Not bushcrafty, but will hopefully keep me sane-ish.
Bought a pair of Rosemary and Co kolinsky Series 8 sable brushes for painting Warhammer/40K miniatures. I can't find Winsor&Newton Series 7 for decent price online, and wanted to see how these compare. Handmade in Yorkshire!

Would you be so kind as to reveal the Yorks company for those brushes? Please and thank you.
Thank you very much. The last of the long time art supply shops in the city closed its doors just a couple of months back.
Certainly attractive pricing, I'll have to look hard at shipping costs.

Thanks for this, I’ve just dug my watercolours and brushes out, unfortunately can only find half of it, but my daughter has snaffled my brushes and I’m not convinced they will survive the lockdown.
Need to be able to replace them when I’m ready to start painting again.

Love to, but can't up load onto this site.........
However, it's a Blacks Edgington Good Companions, in this case a Standard. I love these tents, and use them a lot when canoeing. I use a Standard when solo, or a Major if my partner comes: both with extended flysheets. Loads of pics on UK Campsite?
(I now have spare of each!).., .....ooooh, and the smell!!
Ha! That is indeed one of mine, on a somewhat busy site but right on the Ouse river.............Like this one?
Basically a larger force ten fly with a shorter inner tent? Nice looking tent. We used university force ten tents, the large ones shared by a load of students. 8 or more man tents I think and really tough. Cotton ones too but the later synthetic versions.
Once saw a TGO cover with a karrimor tent used by this guy who did a winter Munro round. N ultralight for its day despite looking like cotton fly. A kilo in weight too. Lightweight isn't new just got forgotten for a decade or more. I often wonder if it's possible to get some of these old classics remade. I'd love to own that Karrimor tent, Indeed a lot of the Karrimor kit from then was good. A mate still uses a classic rucksack, 20 plus years ten years or more ago when we did a Lakeland round. 1500g in weight and gold guarantee. They just kept repairing and cleaning it under guarantee so he doesn't feel right replacing it. I still think it's as good as new kit. Light, tough and large volume. Plenty of pockets and compartments.

The F10 is a legend on it's own footprint...much regret selling mine.
However the final GC design (the GC went through several designs from the Itisa) predates the F10 by about 30 years although made up to the late 70s, early 80s....
The inner tent, a sort of squared off tipi tent can be used on its own and is waterproof, but 2 designs of fly were available, the extended as above or a shorter, "standard" one that covered the tent and no more.
They were available in 3 sizes, the "Minor", the Standard" and the "Major"......................

Herman 30 Thanks, that's the camp setup that I like = you can get out of the tent with extra room to stretch, even in the pouring rain.
OK tent for sleeping, HUGE fly for living space.
