    Up Cavehill tomorrow to take some photos of my TKMaxx billy can and hobostove in action for Tony (sorry mate, taking my time I know!). Two weeks time a good few of us are heading to Lough Oughter (sp?) in County Cavan for a spot of camping and fishing and whatever else. Then the Trossachs in Scotland for a week at Easter.... lots to do, i can't wait!

    BTW any of you Irish BCUK guys know Lough Oughter? Would be good for hook up if you fancy it!

    At last a weekend off, with semi-decent weather forecast (going to be cold notherly wind Monday though.)

    Going to Achray Forest in Trossachs tomorrow am with wife and sons for longish walk/bike, and hot picnic lunch. Youngest is just 18 months so nothing too intrepid!

    ahhhh, I see... I was just wondering, 26 weeks worth of outdoor activity in that last 6 months is pretty good going - I was just about to ask if you were a bank robber in the evenings. :-D :-D

    Was looking at thos TKMaxx coffee cans today and *very* nearly bought one. The seethrough lid put me off. How did you affix a handle to it & what did you use?

    I noticed the see thru cans too.... think they must be the new line or summink. The ones I got seem to have gone now and that was only a few weeks ago. Jammy B******! heehee! Though I'm sure they will back in soon :-)

    the older versions did not have a see though lid

    my local TK maxx has both versions in
    Success is not measured by what you have, but by what you can do without.
