    Where to buy an Exped Downmat?

    I've read the reviews on here and elsewhere and I've decided it's time that I bought an Exped Downmat 9LW. I can see that the UK importer is Lyon Outdoor, but when I follow the links to the shops they supply to, I can't actually seem to find any that stock the downmats. They all seem to just...

    Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

    I was thinking of going to Llangollen to take some photos of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, and wondered if anyone here has been, and what's it like for photographing? I thought I'd ask, because a few weeks back, I took a trip to Shap Abbey, intending to get some sunset shots, only to find that the...

    Can you identify this medal?

    This medal was awarded to my friend, Dick Robinson's Great Aunt, who served as a Nursing Sister on the front lines of France from 1915 to 1919. They have no idea where it is from and what it signifies, or even if it is an official medal. She was a member of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial...

    Both Mad Dave and Spike's crusader mugs went missing at the Bushmoot. Spike's is black, not sure about Dave's. If anyone has discovered that they have a mystery mug in their kit, or found one (or two!) looking all lost and alone, could you let the lads know, please? TVM :)
