MananaManana goes to the Italian Alps...
« on: April 25, 2007, 22:29:33 »
Scotland 07 version 2.0 hits the road on Friday.

All the usual suspects, plus El Diablo, plus his magic injectable oranges, plus Young Tom, minus Young Tom's Trangia, are heading to the Italian Alps. As Catherine has pronounced: 'Pizza Napoli, pronto.'

Due to the abuse received about the Portugal reports being two and a half months late, we already have information:

Smangas are better. Cheap at only 13 euro they last for as long as you manage to keep the peices together. Anyway you can always buy those little camping stoves in Italy. Don't let Mickle or cormac lynch anywhere near your navigation unless you really want to go to and stay in France.

'There are no stupid questions...'

I haven't been in Scotland Scotland in a long time. The last time I was there I was paddling an Aquabat if that means anything to you. Anyway the point is that it predates my growing expertise in Photoshop - hence no photos.

for kieran,

in the words of simon barry:

Tranjas are great for preparing food that doesnt require heat for extended periods of time... a nice salad is the sort of food that can be perfectly well prepared in a tranja, as can a packet of Tayto. Simply open packet of Tayto, pour into tranja dish and enjoy. No need to light the meths, which is far better used as a mixer for your buckfast anyway.

The kettle that comes with your tranja can be coupled with half a pint of water, tinfoil, duct tape and a BIC pen to create the most amazing bong.

The MSR Whisperlite is the dogs danglies for setting cars on fire, melting high temperature steel, breaking into banks, stuff like that.

You should really check out the Outdoors Campfire (TM), all you need a picnic table, axe and petrol, you can throw your tin of baked beans on the Outdoors Campfire (TM), stir the fire with your Pokey Stick (TM) and wait for the tin to explode. Now lick the baked bean remenance off your travelling companions face! What joy.

Don't you mean predates the interweb?

Outdoors Campfire (TM) takes no responsibility for any shrapnel injuries resulting from the possible explosion of said tin of beans.

Yep Cian, Jim paddled one of them in Scotland. Not the most comfortable ride ever.

Smiley face icon goes here.

Up to my elbows in foam and adhesive getting ready to go, and the Ramones comes on the stereo - 'Now I want to sniff some glue.' It's a sign - Joey Ramone is looking out for us!
