Camping Hip-pack Competition - The countdown starts
Back in April I did some out loud thinking about a fun competition to find the most successful outdoor use of the smallest bag & lightest load for successfully completing a single wildcamp over night.

Well a kind sponsor has provided a prize. And with the realisation that July is almost upon us with the warm days of summer imminent I'd better get off my bum and get this going before another set of trip planning gets in the way.
So here's the draft rules Any comments on them would be appreciated.
The competition proper will be opened on 1st July when I'll post a suitably appropriate press release to the assembled paparazzi outside JH Tower. Just before I let the dogs loose on the unruly curs once they've served their purpose in releasing the monumental news to the world press; And then wait for the bidding war to hot up from OK & Hello magazines.
;-)
So if you're interested better get your name in now.Labels: Hip-pack Competition
