http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/army-surplus-uk/army-miscellaneous/new-army-camouflage-woodland-336368.html - I think that would be ok... but note that I havent used that item nor that company...

I use a DD 3 x 3 tarp but its like £30

They had some camo tarps in a surplus shop in Grantham on saturday, they were at 20 quid, and proper stuff with webbing points. Find yerself a military surplus shop that doesn't have ideas (and prices) above its station. I don't think you'll find owt for less than 20 beer tokens, I paid 20 for my thin lightweight one. Any carboot sales north of the border?

They don't get much cheaper or more waterproof than these. Clicky :) (http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?isSearch=true&fh_search=tarpaulin)

Interesting that no one has commented on the B&Q tarps. NaturalBushcraft meets have often been conducted under a huge one of these. They are brilliant for the money and do exactly what they are supposed to.

Yes Martin but they are 'blue' and don't go with our country green's....!

I bought two tarps from here...same link as Matt highligted. They are very good value, camo one side and green on the other and match my jacket and trusers. I would recomend.

I get discount at Jewson though, having worked for them I know how little those companies pay for tarps. handy bargaining tool
