Selling this fantastic Cattyshack catapult frame. One of the first decent frames I ever bought. brilliant, accurate set up. one unfortunate fork hit which doesn’t affect use at all.

I’ll throw in some extra bands and a handful of 9.5mm ammo. £50 posted. Uk only ..read more

Hi all!
I am struggling with fire-setting in my small kelly kettle. The space to build the fire is about palm sized, and 1.5 inches deep.

We paddle local rivers, generally slow moving. Mostly we're just touring around. The odd lake every now and then. We use a good quality 2 person inflatable (adventure...

Well the vote is in for the April heat and we've been left with a tie between Brancho and Broch for first place.
So here's the two pictures you've got to pick a winner from.
The poll will run for 3 days and you'll have just one vote which, once cast, can't be changed. If there's still a tie at the end of the vote then I'll pick the winner by using a random method of selection.
Here's the two contenders
