I`m convinced - gonna get some, might keep away the swiders, may have to find other methods of scaring away the tipsy campers!

Take one Tesco bag, M&S if you're a poser, cut into strips, tie onto existing guy ropes..

Sorted. £12 saved, Tesco are doing 24 Tennents for £9.99. £2 quid left over to do the lottery, well you never know :)

I used to wire mine up to the EHU with some croc clips. I used to get a lovely "glow" from them and zap any one daft enough to trip over them....

ONLY KIDDING! but.....

On a more serious point I have had people trip over my guy lines in broad daylight. the fact you can see them at night may not help...

I use pennons (including a nice UKCS one!) to show where the guy ropes are - still doesn't stop me tripping over them myself though (& that's when I'm sober!).

i saw a few tents with these a few weeks back, i dont think they glow in the dark though, but better than my white ones, i have now done the whole tent in them and the 2 eurohike windbreaks yes i may be a bit of a camping poser,

They don't glow in the dark, but the slightest bit of light and they really stand out.

I still trip over ours though

The kids always see them but I only notice them when I have fallen over and look back as I am sprawled on the floor. The kids then point their fingers at me and shout " Mum he's drunk again!!"
