The one you're referring to is catering towards the airsofter now so alot of his kit is cheap-chinese-made. He occasionally get something decent in but only rarely. Have you checked out ebay joely? What size are you, i might have something that fits you?
There are a few army surplus shops in newcastle if you stop off there before going on to brockwell !
The main store is on pilgrim street and has a good selection off stuff i just bought a wool army blanket still in the wrapper £14
7 foot by 5 foot i think ! (i am no relation or connected to the shop in any way ! ) by the way ! lol

the water at the site (from the stream) is no good to drink according to the owner she would not, even after boiling.

i think the water problem is to do with the fact there is an old dump near to the site, this will mean heavy metles and possibly toxins leaching into the water source from that site....
the farm house has a tap which it 10 mins walk and there is also a toilet there..... there are a few rules which i will copy and paste now for all to see..... the site has been booked provisionaly for 10 people by my self...... there are rare breed pork sausages and chops for sale (frozen) from the farm house which is where the toilet and water tap are (10 mins walk)
Information for prospective campers at Brockwell Woods:
If there is space on the date you require, it is helpful to know what time you would arrive. If we are not going to be in, I usually leave maps, spades, saws, rubbish bags, water bottles as required for you to borrow and return outside the front door. I leave an envelope with your map to post your fees through the letterbox.
It is a proper 26 acre wild wood, no toilets or shower blocks - you can get water from the house and there's a WC there too. There are lots of little clearings and places where you can camp throughout the wood so you can just pick your place - the map will help you to find them. If you have a car, you can drive across the fields into the wood and park near to where you will camp, or if you would prefer, park at the house and walk across the fields. It is 10-15 minutes walk across to the wood.
We expect people to leave the wood as they find it - take nothing, leave nothing. You need to bury human waste, burn paper, ESPECIALLY TOILET PAPER, and collect up and bag all rubbish. You can leave this at the house if necessary.
We expect people to behave with consideration for others who are camping, local nearby residents and the environment of the wood.
Please note that we require groups to sign a signing in sheet with names, addresses, phone numbers, car registration where appropriate agreeing to this statement:
We expect that campers will take responsibility for damage to property and the environment. Signing your name on this list implies that you agree to behave reasonably, with consideration for other campers, local residents, property and the natural environment. We will take appropriate action with the police and through the courts if this is not the case.
We charge £8 per person per night, £4 per child, under 5s free.
You are welcome to light fires responsibly, clearing up after them. There is plenty of dry wood - fallen and felled trees which can be cut up for firewood. You do not need to fell live trees.
Dogs are fine too if kept under reasonable control.
Please let me have a mobile phone number, address and car registration.

Here are the instructions to get here by car:
From the Western Bypass (A1 to Hexham) follow signs to A695 Blaydon, or from Scotswood Rd, go across Scotswood Bridge following signs to the A695 to Blaydon and then Prudhoe. At Blaydon roundabout you'll see a MacDonalds. (Don't stop there!) Take the Prudhoe road A695 out of Blaydon, 1st mini roundabout turn left, (not signed). Follow road round until you see a left turn Herd House Lane, signed to Blaydon Burn.This is the second left off that road. Turn left and follow road to the end then turn left onto Liddels Fell Road. Follow the road down into the dip, Theres a sign Blaydon Burn & 30mph sign. You see a white house, a stone house, Longridge Road, a pylon, then as the road curves sharply to left and up the hill, youll see a gap in the stone wall on the right marked Blaydon Burn House. Turn right, bump up the track and youre there. Look for the conservatory on the left behind the very large holly.
If you miss that turn, take the next one right off Burn Road into Beech House, its the other half of Blaydon Burn House and the drive curves round in front of the two houses. Its also a bit less bumpy.
You can get a 49 bus from Gateshead to Black Lane or a 32 bus from Newcastle Central Station to Winlaton and walk down Burn Road to the Beech House entrance.
