In a weeks time it'll all be over, the biggest anti-climax of the year will be behind us for another 365 days. However it does mean that this time next week, some people will have new 'toys' to play with ... so what's he bringing you, anything good ?

A new eTrex 20's in my stocking, it'll be the first gps I've had with colour mapping, so looking forward to having a play.

I'm having (or rather have had!) a lightweight Rohan down jacket - as worn last weeked!

TN Photon1 (£100 upgrade after selling my Laser comp)
Black Exped 5L & 8L drybags
Alpkit Ti Lhoon, 2x 1L airlock drybags
Montane Featherlite H2O Jacket

All will be tested in preparation for Mach n Back with a trip into the Peaks over Xmas :D Cant wait it's been weeks since Ive been out overnight.

Stuart, can you bring your Etrex to M&B for me to have a looky pls?

Will do

I've got some nice books on order, one new one second hand. Both cycling related. Also, some digital mapping software for my Mac is on the list, but I'll have to wait and see...

some new gloves, waterproof and hopefully warmer than my summer ones

I haven't got a beard!

I thought the cheeky git was talking about me Matt.

A lovely Z-Paks bivy is approaching the customs vipers as we speak, the fat man was to busy to bring it direct, slacker. :?

I had a small bag arrive the other day( no, the wife was in London village at the time) and it nicely avoided the customs folk for a change.
Think positive.
