It's not always about the National Parks - 15mins in the car gets you this. People can say as many bad things about Bridgend County as they like, you will never convince me that it isn't a great base which is never far away from something magical ๐ฅฐ
We normally just take a tin of curry or a pasta n sauce sachet but Shelly bought me a really nice backpacking cookset for Christmas and I was dying to try it out so we picked something a bit more adventurous this time ๐
Part of the fun rather ๐
Shelly bought me a cool cookset with large saucepan, small frying pan and a kettle that holds enough water for two big coffees. I like the idea of a Ti pot & boil in the bag meals for a long hike but on these little overnighters we like to be a bit more adventurous. Camp cooking is part of the gun ๐
Yes it's the Fire Maple one. It's made of a very light alloy so it doesn't have the same quality feel as a brass Trangia but on the plus side it is lighter!

Yeah I went to that festival, it was shit

I've been saying this for years. Right-wing "moderates" are quick to distance themselves from right-wing extremism but *almost always* vote for it because for them, the Labour Party is always "worse".
Then they wonder why Nigel Farage is about to become their next Prime Minister ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Many happy returns to you and yours ๐
Merry Christmas to you and yours ๐
Heh ๐
i think it may blend between passive and active but I've never really looked into it. It sounds better fully on anyway!
The new TC rig sounds killer too ๐
It's a Squier Jag, if you look left of my left calf you'll see the sunburst one (backup).
It's a Precision Bass pickup configuration with 4 knobs, 3 big and one small. I think the 3 big ones are a volume for each pickup and a master tone control, but I can't figure out what the small knob does!
I don't want any relations tbh. Trump is a tyrant and the importation of US culture to the UK hasn't done us any favours.
Treat the US like the despotic nation that it is until they get an adult in charge ๐
Reform will win thr next UK GE anyway so Labour should do the right thing anyway. Better to be remembered for doing the right thing ultimately.
"Hey Harry, ever heard of Rekall?"
Nobody doubted it ๐
