    LD Mountain Centre

    I'd not heard of this outdoor company before. I was searching the internet for a new sleeping bag and a Rab Neutrino Pro 700 popped up in the results at a reduced price from this company. I paid £327 delivered. If you buy direct from Rab, they are £550, Trekkit they're £440. Anyway, beside the...

    The Englishman who went up a hill..

    Well I'm not English, but anyone who knows the title should be able to work out where we camped last night. I camped with my 4 year old son, it's the second time we've camped on this mountain/hill (I don't believe there is an official definition of a mountain), and the first time in our new...

    Book recommendations

    I mean, I don't mind a bit of creative writing/exaggeration. And it doesn't have to be super exciting, I take a lot of enjoyment out of, and like to hear about the mundane tasks, stories that I can picture myself actually doing one day, not necessarily anything like a 6 month solo expedition in...

    Thank you Pattree, It certainly sounds like a book I would read but unfortunately, it looks pretty rare and expensive. Maybe I will find it online and read.

    Book recommendations

    Hi, I'm looking for some book recommendations. I'm looking for a camping adventures style book, not so much educational and definitely not fiction. If it contains stories of camping in Wales, even better. One book I was considering was something from Alfred Wainwright, has anybody read any of...

    Wild Camp at Llyn Cwm Llwch

    Thank you, I love the tent, it's fantastic. I do wish it had a ripstop outer, though. I recommend this tent to a lot of people as the quality is good for the money, it's very spacious and has a big vestibule but it rarely get's the attention it deserves. This photo gives an idea of just how...

    Changing views.

    Thank you, love the Brecon Beacons. Do you mind sharing the location of your second picture? I hiked Pen Y Fan with my four year old son and girlfriend in June. It was a glorious sunny day when we left but by the time we had reached the top it was like winter and blowing a gale. I had packed...

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Maybe not for the squeamish but I just noticed that Military Mart have got the Dutch army wool socks back in stock. Bargain at £2 a pair. https://www.militarymart.co.uk/collections/army-surplus-socks-accessories/products/dutch-army-wool-socks-olive

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    I don't know if it's quite 'bargain' worthy, but it's a pretty good price, £815 for a Hilleberg Nallo. I bought a Hilleberg Akto yesterday from them with £100 saving and it arrived 11am this morning...

    Preppers Shop UK

    Sorry to hear about your problem, I did get a very fast refund, but I did pay by PayPal and requested a refund through PayPal so I guess they wanted to stay in PayPals good books. I did too spend hours trying to contact them by phone to no avail. I comment on their Facebook page a few times...

    Recommend a YouTube Channel

    I was recommended this channel by somebody today, I've only watched a few of his videos but totally hooked. He does lots of tent testing in very exposed, windy conditions. Less than 10k subscribers, really underrated channel, imo. https://www.youtube.com/@TOMHEANEY100

    I like military surplus, unfortunately all of the army navy shops have closed down by me.

    I'm thinking a base camp, if I ever get the opportunity to create one, or group camps. Not that I'm particularly fond of group camps.

    These were also with it. Again, don't know what I will use them for, I already have 2 milk pitchers for my espresso machine. Am I turning into my grandad or would others have taken these home with them? :lmao:
