How can a tarpaulin realistically cost £100 when you can buy a similar product from Screwfix for a tenner http://www.screwfix.com/p/tough-trade-quality-reversible-tarpaulin-2-x-3m/74321#_=p ?

There will be a considerable difference in weight, bulk and durability - for the latter point read all the the bad reviews on Amazon about cheap tarpaulins. I've just bought one to spread in the back of my car when I'm taking garden waste to the council tip. I went for a "medium grade" rather than a "lightweight" one but when it arrived I was still surprised how thin it feels, although it is still heavy and it's impossible to fold it up very small.

On the other hand, I've had a pu-coated nylon tarp for years, it fits folded into a stuffsack of about 8.5 x 3 inches and weighs very little. My wife and I use it as a sun shade on Greek beaches with 4 fibreglass poles, guys and long v-pegs .

***Edit: Sorry folks, the offer is now CLOSED, someone applied within 5 minutes of me posting***

Daysack Rain Cover FREE - one only. First come first served.

The olive-colour rain cover I ordered for my new Vaude Jura 30 daysack was delivered yesterday, and I am now giving away the orange one that came with the sack, as I wrote on here on 04 August that I would http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=34937.msg501755#msg501755

It is 100% new and unused, and as illustrated below. The sack dimensions are 56 x 30 x 26 cm.

I will put it in a jiffy bag and send it to the first member who PMs me an address (just your username will do if you're shy about revealing your real name) at no cost to you whatsoever.

Lidl is offering a 20 litre rucksack complete with raincover this weekend for £9.99 https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=5502. It looks like it has a detachable mesh at the back which they suggest is for a cycle helmet but could be useful to keep a waterproof handy.

The seller has dropped the Buy It Now Price on these to £80 plus £6.50 1st Class Signed For Postage and is still asking for offers.

I've looked into this.
It's only a bargain if they have the 2 maps you want in the store.
An OL Explorer at £6.29 and a 2nd one for £3.15 = £9.44, which is £4.72 per map.
By comparison, I have just bought a new Explorer from Dash4it for £5.89 with free postage.

It's not a bargain if you order a map online to be delivered, when the postage charge is £3.29
So a £6.29 map + postage = £9.58,
or 2 maps at £6.29 + postage = £15.87, which is £7.94 per map.

But are they going to give you 30% off both maps in the store, or will it be one at 30% off and one at half the full price?
