Ecover washing up liquid - got it for £1 in Tesco before. Used it for everything in Borneo for 3 months - me, plates, clothes. Almost as good as the lifeventure all purpose which is very good but massively more expensive. Soap bars are easiest for washing clothes, liquid for yourself...

Hi, would be up for some instruction and a bit of overnight winter camping. In Ringwood and currently unemployed so anytime ....

Thanks guys, gone with the ebay army jungle boots. I will start a seperate thread with kit list etc when I get my self sorted! Interestingly BOD, on my assesment with Raleigh we got chatting about kit and the guys who had been to Borneo said exactly the same - too much kit. Cheers, Matt.

the Altbergs look good too, anywhere down south i could try them on? i've seen the course but i'm working as the adventure project manager from June - Sep & will prob want some luxury after that. once i'm a bit more sorted will post my kit list, cheers

I'm off to Borneo for 3 months of jungle trekking with Raleigh International soon, can anyone advice on good footwear. Have read reviews of Magnums here but they appear to have a new model. So under consideration: Magnum Anaconda - if i can find a uk stockist hopefully reasonablly priced...

I'm in Bransgore near ringwood, normally make it down to weymouth a few times a year, looks like there's a few of us!

I enjoyed it last year; mostly camping, climbing and adventure holidays in the outdoors area. Sunseekers are good to look at though!

It's definitely crafty, some may say bush crafty but it made me chuckle.:lmao: little worrying that it came up as an amazon suggestion for me, appologies if its been posted before...

Just finished The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene - a tough read even if you have an interest in superstring theory! Now reading Tricks of the mind by Derren Brown - good so far.

For me this is a classic 'i may not like what you say, but i will fight for your right to say it'. I would have hoped to see scouting operating without the reqiurement for belief in a higher being. However since they clearly state there policy ... fair play to them. I'm sure one can find...

thanks dwardo, do you know if that one is hollow ground? i'v played with and liked the g10 but wasn't keen on the frn drop point models - that could be a good compromise.

can anyone point me in the direction of a flat ground spyderco ukpk, like the g10 that i believe is now discontinued. Christmas budget isn't going to extend to a carbon fibre/titanium though I found one in the US for $92 - postage at $35 doesn't help. cheers, matt

find out who will be reading it and speak to them!

insurance is based on statistics. basically the cost of meeting liabilities versuses the premiums received and its investment value. so they work hard to minimize the payouts - the good condition price in glass's is the normal starting point. If you can prove low mileage, extras or if you...

Try and find something you enjoy and remember it’s the days when you don’t feel like it that you really have to force yourself. If you wake up hung over and coughing that’s the time for a 5 mile run! Injuries need assessing by a doctor but most of the time you will just have...
