Travelling and hiking with a friend all over Ireland and Scotland. We were carrying something like 65 pounds each, stuff like 2 pairs of jeans, pots and pans, several days of food, a large Bleuet stove (not collapsible ) and a HUGE borrowed (we had no money...) tent for four people ... this was september/october, the weather was absolute crap


Your trip sounds very similar to Expedition d'Irlande of 1796-97 with about the same kind of weather -- except that those French invaders in that earlier instance never made it ashore to set up camp. grin grin
