Hi, I am  retired and love the great outdoors in general but hillwalking and backpacking are my passion.As I've gotten older lightweight gear is a particular interest.

Welcome from south Manchester  :)

Same here, lightweight all the way - but not so light that it doesn't work well.

Welcome - agreed about lightweight, there's so much stuff available fairly cheaply now there's really no reason not to try and reduce weight when possible.
