HELP!!! AKTO LOST in LAKES

sickeningly, I've managed to lose my new hileberg Akto tent whilst
returning from Sprinkling Tarn, via Langstrath and back to Seathwaite.

I'm guessing it slipped from the straps on my rucksack at one of the
following points:

Descent of Angletarn Gill
Tray Dub (scrambling along the side of the dub)
Langstrath path beneath Cam Crag

When I realised it had gone, I was back at my car at Seathwaite, having
gone through Stonethwaite and sadly too tired, wet and p*ssed off to
attempt a rescue mission!!!! (it would also have been getting dark)

It's been reported as lost to Keswick police, so if anyone has come
across it please hand it in - it's my new baby that I've saved up for
and I definately can't afford to replace it (and no insurance!!!)

thanks in advance

Any chance of a more detailed description of where you lost it?

(thinks - a sneaky visit to the Lakes for a free tent)

Hopefully it'll show up, but if not do check anu house contents
insurance you have. It /might/ be covered, and if it is lost it
could well be worth checking the small print just in case.

How horrible :-(


Um... just where did you drop it again?? <fx: thinks - in 90 minutes I
could be there...>


Seriously, though, I do hope you get it back.


(Well, if I can't have it, that is...)

If you paid by credit card you have a90ish days insurance, which should
cover you even for loss...

What a bummer!
Sadly, I expect you've seen the last of it - but you never know!

Possibly, but I think it depends which credit card.

This is why I'm a great believer in having everything inside of my pack.
