Paramo Pasco Jacket






I have just seen this interesting jacket on the Paramo Covent Garden Store Facebook page


"The Pasco is cut on the same pattern as the Quito so same features but the left hand internal mesh pocket is substituted for the external napoleon OS map sized working pocket. The outer fabric is also the regular weight not the light weight from the Quito for extra abrasion resistance."


Its only available from the Paramo Covent Garden store at the moment.
Do I need another Paramo jacket?........

Backpackers Winter Get-together


If you are interested in backpacking and are free between Friday 13th January and Sunday 15th January you are welcome to join us at Church Farm,Sixpenny Handley on the Dorset,Wiltshire,Hampshire borders where a number of us from The Backpackers Club will be meeting up.We won't be backpacking as this is a "static" weekend but there will be a walk via Penbury Knoll and Woodyates led by John Yale on Saturday or you can do your own walk if you wish.
There is a Bar open on the Campsite serving Fish & Chips which is open on Fridays only during the winter.In the nearby village there is the Roebuck Inn which also serves food and there is also a well stocked village store so you won't go hungry!
It is £7 per person per night and there is no need to book in advance as there will be plenty of room for everyone.
