With the flapping? It’s not too bad to be fair. Most tents flap inside with strong winds and I did have the zips down on the outer for ventilation so it was catching the wind. I’d say my Scarp One was flappier on the inside. Inner could be tighter in design but it’s pretty good

I've got the leviathan 900 also and even in it's smaller stuff sack it took up like half of my Gelert shadow 60+ pack. Can you link me the pack or any storage solutions you have.

One of the tricks is don’t use a stuff sack for your sleeping bag….i don’t use one. I just have one 60K dry bag / pack liner. Stuff your sleeping bag in the bottom and it’ll fill all the areas. Putting in a stuff sack gives you less space. Try that and see how you go.

It’s not often you get snow like that in the lakes so loving it. I know we’ve still had snow in March so let’s hope we get more

If you check the weather for that night it was before the storms were arriving and winds on that summit was 40-50mph that night consistent. Stronger the following day

Are people in Enland only allowed to wear Rab hats? 😂

Haha. To be fair my actual hat is a Salomon I only have the Rab headband. Do prefer it to a hat sometimes to keep your ears warm but not overheat 🤙🏼
