I've started running recently and as a big lad suffer pretty severe shin splints. The best treatment I have found for it so far is a cheap tube of morrisons muscle rub, smells pretty much the same as deep heat, but you have to be a little generous with it and it takes a while to actually start...

For some reason I hadnt come across those when I googled orginally, must have been having a really stupid day :p Oakley wood seems to be well visited judging from the bivis someones tried to build: http://jtbutcher.imgur.com/oakley_wood_130211

Does anyone know of any easy access wooded areas around warwick and leamington with public access or that permission can be obtained? I was going to have a look at oakley wood but am not aware of much else in the area. Thanks :) Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk

Originally I was seeking advice on whether it was actually good to keep (see http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67527) I wasn't sure if it was a duff knife seeing as I paid a few quid for it when I was 12 or 13, it had never had an edge on it till the other day. I decided I would...
