    New Mens Sorel Caribou Boots - Size 9

    They look impressive, too small for me though. I presume the weight is 964g per boot, so 1928g total?

    Sloes...where are they?

    The frost is supposed to make them less bitter. Yes, freezers will do the job. I got enough for my needs - just!

    Sloes...where are they?

    I did see lots in the Berwyn hills a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they've gone in the warmer parts of the country.

    Sloes...where are they?

    Went sloe hunting last weekend and my favourite spots were almost devoid of them. I'm sure they were plentiful in the same area this time last year. Anyone noticed how quickly they've gone over? And you're supposed to wait for the first frosts, ha!
