Another update, Lidl are doing a CREE LED torch again, not like the puny £4.99 unit they did last month, although for the money that was still a bargain.

They are doing a 3w model again, similiar to the one they did back in February, although this time it looks as though it may take "AA" and not "AAA" batteries like the February one. so longer run time. £14.99 for this latest offering, the February one was £9.99

For those that don't know, CREE LED are super bright, almost halogen or HID like, MTB nightime riders know all about CREE, not to be confused with regular LED lights.

Also Lidl are doing some nice camping lanterns, using a 7w tube, so again nice and bright for £19.99

Other camping stuff includes a double Self Inflating Matt at £27.99 size is 110cm x 188cm x 5cm thick.

Can't find the info on the website, but according to the leaflet I picked up to-day, all is due in store Thursday 16th June.

Oh nearly forgot 4 person tent for £84.99 looks like it has a SiG. size up is 5m x 3m x 1.9m height.

Next week Lidl camping stuff link.

Have bought a few off eBay. Most average £15 with postage. My last one came with rechargeable battery and charger. 250 lumen. Fab torch, fab quality. Biggest problem is stopping my 6year lad from 'borrowing' it!!

Hi ridgey.

              Those Cree torch's certainley put my trusty MagLite 2 "C" cell torch in the dark, so I need to get round to fitting a Cree upgrade to that, if they do one, seen them for the 3/4 cell MagLite's but not for mine yet.
