As kids, we used to go down the railway to look at a water drain running under the track. It went into a huge pipe, boiled downwards into the bottom of the pipe and, eventually, boiled up again at the far side. We dropped things into it and they took ages to appear at the other end. I was terrified and fascinated in equal measures but spent a lot of time there...<br /><br />I'm not really into gear as such and, like you, just buy what suits me, preferably at a cheap price. And I fully agree with what you say about supermarkets - we all like to use them and 'save money' but it will put a lot of businesses down the aforementioned drain! :-(<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-83807826165813082102013-08-27T09:36:16.038+01:002013-08-27T09:36:16.038+01:00I would have turned back in Scotland Jim as I can ...I would have turned back in Scotland Jim as I can pick my sunny days better over here but overall it was a cracking trip.<br />Slieve Binnian would be a superb day out in fine conditions.
