i`ve negotiated a deal to keep my top camp site in Cumbria, hammocks,tents, and trailer tents(well one or two). off up there on 23rd July if you`re interested in joining us, a roast beef (stone oven) and jacket spuds will be cooked, open fire cooking, bring some wood if you can. pm for details...

Hi Kroozin, pretty close to a few of us if you`re in Billingham, will have to have a get together soon while the good weather is here:):):)

Hi Paul, sorry for taking so long to reply, just getting back on my feet after losing my Mam a couple of weeks ago, i`m thinking of a trip to Cumbria next month or early July if you are interested:D

no i deleted the seller after the hammock arrived, not to worry, as i said i will sew it up and make it stronger:)

many thanks, i have them now:)

the hammock was off the bay, jungle type, no name specified but i`ll repare it with my own sewing, it`ll be stronger.

there are no smilies showing when i write a post, is this me or the forum, also i can not find an option to upload pictures with a post, again is this just my computer or the forum?

I did manage to get away for a few days over the bank holiday weekend, i tried out my new hammock which i thought was very comfy although the mozzie net spredder bars sewn on ties ripped off as soon as i sat in the hammock, maybe my fault on set up. I tried out some tree straps i made for the...

sounds good, thanks for trying

I`m interested in this as i have just made a prototype strap that can be adjusted from both ends for length but also has a lot of other tension questions that i could do with some help on if there is a willing member who could be trusted not to run off with my idea, lol. ( no smilies on my comp`...

cheers for that lol, so what is the best width for a good strap and made from ?

as you say, "blending in" and the material is polypropylene 38mm wide

What`s the best colour for hammock straps, i have seen both of the above and also black so which is the prefered colour?

it is a shame, i`m digging around for a new spot, there`s a good chance i will be able to use a farmers field at the Staveley end of the lakes, Style End south end of Gatescarth Pass, a few trees, a stream, a dry wall for a wind break and fires will be OK. I`ll keep you posted on this

sad news i`m afraid, the camp site has changed owners, the house & land have been sold to a holiday let company so i no longer have permission for the place, i`ll have to call this one off unless i can find an alternative venue quickly. really sorry folks.

need to be keeping an eye on the weatherman for this, the long range forecast so far is for rain over the whole w/e in this area, not looking good but there is time for this to change yet.

on this subject of our electronic toys and the minerals used, this makes interesting reading; http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/27/news/international/congo.fortune/

humm, it seems that the lives we live force others to live as savages or slaves, not sure which is worse but our civilised laws are condoning this around the world so who is the savage really?

the OP was intended as a starter to a discussion on a forum which is what appears to be happening. I was also hoping the discussion would enlighten people at the same time, the TV show was meant to be controversial, most BBC3 shows are. the show before it demonstrated the exploitation of miners...

The program actually tells us that the raping,torturing and killing is being done by the army, the police force and the guerrilla forces of this country, not hired contractors or locally hired muscle, it started out as tribal and has now turned to the money,but does it matter who is doing it...
