Advantages: Small, Compact, Lightweight, Affordable. Disadvantages: Get's a bit hot when cooking.
...I go camping a lot! It would be fair to say that I enjoy it, very much! So it won't suprise you to learn that I love checking out camping shops for little gadgets or something new to experiment with.
When it comes to going away, you want to reduce the bulk of whatever you're taking. Even more so when camping, because if you're camping properly you want to go back to basics as much as you can!
This cookset made by Eurohike is brilliant! It's desgin means that you can easily nest each pot and pan inside one another to create a small bundle. Very space saving, very practical. A travel/carry bag is provided with the set.
Made of Aluminium, this cookset is very light. An obvious downside to being made of metal however, is the heat conducting qualities. So when cooking with the set you need to be constantly aware of how hot it may...

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lightweight Disadvantages: Not Waterproof
...Most weekends I can usually be found trudging across some remote part of the Countryside. I have done this week in, week out for many years but it only recently struck me how many miles I must cover on an average walk. It is of course reasonably easily to estimate the distance covered with the aid of a good map but these days there are a whole range of little gadgets available, which measure the distance that you walked.

Well not the wilderness more off of the beaten track. It can be fun, but you really do need to have the best of equipment with you. With that in mind the maps I use are ordinance survey maps and the compass I prefer are the ones made by Silva.
Why choose a Silva compass?
The company that manufactures these compasses arguably Europe’s most reliable compasses, have been making them for 70 years, they are sold to armed forces around the world
Silva compasses are liquid filled and have a sapphire bearing, this results in a compass whose needle rotates smoothly and never has the needle wobble that some compasses suffer from.
Who are Silva...

Fun game, a little frustrating at times, but what game isn't! Graphics aren't as good as other Xbox 360 games but they're not horrendous. The plot doesn't follow the film or the book all that well but it's a nice tame game to enjoy. You control Lyra... more
