Iz the site hammock friendly?

It is ideal for hammocks, plenty of woods around the camping areas

Pete,
You can buy a really cheap tarp on ebay. Just to see if you like it. Thats what I did for my son until he got a 3m square one from Outdoorcode. The cheap one cost about a tenner.

Peds you could try your local diy/gardening shop and get a cheap plastic tarp with eyelets for next to nowt,
They are heavy and heavy duty but do the job.
I'm busy connecting garden lights under one at work at the moment.

 

[spoony]

machine mart do camo ones £4.99 just to try although if the wind picks up they can be noisy

 

[peds8045]

Thanks for that i'll get a cheap one....will you still talk to me if its a camo pattern...dpm seem to have a bit of a stigma attached to it...don't know why

Pete

 

[hammy]

Maybe , Maybe Not.

What are the requirements for venues, if any ?
I would be interested in holding some events or activities at some of my Parks and Woods in the West Lancs area.
I would also be interested in hearing from people who do workshops/demo's as we hold some good events and are always looking for interesting and unusual ideas.
We also hold some interesting walks, primarily aimed at novices though.
Sorry for jacking the thread slightly, i would love to come, but dont think I can make this one

Nuthin wrong with DPM fella.
I think some folks don't like it as they don't want to come across as a Walter Mitty wanna be Rambo type. I don't really care as I love cammo patterns and am not fagged what folk think.
