The tarps sound exellent. I have a DD tarp but I'd like a cheapo to put under and sit on. Was it TK Maxx in Castle Court?

For the money the tarps a great eyelets ever foot pack down small enough and if you get it to close to the fire big deal it's only a quid.

TK MAXX was in Rushmere in Craigavon.

I'm takin my 2 year old daughter on her first outing today (tolleymore forrest) so I'll give the bivvi a test when she is asleep.

If I'd paid more attention to the post I wouldn't have been in TX Maxx looking for tarps when they are actually in B&M :D

Can confirm however that TK have Trekmate hammocks, bivi bags and sleeping bag liners as well as odds and ends like travel towels, compression bags etc. Can anyone vouch for the travel mate pack macs? Are they actually waterproof?

I checked out the clothes and they have some HH, Berghaus and Craghoppers trousers but as ever only in odd sizes.
