We didn't go with any special lightweight gear but our full packs were around 12kg including food, water and a share of the tent. You'll pass a lot of people with considerably more weight. You will appreciate a good fitting sack thats doesn't slop about on the Cirque de la Solitude scramble. Hi Sally,

VAT and p&p, even cheaper if multi-buying) and are really strong. Highly recommended. Re. titanium pegs – the Alpkit Tikes are excellent value (10 for £15 inc.

I've seen some aluminium pegs on Alpkit website. 6 for £5 weighting a bit more @ 33gm. But there do a multi-buy saving, I think it was 10 for £4.50. So more pegs the cheaper it gets and it's free postage for standard delivery. May get some myself. The titanium pegs are nice @ 11gm and a nice price too.

Be careful with the carbon pegs, heard some bad reports of them breaking. nice tent all the same. am, I right, it’s the TN Laser Comp tent you have, if so.

I'm back up that way visiting my Nan and Mum, while also getting a service of the car done. AFAIK the article isn't online, and I'm not sure if you can order back issues or article reprints. It may be worth calling TGO and asking them, they are very helpful people.
