Cheers for that.... its a good size bag too if you are of the larger persuasion (as i am :) )

230cm x 85.

I'll be off to lidl's for a look see!
 
The watch (which I rather fancy):

I have very serious reservations about this watch, every item of electronic gear I have ever bought from Lidl has only lasted a couple of months at most.
Usually it's the LCD screen that goes.
Happy trails...torc.

Yes, I've bought electronic stuff from Lidl and the same thing happened to me.

I suppose you should keep the receipt and take it back, but I suppose not many people do..

Being strapped for cash, I took a chance on the £15 walking shoes they also had. Nice, comfy, good support, seemed waterproof, and lasted 3 days before one of the lace studs popped off as I did them up. Disappointed, because up until then they were doing well.
 
I just had a look at their 'outdoor' offerings - wouldn't say any of it was particularly outstanding. You are getting precisely the quality you're paying for, not that it's a bad thing if you don't expect too much.
 
I was tempted by the watch but seeing in the flesh this evening it was quite a monster! I've also had problems with Aldi electricals, a former compass watch loses a couple of minutes a day.
I did get the hiking socks though as I've had no problems with their running equivalents.
 
The sleeping bag is described as 4 season but it's only comfort rated to about -2 degrees Celsius as far as I can tell. So it's hardly going to be much use in a winter camp. I've got 3 season bags warmer than that!

Caveat emptor.
 
I have had a look at the sleeping bag too, and to be honest I don't think it's up to a lot I think you would be better advised to look at the "Vango" 3 & 4 season sleeping bags at "Go outdoors" at least they are going to keep you warm
 
And they are a quid at Poundland!
On the other hand, they've got some interesting running tops, and Aldi have some cycling stuff worth a look at - including merino wool (36%) tops for £14.99.
