    Auctioning a Winter Moot ticket for Charity

    Haversack/Day bag

    I found a mint condition 1937 pattern British Army "Small Pack" haversack in a Charity Shop for about a fiver - unrivaled value for money! I also use a DD bumbag thing that comes with their rucksack very comfortable for less bulky loads.

    Outstanding Goals/experiences for 2024

    Five or so years ago I was told that I needed new hips and knees - took myself off the list after I found that losing 7 1/2 stone in weight and doing 3-4 hours physio exercise per day (plus trying to walk a minimum of 3 miles a day) keeps me out of pain. I am too old to recover from all that...
