Does anybody know what the Paramo Fuera Smocks are like? Altberg have them on special offer at the moment (£35 rather than the traditional £50) - and I'm quite tempted, but wanted a heads up first! At the moment I've got an Arktis Windshirt - which looks like it does the same thing, but only...

Just found a great website: http://www.geograph.org.uk/ Basically the Geograph British Isles project aims to collect a geographically representative photograph for every square kilometre of the British Isles and you can be part of it. You can type in a grid reference or lat long, and the...

Apple trees in the garden - nice and trailed so they will, eventually, offer some protection and act as a wind break, as well as producing some lovely tasty apples. What a lovely thought. Now the problem. Last year some deer got into the garden and gave the poor apple trees a damn good...

I'm on the look out for a new point and click camera and am after some suggestions. I've currently got an Olypmus Camedia C360 which is really good, although a little bit bulky and very battery intensive (despite me using 2500mAh rechargables!). I've also got a Fuji S5500 which I use for...

Here's one for all the chunky monkeys out there. Where the hell can you get decent "outdoors" trousers? None of the high street retailers stock much above a 40" waist, which leaves me in the cold with bare legs!!! Anybody got any suggestions (except for "try eating dust") which will get my...

How fast do the seasons move? I once read it in Flora Britannica (or Fauna Britannica - one of the two!), but have since forgotten and the library have lost the book!!! Any ideas?

Hello all! I like most noobies, have been lurking on the board for some time now, and finally took the decision to join up! My background is quite diverse to say the least! I've spent several months working in Africa with Pygmies learning the ways of their world, and returned to the UK to...

Is it possible to have a "By location" function added to the member list? Just so we can see if there are any folk active in our area? I'm not looking for pinpoint accuracy like we saw at the OS did at the Outdoors Show, but just so we can search through the users and where they be from! Ta

This sucks! I really, really hate commuting and thought I'd setup a little Blog for all of those out there who hate it so much! So, feel free to post your own ranting and ravings about commuting to and from work here. I've just spent several hours stuck on a lame, overcrowded, smelly...

Hullo all! I was intersted to see if we have any Air Training Corps instructors, officers, NCOs lurking around in these parts? And wondering if you have had the opportunity to run a survival/bushcraft project? I'm attempting it at the momment, and its going down really well! If your...
