    Anyone know the craic with the new store going into Gladstone Street? It's called Map and Compass and is down as a specialist outdoor store. Are the lads from Altitude involved in anyway?

    I think it may be going into the place where Impact used to be but the sign is not really clear. I can't remember the opening date but it's in July sometime.

    Cheers.

    Maybe KRM have opened it up as competition to the shop in Newgate Street.

    Try and drive out the opposition to the shopping centre.

    That will only leave The WCTU and Brendan "Paisley" McCann.

    Where could I get a decent airbed and travel towel?
    I checked the army shop and Argos today but wasn't to happy with selection.

    they had nothing in roches/dunnes/guineys.

    would this shop have that sort of outdoor stuff?

    Depends on what kind of airbed, the one I use when hiking is a Thermarest, quite expensive but worth their weight in gold.
    Altitude in Ballybricken do that make. They also do travel towels.

    right would that be confortable enough for indoors?
    well I need to get one for an 8 week tour of America,
    the problem is I sprained my back 5 weeks ago and its only coming around again now, so I want one with good support.

    I have a fairly crap back myself and it does me fine.

    If you're in your own car I'd get one of the big fancier inflatable ones from Dunnes or Tesco as you won't be stuck for space, if on the other hand you're carrying it about I'd go for the Thermarest, they're also inflatable but very thin and light.

    Anyway, I passed the shop last night and it's open tomorrow, they had some stock on the shelves and hangers but it still looked like a building site.

    Any airbed will do the secret is to blow it up more than you think it needs, cos when you lay down on it it will disperse the air and your back with touch the ground... with surplus air you will find it better...

    I learned that lesson at electric picnic 2 years ago....
