I posted on someone elses thread a while back about there being a tent in my loft.
I knew my STB ex- husband had left one up there when we separated. I couldn't get in the loft as the ladders aren't long enough for me.
Anyhow, boyfriend has been up there this morning and found it - It's a vango micro 200 TBS - pitched it in the garden and well impressed.
We also found a coleman pocket stove and fuel bottle, a top quality ruksack, a sigg water bottle, compass and a waterproof coat.
Boyfriends eldest son is doing DoE next year so it'll all come in very handy!

Shhhhh, don't let your soon-to-be ex get wind of the find! He might belatedly lay claim to the gear.
On a slightly divergent tack, I was surprised to read how many people either don't use, or haven't been in, their lofts. I'm lucky in that my loft is reasonably dust-free and very dry. I used to have to scramble up a step-ladder (which, in hindsight, was a bit risky) but recently I invested in having the loft floored and a proper fold-down loft ladder installed. It was money well spent - now I have a really useful large dry storage area where I keep my tents and other camping gear.

Ha ha - he can have his tent back if I can have the ten years of my life back that he stole from me!
I've been considering getting a set of loft ladders, apparently is all boared out up there.

Good find!
We are converting our loft into a bedroom and storage room, complete with spiral stair case, so we will have dry indoor storage for all the camping gear; we have tons....( six tents for starters...)
