Request: Wind-up alarm clock (The Camp AL1) Mine from a freegler has served reasonably well for a few years but less reliable now. Will cycle to collect weather permitting within about four miles around St Albans Easier if you give phone number. Thanks Doug

Free: Freestanding electric 3-bar fire (The Camp AL1) Not needed or used in about 30 years. Used to be OK but WARNING you probably need to replace the lead as it's badly frayed and could be dangerous. Dusty. About two foot square at front. Sorry I don't dare test it now, you should try outdoors. I'm on London road between St Albans and London Colney so if you drive this way I can wait till convenient or you could use bus stop 30 yards away. Prefer you don't drive far in case it's no good.

Free: Bike front wheels 26in (The Camp AL1) I have hoarded too many of these in case needed but taking too much space. Most from mountain bikes. Prefer that people don't drive here specially. On London road between St Albans and London Colney by a bus stop. Best to give a number to arrange viewing. Take one or several. Should be usable. No tyres, rim tapes or tubes offered but usually size 1.75 to 2in. Willing to wait till you are passing this way

Free: Front wheels for mountain bike (The Camp AL1) Not too bad but I've kept more than I am likely to need and they're in the way. I don't want people driving here to view but happy to let cyclists check whether suitable. I don't know how to measure the rim width etc but most are 26inch. No tubes, no tyres , sorry. If I have a phone number I can arrange more easily.

Request: Mains cassette player (The Camp AL1) Received Needs to be smallish to carry on bike and quite local 4 miles radius. My machines don't work now and I want to check which tapes to keep while trying to declutter my tiny property. Thanks for reading

Request: Single Mattress (The Camp AL1) Received My mattress needs replacing ASAP. Emmaus can't help at the moment. Problem would be that I need help transporting it to London Road as I don't drive. If you can help, a mobile number will speed up the process as I only check freegle once a day usually. Thanks Doug

Request: Hi viz jacket with long sleeves (The Camp AL1) Received I cycle for exercise and have used one for visibility but it's now slightly torn. A company logo doesn't matter as I can wear it inside out. Can collect by bike weather permitting within maybe 4 mile radius. If you give mobile number it speeds up communication. I check this site daily usually. Thanks for reading

Free: Clear hard plastic CD covers (The Camp AL1) Expired They could do with a rinse in some cases. About 100, take as many or as few as you want. I don't want collection by car but will leave by your house locally say 3 miles and when weather allows as I cycle for exercise and it helps reduce pollution etc

201d

Request: Superglue or similar for shoe (The Camp AL1) Expired I have footwear that fits very well but soles coming loose. Online search says I need something with elasticity and maybe epoxy glue but anything to save them from landfill. I can collect by bike locally and possibly Watford direction on 16th when I have to go there . Ideally give me a phone number to arrange by text please. Thanks Doug

Request: Air purifier (The Camp AL1) Expired Never had one but hope I could get it home on bike with rucksack and it's becoming a health issue not having one. Ideally please give phone number

Request: Small mobile for pay as you go (The Camp AL1) Expired I have tried to get a new battery in vain so far. I think the sim is the largest size. I will cycle over weather permitting. Please let me have your number for quick arrangements. The phone is for emergency like losing the smartphone Thanks.

Request: Old style Samsung battery (The Camp AL1) Expired I don't use ebay etc and I don't know how to post pictures but I can't get a replacement battery for my old emergency phone which folds over and is very small. If you have something that works and may be usable when charged, I could cycle over locally and see if it fits the phone. Local phone shops can't help. Needed when I have to call my main smartphone if mislaid. Please provide a number for quick contact Thanks.

Request: Telescopic roof rake (The Camp AL1) Expired Leaves gather on the roof of my ground floor property and I cannot easily get on the roof to stop leaks caused by these. I can't find anywhere to buy one locally without online purchase. I think 18 foot long is the kind of thing.
