Nice catch there, Mr. K; I was sorely tempted but my fishing days are, alas, in the past.

Recently reacquired a Baikal Makarov, top fun

Any danger of a picture Nice?

 

[snappingturtle]

Not the anvil but the stand wood £20 with both cuts paralleled.

 

[Juha]

Got a really really nice, almost new Berghaus Munro for 10€

My apologies, completely missed your post. Yes of course, I’ll take a piccy when home.

Here you go. Top is a Webley Nemesis, ridiculously accurate destroyer of Extra Stong Mints, then the Makarov. Joined by the excellent fun Swiss Arms P92 blowback pistol (interesting auto mod available for this one, but not at all legal in this country unfortunately). I’d love to do it, but I’m not about to have a Section 5 firearm in my house. Does look mad fun though Google Swiss Arms P92 auto mod, Replica Airguns channel have a great video.

Lastly, the Rolls Royce of air pistols, and fitted with Hogue rubber grips, the Weihrauch HW45. Just the finest air pistol ever made.

Wow mint nemesis! and agreed accuracy is awesome with them, wish I still had mine and the HW45's are just the top! hence why I have a black star, I'm not so keen on the replica CO2's to much like the real thing (I might change my mine on them one day as they look at least to be well made), but air pistol have been emulating that for some time so to have a good pistol you have to go with the trend, thanks for posting a very nice collection!

Had a birthday recently and had a haul of amazon vouchers amounting to 150 quid. Got 37 quid left after buying a German forces 100L rucksack (should have come on here for advice really), a ruggedised solar powered power bank (you can never have too many power banks) and a few other bits and bobs.
Much to my disgust I actually had to buy some Arctic warfare socks, none of my contacts can get them at the moment and I'm down to my last pair.

Just need a chance to get out and play with them now.

Tilley T3 Wanderer hat, very comfortable indeed !

Tilley T3 Wanderer hat, very comfortable indeed !

Aww, don’t. I’m sorely tempted, but really need to sell my stove to justify it.

Did you go a size up as recommended?

 

[ejtrent]

I got a T3 Tilley the other day, olive standard ray mears type version, I would usually size maybe 7 3/4 but took 8 (yes I have a big head) and its perfect!

A size up would have been an 8, but they don't make an 8 in the T3 Wanderer, so I took a chance and it fits fine (although not 'loose'). I'm now looking at the waxed cotton Tilley as well lol...

I was at the Yorkshire country game fair at the weekend and got an old hooded poncho which was in great condition for £10!!

I’ve buckled. One Wanderer on the way.

Tilley T3 Wanderer hat, very comfortable indeed !

Very much so. Got mine a couple of days ago on the offer, and very glad I did. By the time I got mine (thanks Hermes), it was raining. But I put it on anyway and went out with the dogs for a walk. It’ll not keep the rain out for long with natural wear of the fabric, but that’s not it’s design. It’s a comfortable hat for sun or light rain.

I’m glad of the offer price or I’d never have had a T3, even a Tilley hat at all.

This probably should be in "Fair Game" but those in the know will know this is very much rockinghorse poop:

And just to rub salt in the wound I had the good fortune to bag three tubs of it!

Summer is ecumen in. So, a few little starters: 10 litre drybag, a purple microfibre towel, .5L nalgene bottle, collapsible silicone bowl for the dog. Nearly bought a Rain bucket hat, but then saw the price If I hadn't already bought he bowl maybe I could have convinced myself to get the hat instead for killing two birds with

Then, when I got home I came accross this handy website. Very effective in providing suggestions for eating up my money.

Picked up a pair of Bushnell 8x42wa Birding series Bins for £2, they where in a box full of tat which had mould on it, they where filthy and for £2 they where worth a punt.
Stripped them down and cleaned them with camera cleaning gear, put them back together, fantastic clarity, the outside casing is a bit worn but for a grab and go set for the back of the van they are ideal.
