    Very nearly , my brother bought the kids a giant trampalene . Spent most of last night trying to put it together and have it look like a trampalene !!! got in at 2ish.
    Up again at 7.45 .
    they even do a tent attachment for this trampalene , so you can keep your hammocks! although it is not lightweight!!!!
    Have a good day

    Not even slightly. I mentioned my plans to be out camping, but my buddies decided to stay home with their families, so we stayed with them. It was good, though, because we had roasted chicken with excellent mushroom stuffing, piles of chocolate and wine... just about all the things that you don't have on an ordinary day in China.

    I'll be under my basha tomorrow night testing my christmas prezzie from our Lass. Black on black 4 season. The forecast is for snow tomorrow so it should be fun. I thinking of taking one of my pike rods and a couple of baits, combine my two favorite hobbies piking and bushcraft.

    I really fancied a night out in the woods, but with the snow SWMBO wasn't keen on the idea.

    Spent a couple of nights out in my hammock as we'd got a housefull of guests. It was bliss to have some peace and quiet! (Which reminds me Andrew, I must talk to you about a warmer sleeping bag )

    I'm rather embarrassed to say that it was for a tv, my better half had some conditions about staying out for 11 nights over christmas, but we did only use it for a couple of hours on a couple of nights, not that there was much worth watching , and we only had 3 channels
