Now why didn't I think to put camping stuff on my list? Oh well, just have to go looking in the sales!

I got a cute pink head torch and some very thick warm socks.

Not really camping, but a Garmin eTrex H GP receiver.

Glad to see a few other Trangia users here!

I got three sheets of MDF from B&Q.  It is so I can build a cupboard to keep the camping gear in.

I went to my mums after getting back from Blackpool and she had 2 so i nicked one,

The only problem is I look like a fat gay jedi

daughter got one of them slankets as well

said it made her look like obe wan kenobi, so think it will be going spare

to be honest i prefer a normal blanket as they're backless

I got one of those multi-tool things that can be pliers, a knife, a screwdriver, a saw, a bottle opener.... And the Cool Camping Cookbook, which seems to have some yummy recipes in it. I think we'll move beyond curries and fry-ups this summer.

Happy New Year everyone,

Wow some real goodies there, have taken at least 3 website addresses from other gifts that people had and intend to have a look whlst the sales are on!!

What did Santa bring me?

1: Well the Wemmi Wipes that I already mentioned in another topic, the best stocking filler I have seen for a while, now a perm fixture in the camping/caravan gear. Cannot believe I had not seen them before!

2: New headtorch as the old one has had its day god bless...tried it already and just fine :)

3: Sealskinz socks (waterproof) - again have tested them and they really do work , suffer badly from cold toes so hope this will help on those night time toilet stops!

4: New beanie/gloves but that is standard for me haha

Look fwd to seeing some more of your gifts :)
