Its definitely quieter now since Covid, especially Hightown. But can still be busy over the weekends.
I'm not sure on stock, they have had a couple of stockings but not massive numbers.

The latest Korda podcast with Nick Dunn would be worth listening to as he mentions the stock on Half Pit

I've got the small carryall. I think it's very good, perfect for what I want. The best bit is the carry strap is removable which a lot of others don't.

Planning on getting rod holdall to match.

Looking to move to a pod instead of my usual bank sticks as the lake I'm now fishing is a nightmare with sticks.

Love the idea of a light weight aluminium pod but are they prone to being pulled over or moving? I'm thinking I'll need the weight of the stainless to hold it in place.

I don't really want to have to anchor it as it would defeat the point of moving away from sticks.

Thoughts?

Anyone know if you can get spare magnets from the Korda tackle box?

I have one but could do with 1/2 more for different length rigs.

Concept wise they work. I have an Oval system and a Fast and light brolly and the beds do tuck into the back of the brolly well. Coupled with the thinner ends of the bed it means that everything is under cover. I found with my old benchmark (standard width) the ends of the bed got wet in a light shower and you're sat much further forward which I didn't like.

Comfort wise like Spod said there is more sag in the middle and I do prefer a firm bed, especially just for sitting on.

I've just ordered a 2 man tent to take my lad along and a new benchmark and he'll definitely be sleeping on the Oval!

I'm think along the same lines about a 2 man bivvy to take my lad and like the look of the SLX.

Is there much difference in size between the 2 man and the plus?

Is the 2 man plenty bi enough for 2 bedchairs?

I have a pair of mk1 2.25lbers. Lovely for light fishing.
