There’s 3 main properties of a sleeping bag that people want – low temperature, low weight / small size and low price. You can have 2 so you need to decide what your priorities are. At the cheaper end of the market manufacturers tend to exaggerate the temperature. Stick to the recommendations and their temps should be more realistic.
Only way to find out if your mates bag is suitable is to try it out. Sleep in the garden with it and see if it squashes down enough.
You’ll only need 40-50L tops. Using a proper rucksack will be far more pleasant for a 20mile cycle and should be waterproof enough if you’ve got stuff in drybags as well. Have a look at Deuter, Osprey, Lowe Alpine and Berghaus.
Ask them to confirm that they personally are denying you your legal / statutory rights under the consumer rights act 2015 ( or whatever it’s correct name is). You should get escalated up the chain to someone who knows what you’re talking about.
The other option is to go straight to their legal department – they should know what they’re talking about and instruct customer services to do the right thing.
It’s going to take a heck of a long time for that size joint to defrost and get warm enough for bacteria to start respiring fast enough to produce toxins. Stop worrying about it until your powers been off for 3days. If its vacuum packed as well it’s even less likely to start going off.
Think there’s a lot of confusion caused by the fact that M+S rated tyres are not always winter tyres. Winter tyres are 3 peak mountain snowflake rated.
There’s long queues in the peel and there were long queues in the hub because the serving counter in both is/was too small for the number of customers. It’s pretty much the same size in the peel as it was in the hub.
The FC ballsed up the development in such a way that makes it difficult for any operator to be significantly better than the current set up. Although making cakes as good as the hubs rather than the bought in stuff they have at the moment would help a lot.
If you’re after WW rafting then you’ll be on the Tummel near Pitlochry (numerous companies) or the Garry which is a long way north in the Great Glen.
If you want someone to organise everything for you have a google for Tayler Made Adventure. They’ll be able to organise any combo of outdoor activity you want.
For a successful insurance claim you’d need to show that the roof damage is due to a insured event (storm) and not due to wear and tear / poor maintenance / neglect.
Buy some waterglass off amazon/eBay. Use colour crystals (from a kids science/chemistry set) as seed crystals. Add to a jam jar and watch the crystals grow. Check google for a protocol – you may need to dilute the waterglass.
Been with them 8 months. Changeover from BT was smooth and hassle free. Broadband works, phone line works, bills are correct and they take the right amount of money by dd each month. Can’t complain.
Make sure your shoes have a good knobbly tread. Had to fish a Toughmudder with a broken leg out of a river after he slipped down a greasy river bank due to his smooth soled Nike fashion shoes
They don’t use emails. Customer phones South Africa, South Africa phone store responsible for delivery and home shopping manager / section leaders try to make sense of what they’re being told. If they can’t they say sod it and the complaint doesn’t get resolved!!
