Just a thread where people coming on scotland (or generous people not coming on scotland) can post their requests for gear to borrow, or offers of gear to lend out.. Hopefully this'll work.

Include how to get in touch so anyone reading this can get hold of you if they need to.

So far, I have a request for:

1 pair size 8.5/9 boots.

Can anyone help?

I may just be able to assist there. I can lend someone my Nepal Extremes, I normally wear size 8/9 shoes so they should be perfect. And they're infinitely better than any floppy B2 pair. They'll cost you two pints of beer though.

i have a range of gear im willing to lone. just get in touch.
personal stuff:

rucksacks
head torches
inner/outer gloves
hats, balaclavas
goggles
outer shell - jacket and trousers
boots (may be)

group stuff:

groupshelters
axes
crampons
dead men, screws
1st aid kits

Tommy if you have a decent size rucksac that would be great cos mines only a 35, waasn't gonna buy a bigger one but could be useful to borrow to save those ropes getting wet on the walk in! Also if your goggles will fit over a pair of glasses that would be superb cos I don't like wearing contacts when it's cold.

Ive got some size 12 boots... they're not gonna fit anyone but thought ide put that out there, and some ski trousers, waterproof gore-tex jacket and gloves if anyone wants to borrow them (and keep them safe)

I've got loads of stuff if someone wants to come to Blackpool to collect it!

MILF-Hunter - I always wear my contacts in Scotland as I wouldn't want my glasses to freeze up (which they do) - so I would take contacts as well if you can, so you have the option.

Heya, i was wondering if it would be possible to borrow the following from anyone:
-size 6 boots
-snow goggles
-rucksack (40+L)
-gaiters

Thanks

Yeh I'm gonna try with contacts cos it would be better but when it's cold sometimes my eyes water and they fall out.

Also if anyone will lend me gaiters and trousers that would be helpful.

Maybe Fran could use one of Laurence's size 12 boots?
