Anyone looking for a lightweight high spec backpacking tent needs to see the new GO Outdoors range from OEX. The Phoxx is only 49.99 and its a better spec than my Robins. Apparently OEX is a group of ex go outdoors employees who have set up their own gear company here in the UK. The spec is very high in relation to the price tag

Spent the evening in one of these, at 6'1" i found it very uncomfortable, and def couldnt fit even my little 50l rucksack in with me.. pitched my (slightly less uncomfortable) string hammock and tarp at 2am after getting fed up lol
 
I got one a couple of years ago to leave up in my woods, been there a couple of years now and is definitely ready for replacing but has lasted well for the price.....you wouldn't want to try and listen for pins dropping though whilst underneath it, they tend to be very noisy in a breeze.

Out of curiosity why buy one and cut it in two when you could simply have bought two, now you have to hem them and put in the eyelets when you could have had it done for you?

D.B.
 
I wasnt thinking about it when i bought it, but having pulled out a similar old blue one, decieded it was to heavy for anything but sticking in the car as a single tarp
 
Just popped into homebase for a small pack of screws and they are selling off discontinued power tools cheaply. I got a BD mouse sander for £8.99.

just come back from yeovil, Blacks have a halfprice sale on tents, some decent brands, lots of cheap BBQ stuff end of season in wilinson, most of it is 1/6 normal price, set of bbq utensils 50p!!

- Don't confuse "Blacks" with "Blacks of Greenock" though! (I wish their Solace was 1/2 price!)
 
250g Look What We Found chilli con carne pouches at £land

Thanks for the heads up, mate :)

Every time i've looked for em in the £shops up our way, the shop assistants are clueless, most of them haven't heard of them, they all ways take me to the mug shots packets :confused:

I'll call in our local £land this week some time, see if i can find them.

Just think of it like foraging, move slow and rummage around there's lots of tasty nibbles to be discovered. LWWF pouches tend to live on the bottom shelf as the display box/pack are a little heavy and if lucky you'll find some of the more popular Spicy Meatball's pouches that have got lost at the back.

Aye, cheers mate.

I'm off out Xmas shopping over the weekend :eek: i'll pop in a few local £lands in our area, have a good forage about :D

I've been looking online, but it's a fiver delivery for a case of 12. Wish they had a option, where ya can reserve click and collect.
 
Well i finally picked up half a dozen LWWF meals, from my local £land. Only had the chilli con carne ones in stock, but hopefully they might be getting some more flavours in.
 
I was in my local Tesco today Gaz, they have a similar thing to the LWWF meals for a Quid, Toscana is the name, bought a couple to try but haven't yet.

You'll have tell us what they like mate, i've had LWWF ones before, but not the chilli ones.
 
The nations favourite £1 shop has turned another little gem with a candle in a metal tin that has a nice push fit lid, available in vanilla or lavender.
Average burn time for similarly packaged product in Tesco is claimed to be twenty hours and will cost you upwards of £4.

So a nice stocking filler for the other half and when they're done you get to keep the tin for bushy things.
