you'd be friendlier than those Americans on BPL lol Naturally Hello! How is Tassie at the mo? watcha bankse and welcome mate.      Was in Tasmania January 2 years ago, and did the South Coast Track with my wife (we're both 55+ ). That was our first

years ago when deciding to start out with a bit more regular wild-camping and found it very useful.And no, it hasn't been updated for yonks, has it? If you like retro backpacking check out these woodstock ramblers in Tasmaina and the kit they used.http://www.david-noble.net/Tasmania

(can't remember the make), the largest pot - weighs 230gr and holds 1700ml to the brim - and a slightly smaller pot.  But this isn't big enough for a big meal for 3 (not 3 hungry mountain men ) so I want lighter and larger (21/2l+ ??). When in Tasmania

is Tasmania, it looks absolutely awesome... Try the Blue Mountains. Never been there myself but have seen pics. 2 odd hours (no idea why they're 'odd ones' maybe the trees are a funny colour or something) south west of Sydney. Walking, cycling, ski-ing, etc

I have been happy with my Pocket Rocket stove and titan mug/kettle thingy, till now.  Recently bought a white box stove to try out the meths alternative - which seem to be all the rage - as we are off for some long treks in Tasmania and NZ

and it was amazing!Showing again on Sunday 21st Feb at The Carriageworks Theatre, Millennium Square in Leeds.Includes the story behing Andrew McAuley who solo kayaked from Tasmania to New Zealand and another film exploring high adrenaline rivers throughout Africa

The Missus and I are off to Tasmania soon and doing a wilderness trek. She has a recurring shoulder injury, rotator cuff. Doc recommends she use an extra pad under her rucksack shoulder strap to spread the weight evenly and reduce pressure. A folded

bunt ends to trap bacteria and debris, which is what causes bad smells... watch this space. Ha ha! Brilliant, i brought a rainbow polypro base layer at the start of the year while i was in Tasmania, it has only been used as a lightweight jumper rather

've done a lot of independently travel in the past 14 years and am a regular hiker. Some of my longer trips include Everest Base camp trail, parts of the Peruvian Andes, lots of mainland Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. I'm a pretty organised person

heading to victoria and tasmania, there is some great looking granite and other crags there. Well I suppose they do have AC/DC, Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil and John Farnham. We only have one part of Crowded House and Hayley Westerna ;O) Have a good trip
