Hello,

i was thinking of a two man tf gear force 8 bivvy but my mates one colapsed in the wind and he's set it up too many time to remember so its not like he did it wrong, anyway dont want to start a new thread about that, i am planning on buying the Wychwood Solace Advanced Peak With Overwrap
can anyone give any pros and cons of this bivvy 'cos i really like it.

thanks for any replys The Carp Mad Man.

CMM,

I am a fan of Wychwood products, this bivvy is fine, but there is a but. IMHO you would be better off going for the JRC STi, or take a look at the A-lite Bivvy or Speciman Armo in the Trekker range.

I haven't heard bad things about the Wychwood, but have about the TFG.

Good luck

I agree 100% with Ray...
DO NOT but TFG .... my experience....bought one,used once,placed in nearest skip.
This is true-did not even try to return the useless beast!

enjoy,
Mike W

CMM,
i have been asking around-a fishing friend (who used to work for work...still gets staff discount!) has a Cyfish Mk. 2 - 2 man ( mint condition ) for sale £100, also an overwrap, unused still packaged £50.
For £150 I consider this a steal-we live in Northumberland-Alnwick.
If you are interested reply and i will pass on telephone number-pm me.

Cheers,
Mike W.

Mike,

My garage was broken into when i was away working in West Brom. It happened in the middle of the day with the police about 50 yards away i that.

A neighbour told the Police, as the van drove off it almost knocked the copper over, false number plates, and my family were in the house at the time.

The police were there as 3 houses had been broken into during the night, and all had cars stolen off the drives, the neighbours were all in their beds when the breakins happened.

It wasnt just fishing tackle, golf clubs, tools and what ever else they could get their hands on.

Sorry Mike but i cant find £150 at the mo and my parents wont let me borrow it, fair enough, i wouldnt lend £150 to my son/daughter (if i had one!)
thanks for the kind offer, hope somone is lucky enough to buy it.

Ray Daywalker Clarke · May 17, 2011

Mike,

I dont think you have your PM turned on.

I think you go to user CP top left, and turn it on there, been so long since I did mine, but i think thats it.
