Here you go:
In the first picture, the groundsheet is on the left
folded four times. It's about 3m x 2m. The bowl is on the right. It sort of crumples rather than folds. http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/dscf3855.jpg
In the second picture, there is just the bowl, with four litres of water in it. Tested for free.
With warm water it goes more circular more quickly. Being ex-army it's pretty tough material, a lot tougher than the ones you usually get in camping shops.
You can just about carry it full of water but I don't recommend doing any great distance.

I've just noticed in the second picture there's what looks like a stain on the right of the bottom of the bowl. I didn't see that when I was taking the photo. It's actually some kind of reflection, there's no mark on the bottom of the bowl.

I'll give it the rest of the day and then think of something else.

My initial offer is one of the two items that didn't shift last time I offered.
a travel set of dominoes, in case, with dominoes still in their wrapping. Good basic game for meets and moots.
or, a pair of lightweight quick-dry trousers, originally from Endicotts, zip off at the knee. Sized a little vaguely by them as a 36" waist, ish. I'm a 38, and I can't get them on, or anywhere close to done up. Would guess they are a 34. Nice trousers, and I was most upset they didn't fit, as I got three pairs from them when they were on special offer. As far as I can see Endy's no longer sell these.
Will check in tomorrow and may add more offers if no takers.

Right, in addition to my existing offer, I'll offer up these choice items:
A stainless steel tea caddy with lid (Ablett knife just for scale, not included in the offer)
2 lots of 15metres of coir yarn, as recently sold by Aldi. Makes excellent kindling if you break it down.
Two Observer series books: Insects (1987) and Weather (1960)
or a bottle of home-made cherry vinegar (not pictured)
