The worst place I found for sheep mugging was Kinder downfall, everyone had to climb the rocks to get out of their way

Cos the wife said I must have a screw loose.
I don't know either - the dog may have been playing fetch, and I took no notice ?

Small tip! Take the hit and invest in a snug pak under quilt! I could just not get comfy or warn with a thermarest. Forking out for the under quilt was the best decision I ever made, well worth the money after a night with one.
