Title: Camping stuff at lidl
Post by: kmck on April 25, 2010, 11:51:43
Okay on thursday lidl are doing camping gear, I would recomend the smanga it is a fake trangia but perfect if you are going camping. Also today Aldi are doing camping gear as well and some good stuff there as well.

Cool, I might pick up an air mattress on Thursday and try pick up a few bits today from Aldi. Would it be worth picking up an outdoor cooking pot set for the alps or have we enough cooking bits?

I think we'll need quite big pots for 10 of us.

How big are Eoghan's stove?

Didn't look at the dimensions, they're pretty small alright. He doesn't have the big one any more but I think he said he had another two which should do.

yeah 2 petrol stoves. I crawled around the attic for them, measured the diameter of the first one i found, with my hand, I've just found a ruler so i'm saying the diameter of the stove is 10-12cm.(i actually laughed at myself)  :)

 so yeah really it can take pretty much any pot. Unless were bringing some huge heavy thing! i'll throw it in my gear bag on wednesday

and i'm fairly sure theres not much difference in size between the two stoves...

We'll see, it'll depend on car space and stuff as well
