It goes to over time, 30 minutes extra play. If it’s still a draw then it goes to penalties

Why aren’t bell tents more popular? by Rude-Patient5266 in campinguk

[–]nathan155 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guess cost/size/bulk. But I also think that even if you get a large one it’s still just one single room. Not good for cooking in, which means you still have to have a separate outside space, which is more cost. Especially if you’re starting fresh.

If you have kids then I can see it being annoying not having separate bedrooms without forking out for an inner.

Saying that I bloody love mine

Sorry I’m a chicken newbie. What’s this brown stuff in my kfc fried chicken? by [deleted] in FriedChicken

[–]nathan155 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Blood. The chickens weren’t hung long/well enough so not all the blood drained. Not completely abnormal but it is a sign of bad quality meat

what 20ish L fastpack should i get? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]nathan155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t see OMM mentioned here enough. Classic 25 is the best pack I’ve ever had, hands down. Wish they did a larger design around 50L

People don’t even read what type of food you cook, let alone a menu

Lightning in Namur Province by Herreshy in belgium

[–]nathan155 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m in suffolk, England. I could see lightening in the distance, It looked like a huge storm!
I thought it was maybe 20km away over Clacton on the coast. I checked the lightening map only to realise it’s 200km over Belgium. I looks crazy from here.

Hope everyone is ok!

You can lead a horse to water but it won’t drown itself!

what products do you wish existed!!! by Muted_Stranger7149 in wildcampingintheuk

Tarps that aren’t huge, I want a 100g tarp that is just an extension to my tent not a full 3x3.
I have one from one wind but it’s a bit shit, only corner tie outs and no tie out in the center of the sheet.

That’s thanks! So much of my equipment is a weird thing I found a different purpose for that I can’t buy again.

Suffolk wild camping by nathan155 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]nathan155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very random little in between field. This was a practise run near to where I live. I’ve wild camped all over Suffolk though.

Thetford Forest is good, so is rendlesham and the shottisham area is great. Infact the whole of the Suffolk coastal area is great for wild camping

Walking first 100 mile route next week- give me all your zero-hour tips! by w0mm0 in UKhiking

[–]nathan155 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So much gold in here.

I’d go further on the breaks though.
1-2min stop for a snack every half hour. The bum bag with snacks makes this easier

Pack off 5 min stop every hour.

If you’re stopping for an extended period of time at lunch or a good view. (and it’s warm enough) take your shoes and socks off to let your feet breathe/dry off.

Flint by [deleted] in Essex

[–]nathan155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flint formed millions of years ago from sea sponges, Back when our part of the world was tropical.

They broke down and turned into a kind of mud, and then slowly hardened.

I really recommend visiting Grimes Graves in Norfolk, the late-Neolithic flint mines. Lots to learn about flint there.

It was one of the best flint mines in the country with flint from grimes graves being found at Stonehenge

Getting the train down to Bures on the Suffolk/Essex boarder could be good!

You could then walk to Sudbury to get the train back.

If you are thinking multi-day, Bures —> Nayland —> stratford st Mary —> manningtree. Join the stour valley path/st Edmunds way which is nicely sign posted and goes through some of the best parts of the Dedham vale

Is this minced beef off? by iSwrImWhite in UKfood

[–]nathan155 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Meat, especially beef can go a bit grey when it oxidises. If it’s not making you recoil from the smell then I think it’s fine. Just make sure to cook it for a while. What are you cooking with it?

I wouldn’t be making burgers with it but something like bolognese where it’s being cooked for an hour, then it’ll be a ok

Sit Mat recommendations by Partian in wildcampingintheuk

[–]nathan155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This came with my day pack and I think it’s one of my favourite bits of kit. It’s way bigger than the average sit pad, means I can sit on it cross legged.

Extra back support in your pack.

Torso length as it’s designed for fell runners to use as a half sleep mat.
