Stuff you've found when out.
Over the last 6 weeks I've found the following items in some very unlikely places;
Packet of dry roasted nuts, unopened, so they came in handy. Found these on open moorland, no path or track for at least a mile.
Tin of sardines, again unopened. You could only reach this spot with a pretty dodgy scramble up the rock face.
Cannon CoolPix camera ... no 'iffy' pictures though. Now awaiting Trail mag to publish the details in their lost/found section.
Pair of Ray Bans ... make me look quite camp, so ideal for bivvying
1M spirit level, god knows what someone was doing with that.
Anyone else found anything good while out?

No Lynx-can meths stoves though Stuart? You'd have to be an idiot to loose one of those after the 1st breakfast of a 2 night bivvy event :?
I occasionally come across tent pegs, which just when you think you have found a special remote secret camping spot can be a dissapointment!
I can on two occasions quite easily remember finding £20 notes. One in Edinburgh, one York. Happy days.

I regularly find golf balls in the middle of forests. Never a golf course to be seen anywhere nearby of course.

Re: Stuff you've found when out.
Nikon SLR on Yewbarrow - returned to owner via Trail Mag (it does work Stu!)
11mm climbing rope - unkown history so never used for climbing/abbing.
Loads of climbing gear (including entire belays consisting of nuts and Friends).
An empty rucksac - I can only assume they carried everything home in their pockets.
Slovenian beer towel.
Tons of human excrement in the Dome de Gouter hut on Mont Blanc - we left that in situ

Don't spend too long Stuart, it has been superseded by the new chimney stove :D Which I might add worked brilliantly last night, my 3yr old was chuffed to have his morning milk warmed by such excellence.

Re: Stuff you've found when out.
It's a long story, but not yet. (Phone broken and in for repair, main camera has photos of our Lass' practice wedding hair-do on the memory card so I'm banned from looking at it until she has had 5 to download them!!).
I'll do a how-to thread once I can sort it as it really is the best style stove for Caldera type set-ups.

Not suprisingly I haven't given any thought to practicing my hair do for the big day, nor would I consider taking any photos of it :!:

oh come on Anthony I am sure with our knowledge of hairdressing we can advise you admirably the forum members I have met sport superb barnets of brilliance, so don't be afraid to ask for our barbary critique in readiness for your big day (I don't think I have had enough sleep this weekend, damn rugby)
