  1. So where do we stand on this guys?

    Has anyone bought and found a decent set up yet?

    I do need a decent camera to be able to ID someone's face from about 30 feet away, waterproof.

  3. Did you find what you were looking for mate. I have a mate that has this charger that lets him recharger normal alkaline batteries upto 20 times + rechargeable batteries

    it cost him a arm & leg at £50+.

     

    I have been using eneloop batteries for the past 6-7 years the first lot I got stoped working for a bit till I got the Panasonic eneloop trickle charger for tham in this charger they seem to last longer too.

    It's the BQ-CC18 I have. The is a quick charger too but I don't know the model no for it.

    No not found the answer i need yet but to be honest that is my fault Dave has OK'd my account as his place but i have not posted there, i'm having a few problems with HDD's and i'm trying to sort it before crimbo, i will come back to this when i get drives sorted m8 sorry

  4. But i'm sure that goes back to early 2000's I must admit i don't often have the need for 10k in cash but sometimes cash is still king in some situations, so anything of 7k i need to explain to some little git behind a glass screen, after all who's money is it?

     

    I'm glad i don't have pots of money any more, i would not know where to shove it. i don't trust the "reasons" behind it personally, it is a nice way to keep the great unwashed under control even more.

  5. I have spoken to Jamer and he says it's ok to post this, so  :Thumbs-Up:   Jamer.

     

    I'm looking for a forum (hopefully in the UK) that has a wealth of knowledge dealing with batteries, both normal and all forms of rechargeable and the chargers that are used to recharge them, i'm looking for info on advantage of NiCd/NiMH/Li-ion/Li-ion Polymer etc, advantage of buying quick chargers over trickle the damage they may do to cells etc, at this stage i'm looking at AA and AAA but may look at others at a later stage.

     

    If any of you have any links to other forums (or any other site) that be of use please let me know, please bear in mind Jamers rules

  6. Didn't buy it in the end going to wait till show in Feb in Birmingham, I'm hoping a new poled (easy to put up, Khyan) tent will be out from Khyam, if not then i would have missed out on a decent deal just hope me waiting will be worthwhile.

  7. I saw that on UK Hot Deals today and am very tempted, price is awesome my only worry is some reviews says it leaks a bit, i'm torn if i should buy now or wait till Feb when camping show will go live in Birmingham and see what is on offer for 2016 range, I have checked ebay and 2 have sold over last few months and went for £210 & £310 so i guess i won't be loosing much if i do buy another in Feb and flog this one, phew will have to make my mind up quick at that price i think, thanks for giving me the nudge.

  8. If i remember this was about the last flight of the Vulcan, if so you may be intrested in this DJ.

    Guy Martin: Last Flight of the Vulcan Bomber.

     

    When the most fabulously sci-fi warplane Britain has ever made took its final flight, crowds gathered around the country from Edinburgh to the Severn Bridge to wave it on its way. “It’s going to be emotional,” says Guy Martin as he plays his part in the engineering work to get Avro Vulcan XH558 ready for its curtain call.

    You don’t have to be an aeroplane nut to grasp what a stunning machine it is, with its stealth-like delta wings and distinctive engine howl – although we also gather it’s an odd beast. Its 1950s design quirks include, amid all the hi-tech, a soup warmer that took 90 minutes to work (“You what?!” squawks Martin) and no ejector seats for half the crew.

    About this programme

    The mechanic joins a select crew of engineers working to prepare the last Vulcan bomber that is capable of flight for a farewell tour of the UK. The programme features contributions from former crew members, who recall its service in conflicts from the 1950s to the Falklands, as well as serving as Britain's nuclear deterrent.

  9. Did Scotland in June it was awesome went on motorbikes with a mate, as for camping look into getting camping pods cheap as chips and you dont have to carry around a load of gear.

     

    ( I know Ive not been on here for ages so some might not remember me, cant seem to find Ness ? ) :Blushing_32:

    I'm holding off buying untill i can get to the camping show in Feb and see what is new in 2015, i'm after a few features and too be honest very few options for me right now, as for Ness I have not seen him in donkeys on here m8 sorry.

  11. You had a look here mate

    http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/

    Funny you should mention that site that is one i had looked at and this item would have been perfect if just a bit longer

    http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/Survival_Capsule/p474753_3347609.aspx

     

    Might have to wait for a clear day and wizz round some plumber's merchants in SE London and see what gives, can't understand why this kind of thing is so hard to find, if nothing else sailors must need it for vital paperwork in A4 form.

  12. Hi Jamer ok i have looked round tons of marine outlets looking for this but nothing has been found, so going down the DIY route.

     

    I'm looking for a round plastic tube, bit like a smarties tube but A4 in length (32 -33cm) and about 7cm wide, and then getting the 2 ends to screw in using rubber washers as the waterproof bit, it's just a longer version of ebay item number 271910381774, now i'm looking for plumber for his/her knowledge on if such a thing can be made if so what bits do i ask for.

     

    I have looked round screwfix and plumbase but it might as well be in German

     

    Something like this

  13. We recently used a pop up tent (2 man) on holiday and it was great! But I would advise to have a look on YouTube to show how to pack it away lol 

    Those pop up ones i think end up going back into a circle to pack away and if that is the one then it's a nightmare, i'd end up binning it

  14. Yea I have planned a john o'groats to lands end trip was hoping it would be summer of 2016 but that may well be put off till summer 2017 as i want to make sure i'm right for it physically/mentally not to mention financially as it's something i have always wanted to do since i was about 17, but health is not great so need to work on that, and was thinking on the trip i'd like to mix up sleeping arrangements from wild camping in Scotland to official sites in England/Wales (may pop over to Ireland), never having camped before i'm looking at either these newish air tents which you just pump up or the more traditional route of poles but not normal poles these would be the quick snap in poles that take about 10 mins to put up, tents i like are all about 20-25KG mark which is a wee bit heavy given all the other stuff i'm going to have to carry, i'm happy to wash in stream etc now and then but still want a shower most days if i can get it, i'm still a bit of a pussy to be honest and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these pump up tents.
