I will upload a google earth path so you can see exactly where we went (although I am slightly unsure of the starting point as it involved a 700m portage and paddling across several small stretches of water before we reached lake rogen.) going through the travel company was my friend's idea...

The fish were beautiful and wild (although quite small). This was the biggest and it was ~half a pound. the rest were returned unharmed. I was going to take some fly fishing gear with me but decided against it and hiring rods/reels etc proved too expensive (as well as having to carry the extra...

Teepee - you aren't kidding about the mossies! (and termites/ants!). The repellant I used, deet50, was pretty effective though - the guys I was with on the other hand got shredded. Fredster - the "old town" canoe was really heavy and there were many several portages over very challenging...

Hi Everyone, Started in Sweden, canoed in to Norway. Went through Rogen nature reserve on the Swedish side and finished at top of lake Feragen. Covered ~70km in total over 8 days and had a great time. Norway was particularly beautiful. Hope you like the pics...

Hi everyone, starting this holiday in a few days with a couple of friends: http://www.naturetravels.co.uk/water-canoe-tours-sweden-discover-wilderness-canoeing-rogen-ts48cs1.htm and I was wondering what the most readily available and easily identifiable wild foods may be available to...

My favourite too. The cracks on the surface of the bracket fungus are quite cool as well and I was suprised by some of the colours in that picture, on closer inspection.

Took some photos whilst out walking and on review, at a much later date, I was suprised how some of them had turned out. Played with them a bit and these are the three better ones. I like the movement captured by the alder, the atmosphere/composition of the black and white landscape, and the...

Truly incredible - what fantastic images! Quite moving...

Wow, The Forest of Dean looks amazing - thanks for your suggestion. Not sure about how much access there is to fly fishing though.

Hi all, Can anyone suggest a good place to go that would include hammocking/wild camping, canoeing and some fly fishing? it's a long shot but you never know, someone must have done it! anywhere in the UK but central/around london would be ideal. Don't want to spend a fortune either...

Thanks to everyone chiming in on the subject of DD tarps, just ordered, although the camo version is the only one I could get my hands on.

Has anyone had any experience of the tarps that are on offer on amazon? any good?! i've got a DD hammock and need tarp set up. I'm keen to buy from amazon because I have credit/vouchers... also, does anyone have the DD tarp? if so, what's that like?

has anyone tried the Verden 65 Plus 10 Rucksack (berghaus)? any thoughts?

northernranger and sandbender - thank you for your informative replies. your comments are constructive and have pointed me in the right direction and given me a few things to think about, things that hadnt occurred to me. At the moment, we are planning to canoe a few kms then set up base...

Hi Guys, A penny for your thoughts and recommendations regarding rucksacks please. I'm going to be canoeing and hiking for approximatley 8 days and need a quality rucksack that is going to be up to the job. Suggestions and advice needed! Thanks G

I bought the 7dayshop 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars and said I would get back with a review so here goes (please note that my opinion on binoculars is not a particularly informed one and I am only giving my own initial impressions having given them a short test today in good light on the beach)...

will do. expecting delivery this week so a review will be appearing here soon.

Well i've gone and done it - ordered a pair of these as I really don't think they can be beaten on value, especially if they live up to the reviews. My only apprehension is about the weight but then I don't see many binoculars that are significantly lighter, particularly those that are also...

BTW - the travelites by Nikon get a very good review on birdforum.net, with the only downside being their performance in low light levels, apparently. I think I am going to buy a very cheap pair to begin with and can then decide whether I really need anything better. Thanks for all the input.
