Apparently I'm going to be getting a pressie so I,m not going to be needing one.
Therefore my 'interest' is now up for grabs for someone else.
Thanks for organizing anyway

LBL didn't actually say the list was closed, just that enough people had shown and put their names down to make it a possible group buy I think.

Okay. Not so good news on this one I am afraid. I knew it was too good to hope for after a run of two excellent arktis smock GBs. The problem revolves around getting the right volume of stock at the right size (the dutch are tall an slim as a national characteristic...which is a bit at odds with the 'average' BCUK member) and at the right quality of top grade. The retailer has a quantity of stock but smaller sizes (sub 42") and only a proportion of these would be very top grade. The problem is compounded by a big reduction in the availability of Dutch surplus lately. This makes the HH Woolly fleeces rarer than hens teeth and will only get rarer.
I am sorry about this guys. I tried. I knew when I saw this kit that it was a 'banker' in terms of quality but could not pull off a good source of stock availability. Damn. I will keep an eye out as I feel there must be another GB in me before Christmas.
Apologies to all who expressed interest. But nothing ventured nothing gained.
