I bought a few bits and pieces for our first camping trip of the year last weekend. Two of the Aldi campbeds, one of which broke when I sat on it on Saturday (a tip for any of the larger members here. If you buy one of these don't sit on or too near the edge). I repaired it with a stout stick lashed on with para cord, (another one of my purchases).

I also bought a few more rock pegs, some spare guy lines and an eyelet kit. These were used to modify the sheet from an army surplus IPK (Individual Protection Kit) to make an improvised awning for the tent. This stood up well to the strong winds we had but sadly less well to the attentions of a New Forest pony, so some repairs and a design rethink required.

Lastly I bought some wonderful meat from Hockey's Farm Shop near Ibsley in the New Forest. Anyone camping down there should really check them out. Their bacon in particular is fantastic and they do a 1lb pack of "mis-shapes" for £1.50.
 
Just bought myself a stainless steel swedish army trangia; as I figured it would be better to use on an open fire than the aluminium version.

Air Arms TX200HC.
It arrived yesterday so spent 3 hours solid down the HFT range last night with a huge grin on my face shooting.
