Having had such a great time in Spain last year we were all set to go again, then came Corona. So France and Spain off limits, we decided on Germany. Many changes of plan later we brought forward departure to late Sept to beat lockdown, and have been in Saxony ever since. We plan to move on to...

Bought one of these six months ago as its a cheaper alternative to the Filson but seems to be of similar quality ( nod to Wayland who originally reviewed this stuff ). This has rarely been off my back, only the hottest days really when I have not worn it. So, how has it held up ? Very well ! Its...

Flinty rock of some sort worked on sandstone with some quartzite in it, I think.

Went to the archaeology museum in Hitzacker ( on the Elbe in Lower Saxony ) today. Some chaps doing practical hands on research by trying to grind axe heads. The one in the picture is as the man admitted to big to be useable but they like a challenge. Had a good chat with them, one at least has...

I foolishly bought a blue full zip windproof top, XXL, worn twice as its too big........anyone want to swap a XL in any colour ?

My two pennorth...... I dont like tactical stuff because it makes me look like Joe SAS Wannabee, IMHO more likely to attract attention from Police, etc. I do nothing illegal, just dont want the hassle. No offence if thats your thing, just not me. also if you are Going Molle you add weight, if...

Stuff which has been bought, never or hardly used and sat in a drawer, its a crime. Someone else will use First up a Maxped pocket organiser, mint, £12 posted. Lovely leather pouch for Aloids tin, bought from someone on here with good intentions to use, never happened. £10 posted. Tactical...

Yeah but they’re both excellent, mine gets worn at home in the depths of snowy cold winter, the thinner ones are great hill wear.

I still have a double thickness HH with the thumb loops on sleeves, superb warm bit of kit. The single pile jackets are also classic, they are purely insulation, not windproof at all but excellent kit, lots of warmth for weight. Dry very fast in a breeze too. Used as intended still a bomb proof...

I just put a coat of Cuprinol on them, they won't last forever but they're well worth having.

Sorry, we will have to cancel, had a week away and the allotments need harvesting, painting to do, etc etc. Not very good at this retirement thing, but we will get better, hope to come along to the next meet in the New wood, y'all have a grand time !!
