thanks stu. i'll keep an eye out for those.

Hi there,

looking for some advise on 2nd hand GPS, ideally want to spend £50 max
have been looking at etrex units as they get mentioned on here as being good but don't know which models to go for or avoid?

many thanks =]

Really enjoyed that John, thanks.
makes me sad i couldn't attend too.

Got 4 days off and we are heading to North Yorkshire with the family and dog, Fish and Chips and Whitby tomorrow and general slobbing around without bikes. May sound like hell to some but I can't wait. Enjoy Nope, sounds perfect! :-bd I'm heading to Rosedale/Hutton Le Hole tomorrow morning for a we...

It is, if you go to mappleton and turn down the side of the car dealership, opposite the church, it'll show a small road leading to the beach. you'll come to a barrier, where the road sweeps downhill rather steeply. when you get to the bottom of the hill, you can camp on the flats to the left, like...

Snap!

lots of good suggestions flying about, thanks everybody, looks like i'll be keeping an eye on ebay for a 2nd hand buffalo teclite, There doesn't seem to be anything on the market that ticks all the boxes: 1 fit and forget 2 lots of ventilation 3 relatively low insulation level I'll will go and try o...

I use a Paramo windproof with a merino top under or a Paramo waterproof with a high wicking tee. this is my other possible solution, but I like the side venting on the buffalo as I "run hot" (i.e. I'm a sweaty bugger). How do you find the paramo + merino for temperature control + how does...

Yeah, spotted them but I think they're made with the heavier pile lining (like the mountian shirt)

That is the Keela one, it just doesn't say keela on it :-P I understand what you mean about the fit but i'm getting used to it, everyone's different though. I'll maybe try an XL or XXL if i can hit a surplus shop that stocks them some time. My arms are pretty long It and the Large one I got was com...

thanks for all the replies! I'll look into the suggestions but have a feeling i'll be keeping an eye out for a 2nd hand buffalo on ebay or somewhere. Rab vapour rise works on the same principal, just has a much lighter micro pile inner. Can usually be found discounted in go outdoors and online! does...

The only alternative I've found is the Keela made army issue smock, which may well be the one you've tried. Other than that I've looked everywhere for an alternative and found nothing affordable :cry: . the keela is a new one to me, this is the one i tried: https://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/a...

I'm looking for suggestions for an alternative to a buffalo teclite shirt, bit too spendy for me (typically tight yorkshireman :-bd ). I've used a buffalo mountain shirt a lot in the past but am after something a bit lighter on insulation. I have tried an army surplus PCS smock, sizing was weird. pe...
