Well...9 degs this morning down here on the south west coast...and bright sun in one half of the sky....but with a very dark steel colour to the other half. We rarely get snow but have done for the last two years...It is weird standing on the beach in the snow though :) Sack

thanks for that...now got lapsang souchong all over my desk...:)

I know the speech, but with that editing...wow....my eyes leaked

Hi I had my seiko done by my local jeweller. they gave me the choice of their man doing it £30 or send away to seiko £45. so, new battery, new seal and pressure test £30. it will render any warranty null and void, but if your watch is over a few years old I would just ring round a few of your...

I hadn't really thought about it until I read this thread. What a great idea, my son thinks it's awesome...he's nine...but I think it's quite awesome too...(and I'm 49) I have signed up and having looked at our house, there are about 50 caches hidden within easy walking distance...one pretty...

For any of you that may be interested...especially with Christmas almost upon us, The Bushcraft Store has Vapalux Lanterns (M320) in stock BNIB £58.95 limited stock but they had 'em in at 02.00 this morning! I hope that this will be of interest to some of you...it was for me ;) ATB Sack

I once worked in Harrods for a holiday job (when the Crusades were in the news) and on Boxing day it was tradition for the directors to invite special guests to a shoot. The shoot was held in the depository which runs beneath South Kensington and all the way to beneath Hyde Park (at least as I...

At risk of being obvious...and not wishing to trample on the OP but if you are good, you will get automatic entry to the inner sanctum surely? ie you get out there and kick their arses...they will then want you ;) If you're not into the competitive side of shooting then I would probably venture...

Blimey...I thought there would be more action on this thread :) The prizes will be worth it...especially as we are all likely to be broke in the new year! Just have a few guesses...if it really is as hard as some of you think, then have a guess anyway...you may be surprised. As a hint... the...

I've been up twice, but each time the weather was glorious. If you take the carpark by the hostel as the start then a 49 yr old male with a bit of a beer gut managed Cryb Goch in about 5 - 5 1/2 hrs to summit + back by Miners Track ...say 7 hrs total. Pyg Track in about 4 hrs to summit and about...

Bit of a contrast to October! Glad you got down safely. Cheers Sack

Hi, Try the Templar Assault bag being sold by Trojan supplies. I have had 2 of these and they are very good bags for the money. They sit high, good build quality, have designated holder for bladders, twin ports (L/R) for comms/drink hose, internal lashing straps and external lashing straps...

I haven't got the Snugpak model but I do have 4 Berghaus Mules which are a similar design (ie with ruck style harness). I can testify to the usefulness of having the back carry option. Mine are no good for yomping 5 miles, but for being able to carry 320 litres (one on back and two in hands) for...

Well....I don't think I'd be giving too much away if I said it was a Rapala lure.....

LOL...Robbi don't forget that I'm issuing extra credit for the earlier entries :)

Hi Samon I use mine for undoing knots, especially when my hands are cold. Plus, you really never know when the need to make a good hole will crop up ;) Sack

Hey Sappy, you should have taken one of those sheepskins with you...that would have kept you warm

Entertaining on many levels. It's nice to see amusing musing ;) Cheers Sack

Pretty much your standard taxi down our way ;)
