Has anyone tried the ebay ones - they are about six pounds each ?  

Lidl have got the microfibre ones back in next week (Thursday 23rd). You can get a pack of either 2 hand towels or one bath towel. We had ours from Lidl 3 years ago and they're still as good as new today. They dry extremely quickly but as mentioned before they feel a bit odd if you've got rough hands!

Mad rush to Lidl..................

I've ordered some off ebay, £1.99 each, I'll let you know how they are.

If you are worried about damp towels but cant afford the 'posh' ones yet.  My sister advised me to take face cloths for the main drying when you get out of the showers and finish off with the large towel.  IT WORKED!

I only need to take one large towel and a few face cloths or flannels as they called them oop north!

My daughter was very lucky and went off to Australia on a six week back-packing school trip a few years ago ( she got p/t job and paid for it all herself ) - she had a brilliant time.

Anyway, one of the teachers that took the group was a very well travelled lady and she recommended that everyone buy a 3m length of muslin and hem it. It had many uses - one of them being as a fast drying towel !  Think it worked really well too, although you would probably need small travel towel for hair-drying.

Others included - to cover you at night to protect from mossies / privacy on long train journeys when you wanted to sleep and not be disturbed / 'cover up' for hot weather  

Maybe you could try this out as a cheaper alternative to the travel towels.
