Dennis winter doing breeze blocker hand guards down from 30 to a fiver. Not sure about them and their worth. Maybe one for stew to review at that price. http://www.denniswinter.com/breezeblockers-m293?utm_source=57_Managers_Special_Offer__80_OFF_Breezeblockers_Cycling_Hand_Guards&utm_medium=emai...

Remember if it can't get in it also can't get out. Should you go knees deep in something you're screwed. I had the same predicament before but settled for a less costly pair of sealskins socks (full winter ones).

Fat chicks and bourbon biscuits

Yeah needlesports have acknowledged the fault with the shelter and sent a replacement out straight away. They also refunded me the cost of the postage sending it back to them which I thought was nice. I'm actually excited to use it. I don't care about pack size and bulk. I think it will offer a diff...

Hi Stu. Can you recommend or even manufacture a pole for the short end of the silshelter please. If so can you detail cost including postage coupled with your paypal addy thanks

cheers for that stu. Belated happy birthday by the way. Hope the fairies bought something nice!

Silly daft question here. On the bargain thread the silshelter was mentioned at being half price. Bagged me one of those straight away. Now with the lack of instructions im confused by something. It seems that one of the pole pockets has been stitched on the incorrect side to me. Can anyone shed som...

Honestly check out the wild country zephyros 2 tent. I think it is around 130 bucks in some places. Its just a cost effective alternative to the terra nova competition tent and made by the same people. It would also come with a guarantee

Good man and thank you very much.

New bits been turning up over the past few days with the prized kestrel finally arriving today. The Rab ground cloth from r &r backpacking. Heard the ul7 doesn't fit the bag so thought I would try neoair short (I only intend to use this in summer so not worried about 4 season bag and loft). Just...

Thank you for the replies as always I appreciate the input. Out of curiosity if you're using the narrower counterparts such as the hunka regular or the other one I've got my eye on is ti goat kestrel do you protect your matt underneath? is waterproofing an issue or mould growth. I really want to use...

Probably been covered a hundred times already. I want to buy a biv but I want to put the roll matt inside. I use a synmat ul7 reg so would this fit in the normal hunka or just the xl? I only intend to use this with a summer bag as I prefer my tent in harsh weather. Input appreciated Thanks. Oh I'm a...

Your gears are sorted.

It's a dead ringer for the vaude hogan. The hogan was a good tent in the summer but dreadful in winds as there was no guy lines on the back. Ever tried sleeping with your legs in the air to stop a tent collapsing at 3 in the morning!

New brass bell which replaces a 10mm spacer on the riser. Ring a ding

Got the titanium version and it is super swish. Never planned to actually cook with it though. I always wanted one just for a small personal fire for a bit of warmth if needed.

Here are two around snowdon itself. If they're any good send me your email addy and I will happily send the gpx files.

Thank you very much.

Bit if a crap one but most of us have an eye wash kicking about in a drawer (the little plastic one). Pop the lid off, wash it out and fire in some chain lube, lid back on and you have a Perfect sized lube applicator with enough juice for a weekend jolly. Pretty good to have around the coastlines.

Dakota or Etrex 30 are the usual recommendations. Slight highjack, sorry I've got an old Garmin Etrex Vista HCx with a very, very basic topo map which is ok of sorts. For those who use the Dakota or Etrex 30 please can you tell me where is the best (cheapest) place to get the OS maps from and which...

[quote="s8tannorm"]It will be joining me when things get proper cold. I think that statement says it all really. I can't wait to read the reviews though. I can just imagine the experiments you must get up to in your workshop. Just out of curiousity how are you doing on your new stove. Do y...

As always I appreciate the input. I agree this will be difficult one to quantify given the variables involved. The cost is relatively inexpensive but space in my kit list is at a premium. Given the size of the product itself and your experiences with it, would it therefore be joining you this winter?

I know when we're on top of the sleep bag we compress the down and reduce the air it traps and thus its abiltity to insulate. Therefore I am particularly interested in using this either under the roll matt or the sleep bag itself to reflect and possibly radiate some heat back. Has anyone used this i...

For me it has to be Tryfan mountain at SH664594. Some of the best walking and scrambling to be had in North Wales and a great day out for anyone.Literally park the car and within 5 minutes you're at the bottom. Brilliant!

You can buy male thread adapters for the tube to use screw on lids. Use a little pvc cement to bond and it will make a good job a little neater.
