Milletts sale
Found myself in Milletts today looking at their sale stuff
Amongst other things they have Brasher Hillwalker socks - buy one (pair !), get one(pair !) free - which worked out about the same price as the Peter Storm stuff, not that theres anything wrong with Peter Storm gear either Just got to find some hills to walk up now ![]()

Can't get to a Millets shop at the moment so I've been using their web site where there are web only offers as well as the regular sale.
The site is here Very pleased with what I've bought so far and they will deliver to a work address. |

"pity they don't sell any of the brasher range at £42.00"
Matt - funny you should say that because M and M sports happen to have Brasher boots and very low prices http://www.mandmsports.com/ProductDe...ProductID=2646 http://www.mandmsports.com/ProductDe...ProductID=2644 Just bought a pair myself and I have found them very comfortable Doug |

Just been in Blacks today. Great sale on waterproof jackets, a North face jacket caught my eye - £180 down to £90. Lots of others at or around half price. Shame I'd already spent my jacket money in...... Millets!

As for cheap fleeces - I got a superb Berghaus wind-stopper fleece half-price from Blacks just after Christmas this year! Must be an annual event - watch this space for next year! ![]() |

I'm that sort of person who's diet is controlled by what's on the Co-op 'buy one get one free' shelf - it's become an obsession !
I've bought great clothing from the Bid up/Price drop TV shopping channels - end of line Regatta duck down & Craghopper jackets for a tenner, Calvin klein undies for pennies. There's always a sale somewhere - great fleeces from Edinburgh woolen mill for a fiver, Millets current Internet sale - don't know why anyone pays full price for anything. When I'm out I've got on a base layer, couple of fleeces, Helly hanson goretex coat, goretex boots, gaiters, berghuas hat, silk & fleece gloves, £5 jeans, leggings, coolmax socks - I can charge through brambles with abandon as the whole lot cost less than a decent coat. I've noticed when I'm out that some people really don't have a clue about keeping warm - Blazer & neatly ironed trousers, no hat, no gloves - nylon pacamacs - or the annoying ones with a really expensive coat, no hat, no gloves, trendy shoes & trousers - I buy my outdoor gear one size (at least) too big (including the boots) so I can get all the under layers & socks on and still have room to trap lots of insulating air. |

Chris it makes me laugh when some people come to our local nature reserves, totally dressed wrongly as you say. Ladies in high heels going down muddy paths especially bring a smile to my face. Often such people arrive usually in a big 4X4 that has never ever been off road in its life!
