They seem to hold half a bottle of wine each, which is nice.

I think a tasty Chilean Carmenere will do just fine 8-)

*not what I'm going to use them for that's for certain.

[pedalhead]

ha, the stuff hp give away. I didn't get any

[Taylor]

Nor me.

[Nick]

Loads in Lytham St Anne's last week! Got one from Milton Keynes. Haven't seen any in Telford, Bracknell, Hook or Bristol though.

Is that three of us who work for HP then?

Small world/huge company - I keep bumping into people from HP everywhere.

Still hovering between the gelert solo and trying not to look stupid putting the tarp up for the first time.. :? :?

[Taylor]

Give us all a laugh

[sillybigfella]

Could be even funnier after a swig or two of port....

[pedalhead]

Have you used the Gelert Solo in anger before? I found mine was suitable only for midgets!

[sillybigfella]

No, I haven't, it was an impulse buy. And midget I ain't :D

Weather seems okay for Saturday night, I'll take my chances with the tarp.

[Nick]

I'm taking a tent, it's only 300g more than the bivvy bag and tarp, and easier to put up.

[Matt]

Trees or Barron wasteland?

[Taylor]

For anybody thats remotely interested.

[Nick]

Was a great laugh, thanks all.

Has anyone heard from Steve?

[Stevemorg]

I'm fine - I just decided to do some bits of the Pendam on the way back which, given how I was feeling was not the best plan!
