Thank you all and thank you for the search links. I think - I’m going to keep it and use it, when they are old enough I will pass it on to the little one Thanks again all

I have a SWC Ray Mears Iroko handled knife brand new in the original box and I think the original invoice. Unfortunately I never got the chance to use it and it was put into storage. I now find myself at that point where stuff I no longer use will be better served moved on. I’m struggling...

I have seen this caravan - Its perfect for a garden den and sleepovers, extra house storage, horse paddock storage and tea facilities or just escaping the wife! I was going to use it for ad-hoc accommodation a few nights a month had i not lost the need so that must show you that i was happy...

I am taken with the old army (ww2) small pack in shoulder configuration and the Godfrey first aid bag of the same design

I heard (a while ago admittedly) there was a bad batch, i think it was the ones with the whiteish leather that the soles crumbled into sticky pieces

Unless my lack of full spin caused it to retain a fair amount of water - I didnt want to risk a 1400 spin with all that weight

Yep, a kingsize one on a low heat, if i recall to be fully dry took about 2 - 2.5 hours

I find that the commercial type dryers work fine as the paddles seem to give it a bit of a bash around - it may take a few hours though. If it is still slightly clumped a whack with a tennis racket while it is hanging on the line will help

Had a pair of Keen Targhee - Waterproof and totally brilliant - I wore them 12 hours a day for about 2 years, well worth the cash

I too have the same problem with AB, i take an 11 Lowas but 11 in AB pushed on the side of my little toes, i had to go up to a size 12 to relieve this but they came up slightly too big. I too stick with Lowas and have never had an issue with Gortex lining, but they are heavy. I was thinking...

I bought a DPM one with the added triangle, i dont have any issues getting in / out of my sleeping bag

What did you do with the jacket in the end?

Same as me!!

I have washed mine as above with no ill effects, i used normal washing powder though and it took 2 washes after the powder with just water as the suds seem to sit in the fibers as on a wool wash it appears to just gently agitate. I now wash it in the shower...... i just put it on and use normal...

I will take the shirts please . PM sent
