Morning Rabble,
I've just received a £10 Gift Certificate from Amazon and it is burning a whole in my pocket!!!
Rather than just blowing it randomly I thought I would open it up to the NI-Wilders for ideas:
:o Have you got a favourite bit of kit, that you go nowhere without?
::) Is there a book you've read that you found invaluable?
Remember it must be available on Amazon and cost less than a tenner.
I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions and spending my tenner ;)

Top tip: if anyone else decided to go for one... Wash it before it's first outing. I came home from a wet night in the hills with a lovely deep green coloured forehead and neck ;D

I can't think of anything for under a tenner, but for a few quid extra I'd go for:
Bahco Laplander Saw (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0001IX7OW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=jonpattoutd-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0001IX7OW)
Leatherman Style CS (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003J37BMK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=jonpattoutd-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B003J37BMK)

Thanks everybody for your great ideas... I ended up going for Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 of the Ordnance Survey Ireland Discovery Series for my up and coming Glover Highlander walk in Donegal.
Total price £10.83 including postage and packaging from Amazon. So taking off my £10.00 Gift Voucher, which I got from collecting points of my Amazon Credit Card, I got them both for £0.83p...
Bargain :)

Reminds me I have £25 Cotswold vouchers floating around somewhere. Must get out and spend it.

I got a Laplander style saw for the princely sum of one pound from Poundland ;D
It's maybe not as smooth as the real thing but it locks and cuts just fine. Must buy a couple more as back ups :)
