Jack Wolfskin Blizzard?

+1 for watchfinder, gave me a very good price for a Breitling. Could be in need of a service as the lubricants thicken over time causing poor time keeping. (or so Im told) Depending on the movement think its 3 or 5 year service interval. The Breitling I sold was loosing 15 seconds a day, after...

Saw his lecture in Cardiff. Inspirational man with a superbly dry sense of humour. Kept the entire audience enthraled all evening

Hes a very naughty boy!

Chiseller, Arrived this morning, well chuffed, cheers

I was lucky enough to spend a week or so dog sledding out of Ely Minnesotta a year or so ago. Duluth is the major township for the area and our hosts gave us Duluth packs for all our kit. We used vintage wooden dog sleds and slept out under the stars in snow scrapes. Night time temps were...

Me too, got to say thanks to Nick at Heinne too, rang them in desperation yesterday before I had the brainwave that brought me here. He had left when I rang, but to his credit rang me back at 9am sharp with plenty of tips!

Thanks all, will give that a go, I hope it doesnt take as long as the Mary Rose!

Evening all, First post so go gentle on me! I've just got back from a spot of camping with the kids. Late last night, while we were fishing I dropped my Helle Harding knife and sheath in the sea. It was quite rough and around knee deep so though that was the end of that. Got up at 5:30 and...
