Trangia safety valve
Makes refilling the stove or lantern an absolute doddle,
No need to bring a funnel any more, (could never find it when I needed it)
It may have been me who recommended the PicBoll ... glad you like it.
My Grilliput - love it!! so ickle and fine for some nice veggie burgers - also I am in love with my Coleman Hampton Sleeping bag, it is so big and robust and I sometimes just want to go in the shed and get it out to put it on the sofa but my husband says "Grow up" you have a bed and a perfectly good duvet and me...as I say, I love my Hampton Sleeping bag.....
also, I like that little picnic set, it reminds me of the original iMac and the 'flavours' the computer used to come in. Love my Gelert picnic set though, going to get lots of use this summer.

My favourite new item has to be my 'new' rock peg puller. Not very exciting I know, but after ripping my fingers to shreds trying to extract pegs before, my Dad took pity on me and presented me with this:
Its a piece of old equipment that he cut a v-shaped groove in, and it works brilliantly! The pegs came out like a knife in hot butter. Just put the head of the peg in the groove and lever it out of the ground. I am well impressed, something so simple that makes life that little bit easier.

Aha Spudz it was your good self - brilliant recommendation - thanks!!
I have bought this last year and totally discharged it a week ago by having both light tubes burning. They lasted for more than 36 consecutive hours! That's a lot of nights reading. It took two days to fully charge it again but under normal using conditions it should charge during the drives we make on the day for it to fully function at night again.
Also has compressor and can handle cigarplugs, so will also charge my phone and camerabatteries and help jumpstart the car if need be...
That, and my Dutch Oven of course but they have bene mentioned twice already...
Portable BBQ stand. No cleaning required. Just pop in one of those disposable BBQs and its high enough to sit at and cook. Folds flat and goes into the front locker of the van or on the boot floor.
My favourite new item is my camping gaz lantern. It cost us 3.75 in Tesco at Christmas, and its so good im going to get another for the non EHU trips im planning over the summer months. It gives a nice table lamp glow, rather than the cold LED lights that the ufo ones have.

Cool campers use Delta Pegs.

Mine is my Outwell folding grill which I bought from PJ camping for £20 (I had a credit note) - a barbecue that folds down to the size of a laptop. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, our next trip is 2 weeks away.
Dezzie, I got a camping gaz lamp from tesco last year, they're fab for a bit of atmosphere, aren't they?!
