Hi Folks, just got back from NEC OutDoor Show, most disappointed recession has certainly hit a lot of Exhibitors, or the NEC cost's to display a stand. Didn't even buy anything, the only thing that might be of interest to you all is the Bell Tent Stand, very impressed with the range and believe it or not The Price, compared to the Tentipi, The link is :- http://www.belltent.co.uk Tel; 07830-355-993 Email info@belltent.co.uk.

No, NO I didn't even buy a cooker, Honest.





A couple of Heroes of mine, well I certainly admire them anyway.

Best Regards Bill

Quite agree Bill, I went on Friday and was pretty disappointed with the show.

My main reason to go has always been the Endless River stand and I was able to get a kneeling thwart this year.

Cheers

Hi Jon, nice to hear from you mate, hope this finds you in good health, The Show, the Endless River Stand was up to the mark, good job, as BrookBank were very poor, was looking at paddles on Endless River very nice and very expensive, was the Kneeling Thwart you purchased the Safety one, in that in the case of entrapment it supposedly one side disengages ??
Best Regards Bill

Hi Bill,

No it is just a standard one although I think you could make into a safety one with some velcro straps and making some ledges from the excess wood to stick out from the angled hangars.

Took us awhile to find the Brookbank stand, actually thought they had decided not to attend.

Liked browsing around the Bison bushcraft, Nordic Outdoors and Springfield stands but that was about it.

Cheers

Jon

I was disapointed last year and more disapointed this year. Just glad that I did not pay to get in
