I won't get started on the double edge shaving then, I have stuck with my Merkur HD. I did go through a phase of straight razor shaving and should dig those out of the drawer when there's more time to play with them. The Merkur is just that bit more convenient. Thanks for all the suggestions...

thank you. Your instagram has been giving me a nudge to try one :)

Thanks Glyn

A quick question to you pipe smokers, where does one start? What would be a reasonable budget pipe and tobacco if you just want to try pipe smoking? I gave up cigarettes over 30 years ago but the idea of sitting in the woods with a pipe has an appeal, I've just never smoked one or tried one. Thanks.

Not active very often but near Torrington.

Nearly new Altberg Mallerstang walking boots. Great 3-4 season (accepts flexi crampons) leather walking boots. Only been used half a dozen times, as you can see from the soles, and there's just a few light scuffs on them. Sadly, I just can't get on with the shape of them so they have to go. Size...

For sale are a Big Agnes King Solomon double down sleeping bag and 2 Exped Downmat 9 mats. These were bought to try and get my wife to come backpacking. She loved the idea and found this system comfy but has decided that backpacking just isn't for her. It's been used exactly twice so is...

Thanks very much for this. Downloaded and onto the tablet. That'll make train journeys much more interesting.

I've a utilikilt which is a fabulous thing. Not cheap, particularly when ordering from the UK but I had a friend bring one over for me from the US which saved a lot of money.

Lovely job on that chest, I always keep an eye out for something similar but only ever seem to see them at silly prices.
