Being a forum for outdoor folks, I'm sure Santa has been shopping in Cotswolds/Tiso/Blacks etc....

Rab Summit Jacket
AV Caving Oversuit
AV Caving Undersuit
GorillaPod Magnetic
Lego Technic 4x4 Buggy (complete with headlight, auto adjusting suspension and working winch which took over 10 hrs to build today...!)
Wii Lego Harry Potter Game
A3 Ortelieb Map Case
Tibloc Emergency Ascender
Microfleece Balaclava
1 litre Lifesystems Flask
Fire Steel (now got a spare as I already got one with my Secret Santa gift)

IKEA vouchers (for our new wardrobes)
Tesco Vouchers (mum's traditional since I moved out of home +10yrs ago)
Big box of Chocolates
Canterbury trousers and shirt for PE days in work

Santa has definitely been shopping in some outdoor emporiums for me!  My Rab Demand smock was part of my Christmas present as well as my birthday present but I also got a Travel Tap, a trekking towel, a pair of Outdoor Designs gloves and best of all... a packet of Southern Fried Chicken Super Noodles!

I got a set off DMM flys (ice axes) and a set of Grivel G12's (crampons) and some money which I've invested in a Rab power stretch top, my new recommended piece of kit!

I got myself a pair scarpa boots of eBay for £60 not even a scuff on them , previous owner got wrong size . I have worn in all the snow which was fine but tried them up binian and I'm not 100% sure I just find them to clunky
Rab photon jacket which is great and very warm
Few other bits and bobs including a compact camera as mine is floating in the sea of coast of Donegal
Also got my boys dd scout hammocks that a mate and I tried out in annalong wood on the 2nd , not sure if it was due to me getting over flu and feeling pretty crap but I felt sea sick lying in when it swung , will have to retry before I spend my money on my own hammock
Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
