Hi All,

We have just returned from a lovely week of camping but unfortunately managed to melt a small hole in the middle our groundsheet. I asked one camping shop if they had a repair kit and was told that the company that makes them is not making them any longer. Surely someone must still make such an essential bit of kit! Please advise......

Thanks
Rachel

I`ve never had to repair a groundsheet! How about two pieces of Duck Tape as a temporary measure?

Thanks all - does Duck tape stay put in the long term? The hole is right in the middle where it will get walked on a lot!
