Thanks yonny I will have a look at those I think, I quite liked the look of the tactical as you can get in big boy version as well and it's still fairly light

The lightest one they do (the BaseCamp) is actually the Wychwood Tactical with a different label. Decent bedchair - I use the Wychwood version.

Another good tip. The fold up camping chairs, they slide into a quiver holdal no problem. I Got a military surplus one off eBay for 12.99. It's actually more comfy than any other fishing chair I've had. You just need a very even surface. On slopes they are no good. Frees up a hand to carry something else if needed.
