The Alpkit National CoLAB Design Award is now in its final phase, and the contestants are now busy in their sheds fine tuning their designs, ready for the final at The Ordnance Survey Outdoors Show.

Despite its modest profile, the event is proving to be one of the most popular events at the show. Colin and Nick Alpkit present the finalists including a double finalist Liz Asquith (aka Wingnut on the UKC forums)

Yup, well done to all the contestants, tried to come up with stuff myself but don't think using copious amounts of zip ties and gaffa would impress the judges much...

Especially interested in the wwhiteout torch idea, curious to see how well it would work.

Congrats again folks.

Congratulations to Captain Paranoia for winning with his Squeezebox stove. Blooming brilliant!

Commiserations, Wingnut. Now get marketing that Jamulator...! C-:

Thanks

Great to see you, Mita and the others. Apologies for 'peck on cheek' ending up in your ear; I'll getting the hang of this luvvie air-kissing one day...


Indeed. It certainly deserved to come in the top three, and really ought to make it to production. Not enough climbers at the OS, and too many 'safety'conscious' punters who didn't spot the fundamental flaw in the 'SOS mat' idea.

In reply to captain paranoia:

So is the squeezebox going into production?

Congratulations too BTW, if you can make meths stoves worth buying you will be a minor miracle worker.

In reply to UKC Articles: Well done Cap'n.

I spent all Sunday making meths stoves after talking to you
