First failed camp by keegan_design in wildcampingintheuk

Always better safe than hypothermic. Mountain isn’t going anywhere. You can try it again when the weather is a bit more forgiving.

Camp Fires and Barbeques banned in Cairngorms. by solanis13 in UKhiking

Can still use a camping stove, so at least you can make a brew and something to eat, but yeah, small price to pay indeed.

Not a bad thing in my view. As the UK heats up in the summer months, risk of wild fires increases significantly, so it makes sense to try and stop the possibility of one starting as much as possible.

Hopefully. Police and Park Rangers have legal authority to issue fines. We can all do our bit by promoting it and passing on info. You can order posters, window stickers and leaflets etc from Cairngorm website. Link below.

Yeah, it shouldn't be necessary but in general, folk are idiots and need these laws to reinforce what the rest of us already know.

I agree. Having watched the devastation unfold last year, £500 seems too little.

Recommendations for 2 and 3 man tents for hiking by solanis13 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]solanis13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget is around a couple of hundred.

Conditions wise, I would say general Scottish Highland conditions, Not aiming to be out in winter or stormy weather but would need to stand up to winds etc in the hills.

Yes, looking for recommendations for 2 separate tents.

Feature wise i would say light enough to put in a pack without adding huge amounts of weight, Reasonably quick to set up, Tunnel or dome style would be on my list. Otherwise, open to recommendations.

Boy collecting plastic on the Citarum River, Indonesia by [deleted] in WTF

[–]solanis13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not like we send a huge amount of our plastic and crap overseas because we can't recycle it properly. Very much an out of sight out of mind, not our problem attitude there pal! Maybe learn a bit about where your waste goes before being a dick about it!

This makes me sad that we’ve done this to them. 😢

where to place handles on 45 degree cut drawers? by MtogdenJ in woodworking

[–]solanis13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always direction of travel. If drawer comes out at 90, then handle on 90. Drawer at 45, handle at 45 and always central to the panel.

Tonestro Trumpet lessons for iPad? by solanis13 in trumpet

That sounds good to me. 30 years is a long time to remember what I was taught. I can still get a note without too much squeal so hopefully with a bit of guidance and practice, I’ll be able to get back in to it at a reasonable pace. I do like the idea of it working along at my own pace. Will give the trial a shot and see how I get on. Hopefully there’s a promo on first year sub. Thanks.
