Vango Neon UL1 Tent Review - 29.10.2022

29/10/2022

*Amateur video alert*
My first pitch of the Vango Neon UL1 Tent. Yes, I should have read the instructions before putting it up. Yes, I'll be swapping the insanely light/bendy/easy to lose pegs that came with it for my own preferred pegs. I'll certainly be practicing pitching the tent a few more times before I use it for SwimCamping. To be honest, I'm a 3 season camper so I'll probably not get to use the Neon now till next year but it definitely was a good bargain in the sale.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I've been a swimmer all my life and over the last several years I've done many challenging open water swims for charity all around our Islands which include the Sound of Barra & the Sound of Harris and both the Little & the Big Minch Channels to name a few.

Having a real passion for open water swimming, I spend a lot of my spare time looking for and discovering amazing new swim spots around the Islands.

I set up The Hebridean Sea Swimmers group in 2011 for all swimmers that live in or visit The Hebrides and it now has over 1000 members. I regularly meet up with visiting swimmers as I love to freely show off our Islands stunning swim locations.

SwimCamping and SwimHiking are my new adventures and having such an amazing playground on my doorstep is fantastic, double bagging my kit into the Lomo waterproof rucksack and swimming to an island for an overnight stay or longer is just the best.
