You was robbed

I didn't say *I* paid £6 for 'em

Wanting something light, packable and less of a worry in wet conditions, I settled on two different solutions:

Pool shoes that can be picked up the Bay of 'e' and elsewhere for about £6


Huarache sandals that I cobbled together

Very packable and there's plenty of videos on Youtube showing how to make/tie them.

What site were you on Rob?

@Mike Well I can certainly vouch so far that it qualifies as a Force 5 ... and if that's all it ever encounters, I'll be fine with that

Had one lively night (although granted, not a gale) and it was fine. We shall see.

Bought this Force10 Xenon UL2 just over a year ago and it's only recently had its first outing.
Here 'tis at 'Conkers' C&CC site on a recent tour.


Did a little 'unbagging' vid a while ago:
