Sorry about the stained cover. You really DON'T want to know what the unfortunate stain is! Let's just say it is one way to remember a beloved deceased cat! Luckily, the inside is better:

I was well into this stuff what with hiking, camping and adventure canoeing I did back then. A bit of cycle touring as well of course. I really liked the military section:

Quite expensive though. Surplus shops got way more of my limited teenage money! One more:

I once bumped into someone a couple of years ago in a supermarket in Telford. Huge red beard and piercing eyes. I said I felt sure I had seen him before and he said, yes probably on TV.
It was of course Mark o' Shea who endorsed products such as the Petzl head torches in Survival Aids. He was well impressed that I remembered!

ah, vaguely remember - on the edge of the concourse bit?Used to have a store by Euston Station.
I definitely have to get myself half a dozen camo bungees.
