Its FREEcycle sloper. I know your tory mind will struggle with this concept, but the idea is you actually give stuff away. For nothing. Not a bean. I know, its ridiculous. This country! No wonder,  etc etc.

If you want to sell stuff try ebay.

Two wetsuits..

Rip Curl F-Bomb 5/4/3 Just over three years old and still alright for a Spring/Autumn suit but the seams are a bit leaky so no good for winter anymore.

Sola Titanium 5/3 - About 8 years old but in pretty good nick as it got a full refurb.

Both size M (I'm 5'9 with a 40" chest and the Rip Curl is quite snug at that size).

Free to a good home.

PM me

Sola wetsuit still available if anyone wants it.

Would it fit me at 5'6"? And what do the numbers mean? (5/3) I know nothing about wetsuits but was thinking of getting something cheap (or free) for DWS/messing about in the sea on the Isle of Man, Irish sea = cold water.
If you think it would be suitable FD I'll take it off your hands.
Cheers
Nik

5/3 means 5mm for torso and 3mm for arms and legs. I use the same thickness for messing about in the sea here, and it is fin, so should be OK for the IoM

Might be a bit long, but you can always turn up or trim arms and legs if rest is an OK fit.

Cheers Chris.
Hmmm, the chest is going to be about right, the waist will be too large and obviously the limbs too long. But turn ups are all the rage aren't they? Is snug fit critical? I don't mind looking like a twonk if the wetsuit will still be functional.
Is it possible to cut down the arms/legs if they really are ridiculous?
What the hell, FD I'll take it, I'll PM you.

It'll be fine Nik. If it is too long (though I think it'll be OK) you can always trim an inch or two off the arms and legs. I'll respond to your PM.

If you are just going to be using it for splashing about in the sea it should be fine. The crucial bit is around the neck and chest, if it is baggy around the waist you can always cinch it in with a chalkbag belt! Just take scissors to it or turn up if too long.

Are you parents Chinese?  Did they bind your feet, 'cause you have exceptionally small feet for someone of your stature Tom  :o

Amazing what they go for on fleabay. I bought one for about 8 quid, used it for 3 years, then sold it for a tenner.

Orange prolite 4 thermarest, all perfect apart from the cells around where you put head have come unstuck and hence when you blow it up, they bulge. Almost like a cushion handily....

I have a load of climbing magazines if anybody wants them.  A mixture of OTE, Grimper, Friction and the odd Alpinist thrown in for good measure.

Want them to them to go in one lot.............

Ignoring that completely. If you happen to have Alpinist 2 or 3 I would be really keen (they are the only ones (up to issue 18) that I don't have - stupidly lent one to Robbins and have never seen it again, maybe didn't buy the other)

Would swap them for a bit of slightly used DMM gear!!

Can't take all the mags as I have completely filled one wall of my mums house with mags already.
