I was thinking of having the karrimor over the montane but I weighed my Filo this morning and it's not as heavy as I thought sp gonna give the karrimor a miss as it's probably as good as the montane fireball I've got already.

Finisterre have a sale on until midday Wednesday. Up to 50% - though that is mostly girly stuff:

Packs of 4 40g 9bars were two for £2.50 in Waitrose yesterday, which is cheaper (by weight) than buying a box of 16 50g bars off the 9bar website. Choice of flavours too.

ooh good find. I know where I'm going at lunch time!

have just ordered a hell of a lot of 9bars!!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D

Typical. They deliver to France but won't deliver to us in the sticks in Dorset, 12 miles from the nearest store!

Not so - I got 'em delivered to the UK (for later pick-up).

Though.....there are little pockets of (very well off) Brits (mostly on the West coast of France) who club together to get weekly Waitrose deliveries. :?

Montane down in big and bigger.... 50% off!

Their own hubs, crest rims and sapim race spokes for £200

http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=496

Even if I have to re-tension everything the rims and spokes alone would retail at nearly that price.

Update to this, I would advise against these now. 120miles and the rear freehub is about done.

FWIW I'm over 200 miles into my SS Switch/Crests which includes Mayhem and all is well. :)

30% off everything at Overboard. Be quick as previous sales have been pretty brief.

You've got to be cautious about anything that comes in a handled bag. Over 1.5kg and 2foot long, it'd be good training for the Alps

Just by replacing the pole & pegs with something other than steel will lose most of that.

Craghoppers are having a bit of a clearance, some jackets, fleeces and softshells which might be worth a look if you're in the market.

Karrimor light down gilet, £18 inc P+P?

http://www.fieldandtrek.com/karrimor-li ... merreviews

Arrived today. Bargain.. Size M suits me at 6ft/11.5-12st, nicely snug fit, not gappy at arm or waist hems and reasonable length. No tug adjusters tho. Thin, low fill power down but feels warm enough as a 175g small-pack mid layer.

Used 5 nights,
