Where are our customers going?
No, we are not losing customers! However some of them are planning great trips which we think will be interest to others. So we wanted to celebrate your plans and in some cases, support the charity based efforts you are undertaking and help in a small way raise some awareness.
So we've started a page dedicated to our customers, their blogs or websites, so that when you are bored and want some inspiration, ideas and suggestions, you might find something here. (Great for a coffee break too!) |

Can you feel it?
The chill has certainly hit us this week and I'm sure everyone all over the UK has felt the same. There's also that early morning smell, that tinge on the nose which tells you Autumn is very definitely here.

It came a complete surprise to find there was a half decent beer entitled 'Old Bob' on the shelves, when visiting the supermarket these last few weeks. Well I thought, the least I can do is support the brand as best I can and so every week the trolley seems to be getting heavier for some reason. Anyway I need to build my strength of course, as more and more boxes of stuff have arrived from Evernew, including ....

Now I like birds. Rose likes birds as well, and we are more than happy when they drop by, sing a bit and cheer up our little lives in our office. So far so good!
Sometimes, Racing Pigeons, those sleek, aerodynamic, athletes of the air, drop by for a breather as they sprint from distant random fields, to wherever their home may be. They stay for a couple of days, we feed them a bit of grain, they have a nice long soak in our bird bath, and then .. they're off, usually without so much as a thank you.

No 302 - Friedrichshafen 2010 - Part 4
This final podcast from the Friedrichshafen Trade Fair 2010 finds us meeting the MSR Director of Tents and Shelters, Dale Karikostas and he and I get very excited about single skin shelters and the new bivvy bags which will be arriving in the UK early January 2011. I also sit down with Toshio Shina the R & D Director from Evernew Titanium Cookwear along with Takaya Mioshi and hear more background about the company, the history of their Titanium manufacture and some of the technical facts you might like to know. But first Tammy Fairweather from Cascade Designs takes us through the 2011 series of Platypus Hydration Packs which have been designed from the hydration unit outwards, resulting in a totally fresh range of packs.

No 301 - Friedrichshafen 2010 - Part 3
Coming to you as live as we can make it, we are still in Friedrichshafen exploring the rich and varied products currently on offer from around the world and in this episode Roman get very excited about some of the new lightweight offerings coming through from Montane and Golite. So we let him off the leash and he makes a bee-line to speak with them and weigh everything in sight. We on the other hand, get down to basics and discuss the luxury of Silk as underwear with Emily from Silkbody. Not only technically very reliable, but so 'nice' against the skin. It's hot and humid wandering around these huge glass structures, and I'm sure there's a cold beer to be found somewhere!

No 300 - Friedrichshafen 2010 - Part 2
More from our hot wanderings around the vast halls at Friedrichshafen where we spend some considerable time in the Tent Village only to find Chris Davidson from Vaude UK and discuss the Power Lizard and more offerings from them using the same fabrics. Heidi Koysel on the Leki stand introduce us to the new attachment for photographers, wanting to turn their Leki Walking Pole into a monopod, and more. Then down in the exciting Cascade Designs stand we meet Vice President Doug Jaycott who gives us the latest information on the new series of Thermarest lightweight quilts and mats which follow on from the successful NeoAir.
