Looking at going to a sporting event which involves sitting in steep banks. Are there any camping chairs out there but for this? Can you adjust the legs of camping chairs??? Tia x

Long time lurker, very rare poster, popping in just because I happen to know a good answer for this - the only bad news is that it's a bit (a lot) pricey...

Have a look at the "Alite Monarch" or "Alite Mayfly" - they're similar to the Helinox backpacking chairs (or their many clones) that you may have heard of. Low-slung very lightweight chairs for backpackers, the Monarch actually only has 2 feet, and is designed to be 'rocked' in... the Mayfly is similar but has the advantage that it has a front foot so can be stable when the ground is flat. The key is that they are both comfy to use when only their back feet are on the ground, so ideal for chilling out on a hill. Plenty comfy too, imho at least (I have a Mayfly) with the advantage that they pack to about the size of a 1 litre water bottle and under 1kg.

The bad news though... £50+ for a Monarch, and even more for a Mayfly. So probably a bit much for one sporting event (unless you're pretty flush.... who knows...). If you might get use elsewhere though - backpacking/camping/whatever, they're a great bit of kit.

Yep fishing chairs. Made for sloping uneven ground and very strong and comfortable.

Sitting on the bank at Spa racetrack in Begium- a combination of rocks to raise the front legs of and a folding shovel to dig out the back legs of a camping chair worked a treat!!
