Fell free to add your picks of 2007, mate.
I will keep my eye out for you also O0

Well to tell youthe truth i dont really have any picks as i only started walking in September but here it goes anyway.
TENT - Tesco 3 man dome - £20 - Great piece of cheap kit
Boots - Mountain gear (no brand) - £30 - No blisters but couldnt handle the lakes in winter, feet got rather damp. Brilliant summer boots though
Waterprood - £10 pullovers (no brand) - worked a treat
Socks - I think they are x-trails
Essential piece of kit - 20 Tabs and a lighter ;D ;D ;D
-
And what a tent O0 O0 O0
Lighter.............. windproof ;D
Have a great Christmas Mase

Over 60 views and not one Merry Christmas to me :( :(

Ok Merry Christmas S/z and to all you mad outdoors people :)

Over 60 views and not one Merry Christmas to me :( :(
Aw! Dee-Dums ;D
My list is
Jacket: (oddly) a lightfitting Berghaus for when the weather is calmer
Trousers: Some more combats (mine are getting a little worn)
Socks: I'm tempted to by these 1000 mile sock things Dazza mentioned.
General equipment: A new flask - my old workman's flask is becoming an embarrasment. :-[
I'd quite like those fold up plates/cups that were shown on Dragon's Den as well - they looked great, but have completely forgotten the name of them ;)
Merry X-Mas, Summit! And all the rest of the fine folk on here :P
-
Yeah SZ, Merry christmans to you and every one else who posts on the board.

I know what i want to have for 2008.., and it starts with maybe the best leg wear i can afford probaly a pair of RAB as ive seen them on ''how should i put this'' real expert outdoors folk plus ive been told there very good..,a pair of ASOLO boots that weigh in at 650grams the pair i defanetly want them and not that expensive either at £120..,oh and a new stove the jet boil as ive seen it in action and it also packs up into itself at around the size of a tin of beans..,i'd like the new LEKI poles abit pricey at nearly £60 a pole.., anyway thats my wish list oh and not forgetting a really good bivvi, hey maybe santa will leave them at foot of my bed.......hahaha

hey maybe santa will leave them at foot of my bed.......hahaha
He will if you wrote him a letter! ;D
-
ooooooooo and i've been such a good girl..........
what i'd like is a really nice waterproof jacket (the berghaus one the other half has will do) oh apparently its a long cornice
some nice waterproof trousers (anything would be better than the [censored] i used on the pw!)
and some nice comfy boots............
we (me and mr kkm) would like a nice extremely lightweight tent - although for ease our pop up tent was fantastic it were a bit on the heavy side......
my favourite bit of kit i used in 2007 has to be the seal skin socks. they did try and keep the water out, but when you will go in bogs up to your knees.........
oh and a really nice light weight back pack.........
so santa, i have been such a really good girl............ ;)
merry christmas everyone - may 2008 bring you walking heaven!
