After a thread kept talking about them an Alpkit Gamma headtorch http://www.alpkit.com/gamma/. At £12.50 its a bargain, and I'm justifying it because I have to go up in the loft sometime...

An excellent piece of kit and an equally good excuse! :lmao:

......... however may I suggest a down duvet jacket as well!? - my loft is pretty parky at this time of year!;)

I implusively pressed 'buy-it-now' on a pair of used Lundhags Professional High's. The guy said he had worn them for a week but they weren't for him, and was asking £130.00... luckily they are in perfection condition and fit me like a glove. My impulse buys don't usually have a happy ending but i'm chuffed to bits with these.

'Ewell' Mine for £6.50 + p and p.

Happy, but also trepidatious, as SWMBO will be in when it gets delivered.

Don't need anymore camping kit (need to get rid of some to be honest) so impulse buys are more sensible these days, things like two return tickets to Spain for me and the wife only three nights but nice:)

Retirements a bitch ;)

My wife thinks I have a backpack fetish..... (she could be right)

Oh and I had a Helle Odel that I bought a few years ago, It's was a beutiful knife but the handle was a little small. But the blade broke (while battoning)

So cos' of the life time cover I emailed them and got a replacement FREE, but i asked for one with a bigger handle. so I picked a Symfoni, V Nice, bitchin' sharp.
