Can we just have a quick show of hands for weekend ? I'd hate to leave someone behind if they're running a bit late ... at present I believe there's:

Myself
Flatfishy
Ian
Pedalhead
Stevemorg
Yetiman
SBF
Nick
Fantastic

Have I missed anyone ?

Is Pete not coming?

Everybody email and pester him, see if we can bully him into coming. ;)

Or is he off to see Santa again.

What are people kipping in? Space is tight with my mini-peak and my Rab winter bag (I really wish the Cotic would take adecent size frame bag) - is everyone else doing tarp and bivi (with optional annexe) or are people taking their pyratents etc?

You must've put a lot of weight on if you need a tent that size! ;)
