Might be worth a watch?

Can't wait for the weekend. One night in the garden then five in the lakes.

Yes please.

I had a boil nightmare in December 2018 and I'm still living with the consequences now. It wasn't a particularly aggressive one but the GP saw fit to try me on a new antibiotic that has had some success on "aggressive boils"; Co-amoxiclav. Within 10 days I had liver failure and ended up on a...

I make use of orange juice cartons as a mold for my fat blocks. I cut off the top bit then fill with a mix of nuts, seeds and fishermans groundbait all mixed in with the melted fat. When it sets I peel off the carton and there's a big block ready for the birds. I find that around now nesting...

It's like a different language all this talk of recipes and prep. My mother could burn a salad and now when my wife calls our daughter down for dinner she phones child-line. Oh for a chance to sample some of the stuff mentioned here.

I had to google what this was; now I know. Thanks for this.

I have read several reviews on this sleeping bag and all seem fairly positive. To be used only during the winter months for wild camping in the UK, are there any users on here that can confirm the suitability of the product? Currently on sale at £139 it seems a good price for a down bag.

Just returned from a trip to the lakes, spent three nights alone in Patterdale at Side Farm campsite and can sum it up in two words. Wash out! In my excitement to try wild camping I didn't factor in the weather as I should have but the craving was too great to resist. I did a recce up to Angle...
