I think I'll definately get some ratchet straps for it.  Anyone know where to get some of them?  lol

You just KNOW that I'm going to have to ask me hubby that one too don't you!!!! lol There goes another post it note......DOH!

Hi I have the same problem, and found a trolley in Matalan for £9.99. It takes weight up to 64kg. I put a large 12.5 kg tent on it and two chairs and a fold up table, and it is fine. It has a fold down handle and two pieces at the bottom which fold out for extra width.It has two bungie straps with clips on the end to wrap around the item and clip to the handle. It does the job for me, good luck.

Thanks Gary,

I've just ordered one for £14 off AJS website - sounds similar to yours, it's meant to take 65kg and I just want to put the 15kg tent + two folding chairs on.  It comes with one bungee but I'll buy a couple of extra to keep it safe.

Bank Holidays here we come!

I've remembered - hoorayyyyy! Even though the post it note had blown off the front of the pc!!! Please be impressed

Yep, remembered to ask hubby where he bought the rachet type strap thingy, (no more technical though-lol), and he said that it was in B&Q, but the wharehouse one not the smaller one.

You can find them down the same aisle as the chains and stuff, (another techno term?).

Hope this is helpful, unless of course your new trolley arrives with bungie thingy bobbies anyway!

Well done Hippy Chick! Am suitably impressed with your advanced memory capacity! (Thats the medical term lol)

I will have a look at the weekend.

In case anyone's interested (doubt you are, but what the heck) I have now taken delivery of the following trolley:

It' s great!  I can fit my Coleman Bi-Space + lots of room for chairs and other bits and bobs and at £14 I think I've done well.  I can recommend it to anyone who needs a trolley!

Hi Maceman,

I am glad you found one that's suits you and does the job. I find mine comes in useful, not just for going camping, but for bringing heavy loads back from other places too, like DIY shops etc.

Happy camping!!! And with less weight to carry, lol.

Thanks Sharon!  I just got some bungees from the local market, so hopefully everything will stay put when I wheel it along!  At least I can now take the big tent, rather than having to spend four days in a hike tent !   + as you say I can fetch water and stuff a lot easier when I'm on site.  Yipee

Have a nice weekend you jammy beggar...... Don't even give ME another thought......staying at Windowsill Bay, (AKA Stopatome), in what will probably be a wet and windy weekend. And that's only indoors -lol

Got to get some of those peppermint oil thingies - sort the wind out a bit!

Catch me mackerel mate......

My name's hippy chick and I am a ukcs addict....who also REALLY enjoys fishing too........

 Think my Mrs will wish I had peppermint oil by the end of the weekend !

Will catch much fish for you Hippy Chick (as previously said, will name first bass after you )

Don't worry, if you have to stay at Windowsill Bay, you are bound to to have enough time to get fifth and final teepee by time I get back! 

Don't forget to go to a meeting!
