Anyone got any good ideas for finger training while away from home without access to a fingerboard? After something small and reasonably transportable, hanging fingerboards seem to be popular but I don't have one, any ideas or techniques that people are already using?

Rock rings..

But when I've been away I've used various combos of door frames and air conditioning vents in hotel rooms to hang from - often using a chair put a distance back for feet. And most core exercises require no apparatus. Sometimes I think trips away are an excuse to rest fingers and work on more general fitness - ie go swimming which I never do outside..

Sorry.
Jokes apart, you don't need door frames or other things to hang from, in my opinion a table is much better.
You sit under the table, crimp the edge, pull up and lock off in an L-seat position.
Fingers and body.
Or you place a chair on the other side, put one or two feet on, then do one or two armed pull ups while crimping the edge of the table.

Thanks, that could work, would have to do it in my lunch break at work as I'm camping and don't have a table at the camp site. Obviously gonna try climb as much as possible but when the weather is shit (very likely while in Wales) I would like to try get some gains without the long drive and expense of going to the beacon wall.

Otherwise, it's very easy to build a portable micro fingerboard to be hung from a tree branch. It's even easier to buy The Wedge.

May I direct you towards a new board I've brought out but only a few hours ago...  !

As an ex-regular traveller, Rock Rings worked surprisingly well - I'm sure a wooden version like the Wedge or the Slave would be great too (and friendlier on the skin). That said, wood handles humidity worse than resin in my experience, so that might factor into your decision.
