A set of Alpkit Bear Paws pogies

Alas, if only I'd bothered to register the product name

A few of their product names appear to have been inspired by other established names in the industry

Well I'm happy doing my Kenny Everett impression with them in the office

You will enjoy them, I had some of the development ones from them for Snowdon and the BBWE.

Postie brought those backcountry bits to me today.

A fancy strap and a little zip up bag as I was fed up of searching the very depths of framebags to find spares etc.

And delivered a very nice Ti Goat Kestrel bivi bag. Seriously impressed and will be excellent for keeping the mozzies at bay. Incidentally on the kitchen scales it came in at 190 g a wee bit heavier than the advertised 160 g. Not a deal breaker for me though. How to other people find theirs weighing up?

A 64oz (1.8 litre) Sawyer Water Filter bag to replace the bag which comes with the filter, which is a little small.

A reflective mat for when it's very cold - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highlander-SM0 ... B001U1K2HY. Hat tip to Sussex Paul on the hammock thread for suggesting this.

And some Firefly Cherry Moonshine. But that wasn't mine :)

Festive 500 badge. Go nicely with the BB200 one!

Hmm... I had completely forgotten about that. Hopefully I'll get mine soon too.

Not having ever ordered anything from Crikey, how much, i was a bit confused to get a letter from them until i realised!

I've still not forgiven them for not sending me a Crikey, how much Rising badge a couple of years ago
I contacted them too, but they couldn't even extend me the courtesy of a reply

I can't remember if I said this or not, but I had a few expensive hipster bits turn up recently

Keeping the classic jersey and the buff, which is actually rather nice. Other bits like hat and gloves going back, gloves were either too big or not cut right

Superb, another addition to the swear filter.
Well done that man

Got home to find that Cordillera Volume 8 has been delivered That's my evenings occupied for a while.

Me too ... but until I read your post I'd forgotten, now just need to remember where I put the package.

No sign of it here, might need to run outside in the rain to see if it's in the auxiliary post box (next doors Series 2 landrover).

Found it, it was under some maps ... hefty this year int' it?

Nice little haul of cheap OS maps from millets- 3 local ones including a replacement for a very old one and 1 to take to a do we're going to for the OHs family up galloway way in the summer.

Quite happy about the included digital downloads too.

First one I've had but I'm impressed with the volume of it, it will take me some time to read

That's good to hear. In his email Chris said that despite record numbers of riders he was struggling to get write ups.

A birthday pressie for Cath

Well, that's exciting. Never thought I'd be this excited about buying a rigid mountain bike, but there you go.
