Richard,
Get yourself some carp mags,(they're NOT the ones under Dad's bed),and 'shop' around!
There are so many bargains about it's unreal.For under £100 you can get a decent enough bivvy.The Giant one has plenty of features for example.
When you get into the swing of night and/or session fishing you can upgrade..........big words coming from someone who's first bivvy's a Viper I know,but I got lucky,before the fact's pointed out!
The Leeda dome,£69.99.......Cypry dome,£70.00...etc..

I thought you were going to the sale at Thorpe Park. There were plenty there from £50 upwards. Why not contact the bivvy hospital and see what they have got to offer. The old style Limpets certainly looked good. Alternatively look at the adverts as Smarts has suggested. I have seen loads of basic ones from £59.99 upwards advertised in Total Carp ( page 3 of the March issue for example). They are made for Keenets and available from all their stockists.

[fatboy]

How about going for a retro look? as I still have one of the old canvas brolly camps!!! /images/forum/icons/laugh.gif/images/forum/icons/laugh.gif

[Richard]

what the hell is that fatboy

[loki]

Me too! Is everyone gonna laugh at me? Sod it, who cares.

[james]

Hi,

Also what are you going on about fatboy?

James

[Smarts]

They wouldn't even be able to lift one of those,Fatboy!!

Smarts

[fatboy]

So you youngsters have never lived /images/forum/icons/laugh.gif, but Loki you are only 2 years younger then me so I thought you might know!!/images/forum/icons/wink.gif

Guess I'm showing my age here, but here goes.

Put up a standard brolly (parasol at the pub style ie not angled or anything). The sling the brolly camp (which is a large circle of canvas) over the brolly to form a "quaint green igloo shaped structure" which is secured around the circumference of the canvas with tent pegs. They were the DB's at the time and had a zip up opening!!!!!!!

And Smarts, you are dead right they probably could'nt lift one of them. No tackle barrows in those days.

When I were young, I would walk for miles with the all me gear slung over me shoulder blah blah......

Hi,

I understand now.

James

[loki]

Of course I know fatboy! I've just given mine a coat of fabsil sealant for the new season!

Actually it isn't that heavy (or I'm just sooo strong, lol) and is less bulky than a bivvy + bits & bobs. Youngsters today eh? no stamina!

[scorpio]

You forgot to mention that they always leaked at the seams when it rained /images/forum/icons/smile.gif

[Boo]

But when we were young it never rained! At least I can't remember it raining. The sky was always blue and the fish always queud up to get on the hook...............

[fatboy]
