They never made it back?! :eek:

Hey billy, care to share about your paranormal experiences? I'm open minded about ghosts but sadly I've never seen one. I've got that 'feeling' you describe though, in fact I think there are many people who have replied to this topic saying they feel the same thing. Strange really, it kind of...

I still haven't found the answer to this problem. As already stated by others, Goretex boots take forever to dry once they are soaked and most of the time they saturate your feet with your own sweat that can't escape, wearing 'liner' socks does little to help this. I've also tried two pairs of...

Think I'm going to order the 7x50 pair for £14.99. Cheap and cheerful will do me for now, I can splash out on some good ones when they're more needed.

What about these?

Hello there. Now that I'm at college and I've got plenty of free time, its finally about time I started to get outside and learn more about nature. I've got Collins Pocket Guides to Trees, Wild Flowers & Birds. However for bird spotting I could do with some Binoculars. Preferably as cheap as...

I'm so close to buying some KSO Treks and seeing what they're like for walking...but..there's just something holding me back...must..buy..them.

I'd go in and try it on first if I were you, the fit looks like it has an 'active fit' like most walking coats these days, which means it is often very short at both front and back, which means it is not very good for keeping your backside or your back dry in rain. My personal opinion, if it was...

Wow you did a great thing there by going out of your way to compensate for the selfish and foolish actions of others, positive karma indeed for you! It looks as though you did a great job rebuilding those walls, and the resin idea was great, what a way to use your head. Well done. :)

Just thought I'd give this thread a little bump, as I've been asking myself the same question recently. Currently in college studying my GCSE's as I only left school in 2004 with two. Going to do plenty of volunteering, wild camping and a bushcraft course next summer and from there I'm pretty...

It looks like it would be something I would immensely enjoy, but I won't be able to attend. I've bookmarked it into my favourites though, I might perchance be in that part of the country this time next year.

I've been subscribed to this thread since the first few pages, keep the updates coming when you can Jonathan!

I have used the standard orange rain cover that came with my Lowe Alpine TFX Expedition rucksack, and even in the most heavy and prolonged rain it never once let any water through. After taking some abuse, to the eye the water did not appear to bead up and run off as it did when brand new, so it...

I think Dalmation Bellflower is pretty much spot on. I had a quick google and looked at a few random images and the leaf shape seems almost identical to the picture I took.

Anyone, please?

Okay I've got back from work today and I've managed to take some pictures of my own. From the picture in my book I don't think it looks like a Peach leaved Bell Flower. Rather, I think it looks like a Spreading Bellflower. When I lift them upright, the stalk is about 20cm long, but I am a...

Hello there. I've only just got my Collins Wild Flowers of Britain & Europe nature guide, and I've never really identified many plants before so I thought I'd have a look around my rather wild garden first, and see what I could find. I've found this flower growing in the shade, it has...

Yes, Steve. Although I'm looking at this Country Innovation Kestrel Smock as well.

I'm aware of the access code in Scotland, and as for Goretex..well; I've already said it.

It's not always possible to walk into a wood and start a fire to dry your gear, even more so when walking long distance routes or National Trails, and the last thing I want to do is have my campsite for the night stumbled upon by an angry farmer or landowner who wants to know why I'm desecrating...
