The most comfortable pack I have ever used without a doubt. Bring on the Hardmoors 55! Still not sure which big bird made those tracks ahead but definitely a different set of talons to the ones on my feet!  #trailrunning   #run   #running   #inov8   #northyorkmoors   #raidlight   #kamleika   #adventure   #outdoors   #countryside   #yorkshire   #england   #ice   #icy
