US tents typically have full mesh inners, high cut flysheets (for even more ventilation) and, sometime, the lack of a bathtub floor. A UK design will have little or no mesh on the inner tent, a lower cut fly sheet to 'batten down the hatches' and a proper bathtub groundsheet. We have weather...

From way back when (1985) on the BBC - a bushey themed egg race challenge (er, without eggs) The great egg race - igloos

That is amazing (and beautiful) Could anyone help me figure out how to get a copy of that video. I'd love to show it to my dad but my parents don't have the internet and the mobile broadband coverage at their house is crap.

Paul, Sorry, didn't spot your reply until today. It is still available and yours if you want it. Have pm'd you. Darsha

Max Have you seen this - lightweight polycro groundsheet - worth a punt for £4.70?

Thank chaps, I am aware of the song of the paddle forum but not a member - just thought I'd ask if anyone here had one. I found 3 tiny thumbnail images on here from a post way back in 2006 or so but the poster seems to be no longer active.

I had no idea folding canoes and kayaks existed until a few days ago. Anyone got one?

I'd be tempted to keep what you have and look out for cheap gas stove. Have you seen this hi gear blaze on ebay (finishes at 9pm tonight). Can also be had at go-outdoors for £24 and appears to be identical to the fly-ti sold on bpl for £37.99 Very lightweight but doesn't get a stunning...

No offense meant but this is a zombie thread if ever there was one. I got briefly excited that someone was selling cheap guyot bottles again until I noticed the date - I imagine all the other people viewing this thread were expecting the same thing.

Seriously, why resurrect a 5 year old thread?:confused:

Any chance of a link to the fabric you used?

And that's exactly how to put retailers out of business. If everyone did this all we'd be left with is the likes of Go Outdoors with their fake discounts!

If you mean this one, then I wouldn't buy it without seeing once pitched and getting inside. Had a nosey in Go-outdoors in Manchester and it felt very small due to the saggy inner. I used to have a coleman viper (sold it on here last year) which is a similar design but pitched inner first...

There's an alpkit pot (and mug) for sale in the classifieds section

Worn to and from my local corner shop and for a thrilling walk around the Trafford Centre. £70 (inc £10 postal costs) I have some more pictures I can email if you're interested.

I had no idea the tent was so big, much swearing was involved pitching the thing in my dining room. Pics below The tent has 2 entrances and there are pockets to stuff the inner doors into when unzipped. There are 2 mesh panels on the sides (that match the flysheet vents), Each door has a...

For a lightweight groundsheet you could use polycro, basically double-glazing film available form B&Q etc or here on ebay For something a bit thicker, tyvek sheet could be used. Again, have a look ebay. Lightweight pegs are likely to be skinny so aren't gonna be great in soft ground, including...

Right, seeing as my Terra Nova ad got a load of lookers but no bites until I put some pictures up, I'll try to pitch this indoors over the weekend and get the camera out. If you are at all interested check back over the weekend for some photographic goodness :camping: This is great tent, I...

basha, have pm'd you
