RAB Microlight at Go Outdoors ... seem to have all sizes in lime and oddly for Go Outdoors you can even buy one on-line. £70 but you'll need to add a fiver for a discount card :roll:

Multimat 'summit' XL foam mat, £20 down from about £40, in Blacks in Bristol and apparently Keswick, so I'd guess it's fairly common around the country. If anyone, aside from myself, uses foam mats.

Merino t's at £18/£25. Just got one and they are a thinner merino, don't know what weight, and expect it to be good for riding in:
