    Free (but you pay post) - Random black webbing straps

    These have now gone, apologies for not updating the thread sooner. Ok, I have a bunch (6 ish) of these things at work. If no-one wants them they'll be going in the bin. They are harnesses for tablet/touchscreen computers. Basically 4 sections of 1.5" wide webbing joined in a cross...

    Bushcraft & Fears

    See, I know there's nothing scary here but I still imagine I might bump into a big cat on the moors. I guess that's a real worry elsewhere though http://www.backpacker.com/mountain_lion_san_francisco_stalk/blogs/daily_dirt/1656

    A Q for the Ladies - Gentlemen, you may wish to avert your eyes.

    Supportive sports bras are most definitely uncomfortable after a while. The crop type ones also seem to be a bit 'one size fits a small minority' with larger back size = jumbo cups, smaller back size = small cup size For more sports bras than you can shake a stick at, check out...

    FS: Asolo Fugitive GTX Boots Size 7.5

    Worn at my frst moot and for a walk/scramble in the lakes. Next time I went to use them they felt too small :( and they've been sat in the cupboard ever since. I replaced them with some leather boots but now wish I'd just got another pair of these in a bigger size. These cost £125 at...

    Where can I find a Trangia 27-4 HA?

    Not seen those anywhere (and I've been looking) Closest I've seen is this http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/trangia-277-ulha-kit-p-843.html Not sure what the benefit of a hard anodized windshield is though - maybe it's stealthy :rolleyes: It's quite frustrating no-one seems to stock the more...

    Finding a room to rent in Skipton - where to start looking?

    Ta, already looked on those. I was more after 'local knowledge' - if anyone knows when the local paper is out or if they've noticed any notice boards in shops in the town, or indeed, have a room

    Finding a room to rent in Skipton - where to start looking?

    Possibly a bit random for the forum but I need to find a room to rent in Skipton and don't really know where to start. Any advice? I don't suppose anyone has a spare or room they rent out (or know of anyone who does)? pm me if you do.

    FS: Swedish snow smock and pants

    NOW SOLD £13 posted I bought this off ebay to wear to a fancy dress party. I didn't look used (fabric was very smooth with the only creases where it was folded.) I washed it as it was a bit smelly and then spent ages trying to iron it. I would describe this as more of a light...

    Anyone ordered from Craghoppers??

    Yep, recently ordered some trousers in their sale. Got order confirmation but no further emails. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. In contrast, earlier this evening I got a phonecall from Rose at backpackinglight.co.uk to check my order had arrived and everything was ok.

    nanok Endurance SF -10 help

    I was cold in one of the -10 bags in at the beginning of May and had to borrow an extra bag to use use as a blanket. I've heard the women sleep colder than men and you sleep colder the older you get. I reckon being a woman and the wrong side of 30 is a bit of a handicap when it comes to...

    self inflating matt question

    Now (allegedly) the newer, fancier lightweight thermorests don't self inflate that much. Sensible sized (i.e full length and 3-4cm thick) thermorest types aren't actually that light e.g 4cm Alpkit Regular Airic is 1090g, 3cm Slim Airic is 743g. Real thermorest mats are damned dear too. I still...
