Santa brought me a mountain bike. Completely unexpected and so different to the last one I bought 24 years ago :o

Phil you'll have to take it down to Castlewellan Trailquest this Wednesday to test it out  ;) 

Only outdoor gear I got was a solar power monkey thingy, don't think my wife relaised that this means i'll now have to go on multiday treks to use it  ;D

Rich you've got an expensive sieve  ::)

Hiking socks. Can never have enough of those.

I did get some of these from a thoughtful relative. Looks like a giggle

Santa didn't bring it but I treated myself to a Storm Kettle too, always wanted one...after saying I'm not buying any more camping gear ever because I could open a shop as it is.

I was going to get some of this for last Halloween. It looks pretty cool!
