    Old Codgers and Old Bergans...

    I love old framed bergans but as I near 50 I have to admit - they're heavy, too heavy, even when empty. As a 9 stone 18 year old, two weeks wages was a small price to pay back in the 80's for a Cyclops Vulcan. The ability to carry a house on your back as you cut about on exercise was a huge...

    CAUTION - strange find in new sleeping bag!!!

    I saw the Tesco "lounger" type sleeping bag for sale a few days ago, designed to be used with those loungers used by fishermen, and as it was reduced from £30 to £6 I decided to buy one. Last night I tried it out; stacks of room below my feet, quite wide, warm and lightweight-ish and I slept...

    Shepherd's Whistle - Aaaargh!!!

    I bought one of them thar Shepherd's Whistles last week. I've plenty of whistles but thought I'd give one of these a go as my dog is part Border Collie. In the good weather "lip whistling" is simple but in late Autumn and Winter it's not so easy. In fact my lower lip can split wide open, a...

Upon pulling the arial out my hand was covered in...
