  1. Well I have just survived the crush in my local Aldis and I
    am now the proud owner of two lovely green walking poles. At
    £7.99 you cant go wrong. It looks as though they had nearly
    sold out by the time I left the shop at
    9.30! Mark

  2. 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.

    *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!
