Perkil8r Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Fantastic new door mat for the star party tent. Will post a review when I've got over the excitement of it all. Smithysteve, Bottletopburly, tuckstar and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have door mat envy So much better then mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I couldn't resist sharing your excitement Mike, and can confirm that this is a superb and fully featured door mat. Never has a door matt performed so flawlessly for so long. We've had no serious problems with ours over the last 20 years and would never want to part with it. I just can't emphasise enough how these mats can enhance your life for the better. I'm surprised that you haven't had people offering to swap you a big Nagler or Ethos for it. You have an incredible investment there and I hope it makes you as happy as ours has made us. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 That mat is everything you could would wish for and if not you can hang it on a wall and store all your 17mm nuts in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 seriously i need a door mat like that not joking lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 In all seriousness it is a great purchase. I had realised I had left my mat at home and I was tramping mud, grass and water in to the tent. Went into the town with the intention to buy a cheap carpet type one. This is so much better, it really gets the crud off before going in and doesn't hod the moisture. £3.99 well spent I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Still putting my mat through its paces here in Kelling, will post a pic when I am back. I concur with Mike's view that these are indeed good mats. I look forward to your review Mike, I may even post my first foot impressions of this great piece of kit as well.

philjay Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Back home after giving the new mat a good testing at Kelling and I am pleased to say that it fulfilled all that was expected of it and never put a foot wrong even during last nights rain. Money well spent I reckon, this piece of kit will be accompanying me on more trips in future. Here is a shot of it in action. Perkil8r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 They are just works of art. I wanted one, but I don't think I am mature enough to be able to cope with the correct operation of one. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 A mat is for life not just for Kelling. I've heard that some people really maltreat them, even stamping or jumping on them! So sad. philjay and BAZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Well I am pleased to say that the journey home had no detrimental effect on my mat. It is now safely homed in the man cave. First impressions are very good. As Phil has also found, mine never faltered in use. Underfoot it felt very secure and performed brilliantly in removing crud from my size 9's. My only regret is having not purchased another. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Pete if you see someone maltreating their mat contact the RSPRM (Royal Society for the Protection of Rubber Mats) Tweedledee, tuckstar and BAZ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithysteve Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just fetched a second hand 7 yrs old Meade Lightbridge 16" from the Lake District it needs a bit of tender love and care - possibly a new rocker box etc. So will be studying Kim's posts on rocker box build again! . This will be a nice little project for me - got it for a song though, with a shroud, Orion optics 90 deg correct image spotter etc, so I am very excited about this! Making lists now... already sorted out my lenses spreadsheet giving me magnification and TFOV etc BAZ, tuckstar, Brantuk and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be Looking at your posts on this for sure Mick! i remember very well some of your comments and stories from the great times you spent with your 16" dob. It was inspirational stuff.

Must admit I was a bit worried about it fitting in the car Rob, but it was not a problem - the scope breaks down very well, so looking forward to getting out and about with it. I was also worried about lifting it, but again found I could manage it ok ? Cheers all, it's all very exciting!!! Brantuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
