Ha ha Chris!! You disappeared off the Cornish radar after your last visit to the county!! Where did you get to? Would be great to see you down here again. :) Martin

Good news!!! The Cornwall RV has been confirmed for this year. Starting at Lunchtime on Friday 6th April and running through to Lunchtime on Monday 9th April. This is always a great weekend, in 100 acres of woods and a very relaxed atmosphere. Check out the Footsteps website here...

My eight items were: 1. Rucksack 2. Tent 3. Rollmat 4. Toilet Paper 5. Head Torch 6. Fire Steel 7. Stove 8. Titanium Billy 1100ml As I eat a largely vegan diet, I considered not taking a stove, billy or fire steel but at the last minute decided to include the ingredients for a...

This may be of interest to you. We spent a weekend with Ivan at his place on the south moor last weekend. Fires, hammocks, tents all welcome. Fresh stream running right through the middle of the site, everything you could want and backs right onto the open moor. Details here...

I'm told that dutch caps aren't affected by this policy. :rolleyes: Martin

As others on this trip will know, I struggled to get down to 10 items, I just couldn't bring myself to leave my toothbrush at home for starters but anyway, here's my list:- Tent Sleeping Bag Sleep Mat Cup Spork Knife Billy Can (With Cleaning Kit) Stove (With fuel canister, wind shield) Fire...

OMG!!! What a fantastic weekend, great company, great location (as ever) and not spoiled in the least by the weather. Huge thanks to all involved and to everyone for making this such a brilliant weekend. Looking forward to next year's all the more now. Martin

For you guys who live in the 'South Midlands' it may be too far but tis just up the road for us proper Westcountry folk. :p Anyway, two and a half hours isn't that far is it? Martin

Hi All As Steve M says, the RV is very much going ahead as planned. I have just received an email from Spanner confirming this. I think the confusion lies in the fact that their website is being redeveloped and their email also went down thus all emails sent to...

Just a thought. How far do you expect to be carrying the rucksack? Short distances from car to camp? Or multi day trips carrying everything with you? If the former, then you could get away with something at the budget end of the market that will likely last for years. If the latter, then...

Here's some, from £2.50 to £9.50 http://www.endicotts.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1564 Hope this helps Martin

Welcome Cornishtrailsloth, you are indeed lucky to live in Cornwall, the hot bed of bushcrafting. As Rawshak says, we have regular meets down here which will be even more regular this year. We currently have access to two areas of woodland, one of which is 100 acres, and hope to have more...

Just to add something else to this. Here are some reviews of the Tesco bag: http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/forum/forummessages/mps/UTN/17074/URN/5/dt/4/srchdte/0/cp/1/v/3/sp/ It would appear that those who have actually bought one, and used it, seem to be quite pleased with them. I'll...

Truth be told, I don't know how they differ, except that they were only £24 and the price has now gone up. The temperature rating seems to be the same, the colour is different but the weight seems pretty much similar. Hopefully, I'll be trying it out during the first weekend in February in my...

No worries Rich. Here it is on the scales with my water bottle for scale. Hope this helps Martin

Hi Nickliv Unbelievably, it is a down bag. I haven't had a down bag for over 25 years and I'd forgotten how light they were. I haven't slept out in mine yet but having tried it out indoors, it certainly lofts up nicely and I can feel the heat building up. It remains to be seen what it will...

Try this one: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-7415.aspx Less than a kilo Less than £40 Performs below 5 degrees I've just bought 2 from the previous range and am looking forward to trying them out. It would appear that you can get small, light and cheap. Martin

:lmao::lmao::lmao: My bad maths strikes again. In that case, put me down for two. :rolleyes: Martin

€575 plus VAT is roughly £588 :eek::eek::eek: Are you sure there isn't a decimal place missing here??? Martin

Not just you..... :( Martin
