MSR whisperlite stove including fuel bottle. Only used a few times many years ago. Haven't tested it recently but no reason to think it won't work! Collection from HX4.

Buffalo big face shirt, size 38.

Only worn 3 of 4 times, then mrs dac bunged in in the tumble drier causing the pile inner to shrink slightly.

This was about 3 years ago, it’s never going to fit me again, (and I’ve not been winter climbing since pre-pandemic) so it’s free to a good home. I’d rather it was used for its intended purpose rather than just being used for cold weather dog walking / gardening / whatever.

Fit wise it’s probably shrunk about 1 size, I’m 5’10” and 11.5 stone and it’s just too snug for me ( if the waist didn’t rise up when I lifted my arms I’d keep it.

Happy to post it (for free).

Drop me a line.

I'll happily take that off you, I'll be using it to stay warm between goes during lamp sessions mind you, so I'll not be too upset if you palm it off on someone else :D

Well if no winter climbers are forthcoming then it's yours. I am aware that a post on UKC would be seen by more of the bimbly gully climbing types that such a garment appeals to however I don't wish to field 30 odd enquiries into size, colour, how warm it is, can I use it in the Alps/climbing wall/ect. At which point a 150 post discussion over the merits of a buffalo vs. goretex / paramo / down jacket commences. All of which I am obliged to read.

My sympathies Dac, After similar adventures in shrinkage I have refused to have one in the house (tumble dryer, not Buffalo).

Surely mention the old joke about how it's different from a Bison?

I can't really blame you on that front tbh!

Well then, seems no-one else has any interest in a Buffalo shirt.

Wellsy, drop me a message with an address in it and I'll get it posted off to you.

For any of the Sheffield folks, I've just put a canvas covered wardrobe thing on Gumtree. Free to a good home if it's any use to anyone.

I have a pair of Acoustic Solutions 1000 floor standing speakers free to a good home. Must be 20 years old now at least but still sounded good when I disconnected them.

Collect from Sheffield

Punch bag (decathlon 20kg job) in good nick. Got a swivel hanger for attaching to ceiling and some gloves going too if of interest.
Located between Ilkley and Otley.

Got during lockdown and it was great, but no space for it at the new house. Can sort some pictures if anyone's bothered.

Anyone interested in a 170x140x5cm foam mattress? The previous owner had it made for my van but I replaced it with something a bit more luxurious.

It is quite soft but I slept fine on it for a few nights before I upgraded. Would be fine if someone is looking to do a cheap van conversion. Pick up from Northampton/Milton Keynes or I can meet at a Peak crag on a weekend or I could drop off somewhere en route if it isn't too far out of the way.

I also have 2 standard double mattresses and 2 single mattresses that have served as board matting for 10+ years. I wouldn't sleep on them but they'll do a job if anyone is after some no frills matting to go under a board. I'm guessing there won't be any takers for these, in which case they'll go to the tip in a couple of days.

Does anybody have any suggestions where I might be able to get a load of polystyrene? We've been doing some gardening work in preparation for the summer and have some recycled planters that will bankrupt me if I fill them fully with topsoil.

I also have two iPhone SE cases (the semi-hard type) if they're of use to anybody? One is the newer shape (dark green edging, pretty much unused) the other the older shape (that looks like a 5C; it has a pattern on it).

Seriously... there is a load of restortion work going on in the general cemetery in sheffield at the moment.  They have been using some huge blocks (2m x 1m x 1m) of xps to use as form work I think (filling the old catacombs).  There seems to be large chunks of it all over the place. 

If you're down this way at all, might be worth a chat with the foreman on site?

Thanks, but I'm in Lancs (Colne ish near Widdop) these days. I spec this stuff all the time but usually on London jobs so the offcuts aren't close to home.

Lump of foam.  1.5m X 1m X 0.15m
A bit grubby from storage but great as a pad for a woodie. 
I think I have another around the same size in the eaves of the loft somewhere so you can have both.
