Hi David

Thanks for your reply.

I ended up buying a Tarptent Notch for last year’s Challenge. The small footprint, low weight and quick erection were appealing. There wasn’t a lot of room in it but I managed okay. It wasn’t tested at all by the weather as there was very little rain.

I do like the Scarp 1 and many say it’s an ideal Challenge tent - perhaps my next solo tent?

Unfortunately I was unable to apply for the 2019 Challenge due to family reasons but I’m hoping to put an application in for 2020.

Have a great crossing next year.

Regards,

Paul

Ha! I thought I was slightly late to the thread thinking you'd posted in early November this year. I now realise it was November 2017.

What a plonker. Me not you. Well probably!

Depending upon how tall you are, and if you like Tarptents, then the "Notch" is a rather splendid challenge tent.
Several people use them, and it has been my favourite TGOC tent in all my ludicrous number of crossings.

Dear ***
Just realised how old this thread was...

And you did get the TOP NOTCH!

Yes, an old thread 😀 I went with the Notch and it was excellent. Thanks for the replies though.
