That's the one
I heard it mentioned recently in a vid but I never actually looked into it. I thought it was a wind up
I guess it actually works then?
I may give it a go but tbh I think I would rather bring filter lol

You can see in the pictures... Aye it works... And any large home ground floaters... Taste like hazelnut to me.
The egg shells neutralise the acidity. Its not just about binding the grinds.

No was a filter comparison video. Was after a lightweight option and the guy was comparing various options. He quickly mentioned egg-shells but didn't pay much attention as I thought it was a wind up. Thinking about it they act like a strainer/press.

More strainer... No pressing
Yeah I know I meant same principle. The eggs act as barrier like a strainer or press does.
Thanks, will give it a read soon

The disappointment when someone asks for a snus and you offer them some egg shells

Lunch stop, conveniently taken to avoid heavy shower, on steps of shooting house on Thrope Edge above upper Nidderdale today. It's the nearest place (8 miles on foot) with a decent slope to build hill legs near to home. There's a lot of gear clues spread out across the step. Fuel is a mix, about 1/3rd meths, people understand the purple colour, Baskin Robins spoon, great for stiring tea and getting your tea bag out. Sleeve of 20ml syringe to measure fuel, saves fuel waste, I just block the end with my finger until I've measured the required dose and then I dispense it from the end that would have a needle on. So far so good with the Topo Trailventure. I'm liking my Liteway Elementum in terms of features and comfort carrying 7kgs ish. I might put some better quality plastic buckle clips on it. They seem a bit chap and plasticy to me, nowhere near as good as the Exped Lightning ones.. I'm not sold on the way the hip belt adjustment works and might change that in the future if I don't learn to live with it. Also the zips on the hip belt pockets are a bit fiddly.

Lunchtime brew, Pic d'Orhy in the background. Nice to be back at altitude

Brew for two on the summit of Mulldonoch. Great views all around in the heart of Galloway.
Typhoo tea with lemon juice and saccharin. (You just can't get the staff these days).
