Golite Shangri La 3/Hex 3 Owners thread

MW we all have bad days, and the post you refer to for which I apologised (and need to again by all accounts), was an over reaction to your comment combined with other things which were happening at the time. It was a mistake, I regretted it, sh*t happens, I publicly apologised, what more can I say?

We all have opinions, some strong, some sweeping, some unrealistic and some accurate. The danger of forum discussions is misinterpretation. Something said face to face with a raised eyebrow, doesn't translate well on screen. My 'hissy fit' and your sweeping 'acerbic' statements amongst them.

We either move on and get passed this, or risk taking this positive thread off track with endless jibes and digs. Which by writing this I realise we are already doing. So therefore it is only fair to apologise to everyone being subjected to this.

I'm sure there's lots we could discuss about the matter, maybe the PM route is the way to go?

I've had a change of heart.

Oookworks 3/4 groundsheet for the GoLite Shangri La 3 shelter. Full information here: video.

This is an item I had made up to order. It's a great bit of kit in excellent condition, only being sold because I now use an inner tent made by the same outfit. It's heavy duty 120g/m2 fabric, so it's never going to puncture or let in water, but that makes it a bit heavier than might otherwise be the case. The weight is c.450g, but I'm afraid I can't confirm exact weight and packed dimensions because I don't have it with me. Price includes postage. £32

---------------

NOTE - I am currently outwith the UK. I fly back on July 3rd, and will post item on 4th-5th July.

Three and a half hours to go.

I messaged the seller to clarify if it was the groundsheet (pictured) or a Bugnest that was included. Reply: 'just the inner fly sheet'. Make of that what you will...

A very cheery video Ed. Do you have a nest or do you not need one for your alpine jaunts? Due to bugs I have rather retired my Sl3 for the summer which is a pity.

Thanks Bluff; most complementary.

Have got a nest Ben - but don't usually need it for the Alps....although we did find a cheeky 'porter' mosquito or two hanging out at 2300m on this trip

Ta Ed. Sounds similar to my use of SL3 as I mostly use it in autumn, winter with bivi bags and just a groundsheet when not likely to see a bug. I notice the Oookmeister does a nest for lanky sods so I guess that would work for me.

I was looking at that earlier on your site; and thinking about something the same last week while away.

Looks good - the corner struts are a useful feature as we skipped on pegs for the floor last week and although you can pop the elastics over the flysheet pegs it does not exactly a bathtub make....although looking at the pics you use separate pegs - guess those could be dispensed with and elastics extended.

I miss my nest

The two front corners use separate pegs as it gives a better angle to tension the tub (although still works satisfactorily using the intermediate flysheet pegs)

All the other points use the main flysheet pegging points.

Stay strong; you will be reunited this week

And are they already part of the massive Oookworks conglomerate industrial production line?
