    New tent has arrived

    Back in February I posted about needing a new tent and that I'd bought a Khyam Biker Plus SE at the camping show. Fair play to Khyam, it arrived when they said it would and I'd been waiting for a fine weekend to have a trial run at getting the thing up. I bought it as Khyam make a great play about the tent being able …

    Android phone driving me nuts

    I've mentioned elsewhere that I tend to buy my phones outright rather than have them on contract. For the last 18 months or so I've been running a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro - a beast of a phone with great specs for the price. It has everything I need, dual sim, SDCard support, a decent camera array and a mahoosive …

    Do I need a drone?

    Lately I've been watching a lot of amateur travel vlogs on youtube and most of them obviously have use of a drone for those arty aerial shots. This got me googling and naturally it seems the market leaders are the various drones from DJI. Further googling led me to the various requirements you need to have in place to …

    New tent

    My trusty Vango Gamma recently bit the dust and to be honest, I'm getting a bit old to be on my knees all the time, so I was on the hunt for a new tent. I have simple requirements: I can stand up in it, either very nearly or fully I can put it up on my own It must have a bedroom big enough for my campbed (told you I …

    New website

    Hugo, who is Hugo? For the last ten years or so I've been using joomla and wordpress for my website creation tools, depending on the requirements. Joomla is great but overkill for a simple blog whereas wordpress just seems like a magnet for hackers. My last blog was wordpress based and had been creaking along for about …

    We finally got them initiated!

    Yesterday we finally managed to initiate Bro Steve and Bro Craig. The lodge interviewed them back in November 2019 so they have had a long wait. As it was, we had to arrange an extra meeting under dispensation to get them in, we didn't want to make them wait any longer. It's great to finally have them in as members and …

    New phone sim needed

    A few years ago we ditched the 'phone with a contract thing' and decided we'd just buy a handset and go sim only. We don't need all-singing all-dancing phones and, having investigated, the batch of phones around the £200 mark are more than adequate for our needs. If we get 2-3 years out them then it's all good. Through …

    Shropshire 2021

    In and out of lockdown was doing my head in and I needed a break from work so decided on a bit of camping with my sisters. We're scattered across the country so we looked for somewhere that was fairly equidistant for all of us and Shropshire was it. Specifically Little Stretton as it promised some great walking being …

    We're back!

    Since HM Govt announced the timeline for the easing of restrictions back in April (or whenever it was) we've been planning our much delayed installation meeting (where we install our new Worshipful Master). Due to UGLE's obscure rules we had to apply for a dispensation to move the date and time of the meeting and we …

    Cloudflare for teams - securing my DNS further

    I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm a fan of cloudflare's services and recently came across their teams service. The thing I like about cloudflare's services is they always tend to offer a free tier aimed at smaller networks and/or startups. These free services are ideal for home networks so game on! Their teams services …
