Aldi walking poles

I think the Welsh rugby squad should pop down to my local
for some scrummagging practice!

Took a gamble on the boots and bought a wickable orange T
Shirt. The t shirt is very comfortable on and I might pop
and get another later. Tried a jacket on and felt quite
good but as I have just bought a Lowe Alpine so not
really needed?

Do I need to walk around the house in the boots for a few
days - they feel quite comfortable sat here at the pc and I
reckon they would be ok.

Jolly good! I've had bags from there before and they're not
bad for the sort of camping I do, i.e. from car to tent and
in (hopefully) warmish weather.

And a double self-inflating mat. I'm tempted by that,
because even with the 'proper' S-I mattresses I still like a
bit of extra padding 'twixt me and the ground.

But it's only available in the provinces - not in the
South East 8^{

*Giggle* - and then there are those who think I'm
sufficiently padded already! But in all seriousness,
impressed though I am by Therm-A-Rest and Highlander S-I
mattresses, were it remotely possible or indeed practical
I'd take my bed mattress camping with
me. I do like a nice thick springy sink-in-able bed. And I
also like getting a good night's zzzzzzzz.

Fran, whose best zuzz in a tent was on three (yes, *three*)
S-I mattresses :-)

To a certain extent. But a multitude of TARs is even
better ;-)

Ever considered a camping bed? Your tent is big enough. htt-

Doesn't 3 constitute trampolining?

No, three is just about right, and for trampolining you
need a trampoline :-) Tell you what though, I wouldn't
mind having a pole vault crash mat to sleep on -
they're fabulous!
