Thanks its all good now though big smile
its been a year now ( 1.2.21 ) been either in hospital or house bound
and 2 weeks ago they said im in remission but will remain on chemotherapy a maintenance dose weekly at the moment but should reduce to maybe monthly as I improve for the rest of my life
my spinal damage is sadly permanent so Im now disabled and got a blue badge good news is I can park behind my swim when I get my strength back aiming to try and be on the bank by June 16th
I feel very lucky and so grateful for our dedicated NHS workers there are so many people that never had the privilege of living this long so I will never ever complain I am one of the lucky ones

UPDATE UPDATE Solar bed chair CH08
ITS ARRIVED
first impressions wow is this the best bed chair I have ever bought ? and trust me I have owned bed chairs since the mid 60s starting with argos and every make and most models since then
Fedex delivered it at 07.25 this morning first thing I loved was the Spring-Loc, one-touch leg adjustment it made me jump lol pressed the catch and the leg springs out at a rate of knots very handy
next the legs swing and snap into place in a plastic holder so they are not going to accidently fold up on you very easily
its wider than I imagined (205 × 80 × 36cm) or 31"
but the greatest thing that my pal is going to be delighted with is the max height as stated 50cm or 19 1/2inches
I weighed it on a very accurate set of scales and its 10.1kg so thats about right too
now let me tell you what a test !!!
good to sit on on not any bad sagging at all ........but I 100% always use a bedchair buddy and loved the height so easy to get on and off thought I would lay down on it lovely and firm it was now 08.15 and I woke up at 09.40 with the chemist delivering some pill or maybe I would still be asleep now
being nice and firm it was and high it was easy to get up from
I am now placing and order for one for myself as I am over the moon with this
and be selling my mint ELS original and my Wychwood compact as I cant see me ever using them again

Great that you like the CH08, it is an outsider in the price range under 250, with build quality even better than much more expensive beds.
The CH08 is somewhat forgotten because of the Sp-C-tech range which is also Top but a lot more expensive and heavier
Hopefully the new undercover pro (sleep system) is also as good.

How do you think it compares to the Trakker ELS you used to rave about?

still got the ELS but its a bit too big and not high enough
this is the same lovely firm bed that I need for my bad back feels just like the ELS
and of course my Mountain Equipment Helium 3.8 SIM fits perfect just the same so got the extra insulation and comfort

That's good enough for me.
I was interested in how firm it was, the height is a bonus.

Firstly and most importantly Gerry, great news about your remission. Having lost my dad last November to an offshoot of cancer/Leukaemia, it puts EVERYTHING into perspective - so I hope you enjoy every day of your next life 👏
After your review of this bedchair, I unfortunately feel there is now way I cannot buy one.
Keep going, the forum needs you 💪

Thanks Mart
sorry to hear about your dad mate its a real kick in the guts
I seem to be losing so many mates and relations to Cancer terrible disease back to the bedchair I am so impressed with the quality Solar really do make quality products not that I have one but everyone raves about their chairs too and I recently bought the Solar undercover Brolly system too
not used it yet but put it up in the garden and its terrific its an unusual size but to me the perfect footprint when swims are a bit tight I used to like big shelters but now prefer the more compact ones with a good height thats more important to me
I hope by June 16 I will be fit enough to be back on the bank with my new bedchair and shelter and it wont matter at all if I catch or not ( but I never ever blank I just run out of time )

Gerry if we get to June and you want to fish but don't feel up to the drive etc. Drop me a PM. I will happily load your gear into my van and drop you down the lake.
