    Children's 4 Season Sleeping Bags

    My son wants to continue camping with me over winter. I won't be taking him anywhere crazy like the Brecon beacons, just local hills or maybe even some 'wild' camp sites. His current sleeping bag from Go Outdoors has reached it's limit and I'm struggling to find a really decent kids 4 season...

    Thank you everyone.

    Last nights camp (above the clouds)

    I'm not sure what the second photo is either, but there was definitely something circular.

    Last nights camp (above the clouds)

    Yes, forgot to add the photo. It's not a great photo, I took it on my phone. In my excitement, I was too much in a rush to get to Corn Du to get some photos of the cloud inversion with my mirrorless.

    Last nights camp (above the clouds)

    Not really sure what to say about this camp, neither words nor pictures will do justice to just how beautiful an experience it was to watch the sun set beneath the clouds from Corn Du last night. The camp went well, though. The wind picked up during the night but I took ear plugs this time and...

    Bialaddin T10 table lamp

    Would be nicer if it was still manufacturing these instead of pillows and curtains.

    Bialaddin T10 table lamp

    Bought this today, have wanted a pressure table lamp for a while. Not the cleanest example but all original parts as far as I can tell.

    Cefn Eglwysilan

    Just a short walk over Eglwysilan 'mountain' in South Wales over the weekend practicing some micro navigation and checking out some prehistoric or medieval cross dykes and earthworks. I'm not well educated in history, so if anybody would like to share some knowledge on these types of landmark...

    A short walk in the Brecon Beacons (Nant Crew)

    Thank you, I'm full up with a cold currently, but hoping to revisit the area and walk a little further soon.

    What sort of winter do you predict?

    Yes, it was bad here last night too. I have been thinking about ponchos recently, wondering if they're a better solution than a coat for hiking. I'm guessing ventilation is way better negating the need for permeable materials. How well do they work when you're wearing a backpack?

    I think it will be like a Welsh summer, Wet!

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    I quite fancy one of those wool smocks, I'm just not sure they're that suitable for the very wet weather we get in Wales

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Are they any good for wet weather?

    A short walk in the Brecon Beacons (Nant Crew)

    Not much to say about this relatively short walk apart from I just really enjoyed being out. You can follow the Nant Crew all the way up the valley and on to Corn Du/Pen Y Fan but I didn't have time to complete the full walk today. It's a beautifully quiet and secluded area. Photos taken with...

    An extreme weather camp at Cribyn

    I would like to do a mountain leader course, I haven't really looked into it though. Route cards, time, distance and pacing are all things that I need to work on. Thank you to everyone who commented respectfully, I shared my story in a Facebook group and had to delete it and leave the group due...

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Have you checked stock online in all the stores in your area? I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell out quickly. They still have stock in stores around South Wales. I've got 18x 1L bottles so I don't think i need any more.
