    Evening All, I am planning on heading here in the morning, last minute, spur of the moment thing! I've been pouring over google earth looking at the Lochs in that area, as I would ideally like to pitch up alongside one. I will be using my Varanger Camp, and a campbed, as I intend to stay for...

    Recommend me a Folding Campbed/Chair

    Morning all, I'm looking at buying something like the above for when I am car camping with my Helsport Pasvik Lavvu.

    Opinions on the Helsport Pasvik 4-6 Lavvu

    Afternoon All, I am looking at the above as a treat to myself this Christmas. It appeals for a number of reasons, the size, and the fact that I can have a stove fitted for the winter are the most obvious. Does anyone have one? Or something similar? Just thinking, would this be safe to have a...

    Need a replacement Sleep Matt

    As above guys... I have been using the Alpkit DIrtbag for the last few years, and its served me very well. However, on my last outing I woke up at 2am and it was as flat as a pancake. Upon inspection, the foot end seam (which is always rolled up first due to the valve at the opposite end) is...

    Snide Comments

    I'm throwing a potential hand grenade here.... But its something I am noticing more and more on BCUK. Recently, there have been a number of times when I am happily just browsing the forum, the thread I'm reading is going along nicely, and then out of the blue, a snide remark is made...
