    The sundowners

    Thought this watercolour really suited the great outdoors. It is from an exhibition by Christopher Clarke antiques. http://www.campaignfurniture.com I have no connection other than I am on their mailing list and if I had a spare £1000 I would buy the painting.

    Is Renault a reincarnation?

    I came across this picture and I had a double take I thought it was Renault and a link to this forum but no it is Horace Kephart although I still think it is Camp Ironsights. :-) You see Bob you have such style that I just expected this to be you, although you cut a more dashing pose...

    Cornwall camp

    Not quite Renault's camp but a snap of the yurt I stayed in, with my campaign chairs. It had a small windy smithy cast iron stove in there, if we go next summer I think I may take some sheepskin rugs to sleep/sit on.

    Just a quick head's up for UK members. Debenhams have a sale and free delivery on and I have just got a Osborne wool fedora for £18.20. Okay, I know it's not super quality and not felt but as a "rough and ready" hat I think it's okay...

    Help and ideas wanted

    Good day fellow adventurers. I seek advice and ideas for a small aesthetic issue I have. I bought a side/bum/fanny bag in China, while not vintage I thought it fitted my adventure gear quite well. However, it has a hideous, plastic buckle that I find spoils the look. I intend to replace...

    Well chaps, I have managed to upload my Akubra Safari, in Tawny Brown, size 60. The pinch is tighter than when I brought it, as I like it that, also I have used (naughty, naughty) the pinch to remove the hat from my head quite a bit.
