Had to share this!!

Just been to the Yeomans Exhibition at Middle Farm.  Just inside the door they had a small box of outwell returns/damaged stuff.

Loving a bargain I headed straight for it. Got a damaged blue heaven windbreak - been looking for one for ages to match the tent. £34.99 to £15

Also got a damaged outwell tent light £23.50 to £5

and a boxed outwell 240/12v coolbox with the fan not working £55 to £10 

Got home - the windbreak had a spike missing - cut a tent peg and glued it in the hole - 5 minutes and done!

The lamp had a bulb missing - got one out of the cupboard - now 100% a1 condition

and best of all - got my screwdrivers, multimeter and soldering iron out to fix it. Plugged it in - nothing wrong with it - it is brand new and working perfectly!!!!

£113 worth of outwell gear for £30 and it is all like new!!

Proper chuffed as they say

Now look 'ere Vti2007 - why did you have to mention the exhibition at Middle Farm? I just popped over to my mate's house to pick up the trailer that I'm using for a few days. Now he lives near Lewes, which of course is not far from where I live just south of Falmer, and it's only a similar distance again to Middle Farm. I said goodbye to Mrs M and told her I would be back in half an hour, but then ended up taking 2 hours by the time I picked up trailer and ended up at Middle Farm.

Anyway....I got a couple of decent bargains - we were after a couple of self-inflating mats and I managed to get the last two full size singles that were on offer at £9.99 each. I also grabbed a £17.99 3/4 self-inflating mat in my favourite colour (the ol' military olive green).

Going camping tomorrow.Checked weather yesterday and it predicted light rain. Spoke to mate today and he said forecast is for hot and dry all week. Spoke to fella at the Yeomans exhibition and he said the forecast was for heavy rain with 25mph winds! If the trip turns into a big wet farce I think it might be the last time I get Mrs M in a tent!
