When to buy a tent?
Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:06:01 +0100
Would I be right in thinking the time would be Sept / October when all the
shops are going to have to hang onto stock all winter if they don't sell it?
I'm after something pretty big - perhaps a 3-4 man tent but with only 1
bedroom, basically meaning plenty of room for 2 people, perhaps from
Decathlon as they ...

Family holiday/camping games
Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:25:14 +0100
Hello,
Does anyone have any good camping/holiday games they would like to
share? Games that don't need a lot of equipment -- such as just a pen
and paper.
Here's one that we play regularly:
Equipment: Paper and pencils
Players: 3 or more.
Give each player a small piece of paper (1/4 A4 is fine).

Need a new 2-3 man tent ?
Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:47:40 -0700 (PDT)
I f you need a new tunnel tent, I have a new Sprayway Valley 4 with
trolley bag + Footprint Groundsheet
+ Matching Wind Shield.
I have test erected it in my garden and verified it does not leak and
stands up to a good blow.
In my opinion it is too small to accommodate four adults, especially
if raining

$100 Gas Voucher, Save On Gas
Fri, 8 Aug 2008 16:32:42 -0700 (PDT)
I just discovered this new site that's giving away a $100 gas voucher,
for free!
Can you believe the price of gas these days?
In my area it's currently over $4.75 per gallon, and all signs point
to it going even higher, very soon. I remember the days when gas used
to cost $0.99 per gallon, but those days are ...

WARNING !!!SETANTA SPORTS SUBSCRIBE AT YOUR PERIL!!!
Mon, 4 Aug 2008 11:34:33 +0100
Not only outright terrible customer service, but they repeatedly lie, change
the terms and conditions they have agreed to, deduct moneys from your
accounts without permission and generally conduct their business in a
pathetically dishonest manner.
How can a Company of Setantas size operate in such a sewer rat m ...

CONWAY CORNICHE POLES
Fri, 1 Aug 2008 10:34:19 -0700 (PDT)
I know this is a slim chance but does anyone have a set of poles for a
Conway Corniche trailer tent. We have had our tent since the early
80s and last year a freak gust of wind took the canvas and poles with
it, bending the poles beyond repair.

Double self inflating mattresses - which one?
Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:35:18 +0100
Are they any good (or are any specific ones particularly good)? Thinking of
getting one for myself and the bird. I like normal self inflating mattresses
over the airbed type (distinct leaning towards comfy camping rather than
bivvying), and over boggo roll mats which seem far too hard.

WiFi on sites

Currently on a campsite in France which has a FON WiFi hotspot.
(www.fon.com)
The connection on the site is very slow but this is due to the site
having connected to an ordinary line and not Broadband.
Good connectivity depends on how far you are away from their WiFi
modem
Cost is ?3.00 per day

Walkie talkies
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:00:29 +0100
Hi,
We are thinking about buying some walkie talkies for the kids to keep
in touch when we go on holiday. I have looked around and all the ones
I can find are either really cheap (and therefore rubbish) or very
expensive.
Can anyone recommend any makes/models that are good enough to work
properly, but not v ...
