I already have a chair like the Tesco ones, despite the 100kg max weight it
holds my 16+ stone frame quite well. The cup holder takes cans, beer bottles
and small wine bottles and straight pint glasses.
And no, I'm not tempted by the cheapo tents, just maybe the blankets.

I assume the '100Kg max weight' includes some element of 'arriving in it
with considerable speed/force'. Under static load (i.e. if you sit down
=carefully=) it should do much better. There is also the usual
'over-designed by 50%' effect, unless someone was using the latest CAD
tools.

Almost all.

I'm intending to make it a bit more of a pleasure - going to work in
the Dales after my hols. Should be interesting.

Coal was dirty and horrible. You'd be much wiser drawing dole.

A can of "Old Speckled Hen" won't fit the hole in the arm :-(

Small bottles of lager will though.
