I wouldn't say "destroyed" but ripped them open. One rip each on consecutive nights. One was re-stitched in the field, the other rip wasn't so bad, and didn't cause major drama. We had 2 Oly's and my old Wild Country Hyperspace. The Hyper held together. >About 10 years ago I did ...my first extended walk in Tasmania, a 10 day club walk ....it only rained once. It started raining at lunch time on the first day and it was still raining when we walked out 10 days latter! Unlucky player. We do get some nice weather too. Hopefully you'll be lucky on the Labyrinth. (> > What routes are you planning in Tassie?) > > Only a week this time, but a return trip to the The Labyrinth. That sounds great. Plenty of time to do some peripheral side trips. >If it wasn't for the ants it would be a return trip to paradise :-) It's really odd how the Labyrinth is so rife with ants! Little black ones and jack-jumpers too. I doubt they'll prevent you from having a great walk. Have fun. John Mc
