    It's good stuff. The sales could be the place for ya! Cash is king as the say!

    Do ya intend goin out alone? Ya know it's not recommend, ya need to get a buddy system on place!

    Yea I know but it's on a lake for the moment. Not venturing out to anything else until I have the feel of it. At least it came with a buoyancy aid so that's sorted! :)
    Jesus, trying to find a female wetsuit here and I'm beginning to think I'll just get one of ye to do it as you can enjoy all the other pictures:D:D

    Ya can give plenty of money for one, but I got a couple in lidl that I wear for the mackerel fishing in warmer weather and their grand!
    I like the cag this time of the year though!

    Something like this might suit me
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gul-Hydra-Ladies-Kayak-Cag-RED-GK0133-/251023426177

    And there are some nice wetsuits to be seen too. I'd never buy online without trying one on though. Although the lidl one will be bought regardless!

    Hahahaha I know, I know. But it's the style that I like.

    I'd be swimming in a large, no pun intended :D

    One of the short wetsuits is definitely on my list for summer :cool:

    I know exactly what style I want, now I just have to find if it exists:D
    Prefer the front zips too, handy when there's no-one to help unzip you!

    Dont talk to me! I used to (and still do at sea) use a drysuit, you'd need to dislocate your upper torso sometimes to get out of it. Indeed I often slam the jeep door on the cuff of my right hand to hold it while I wriggle out:D.

    It's a Peak uk Adventure Double cag I have for the Kayak. It has a front zip and is easy to stick on/off.
    Keep an eye on Adverts.ie, I see the odd cag for sale on it!

    Definitely will, I'm going to sell off a lot of my climbing gear shortly, get in some moolah. I'll prob use adverts as it's free so I can keep an eye out.
    I'm not too bad at the back zip but it sometimes looks like you've lost your marbles as you twist around trying to get your hand up to the zip!! I was often told to attach a short length of cord to the zip but I never remembered until the next time I was stuck.

    Done the twelve pubs last night and waking up after sleeping on the equivalent of a scaffolding plank in someone's apartment. Everyone else still snoozing away I have to sit here wide awake with head like a bag turnips.

    Dropping the phone in a pot hole full of water walking home on a back road at 4 in the morning is not good:(

    Drove over mine yesterday morning, was full sure I'd lost the phone in the taxi only to discover it had fell out of my pocket when I went forking silage to the cows at four in the morning.
    Went over it with the wheel of the tractor that morning putting in silage was the slimmest I phone ever made after I was finished with it:rolleyes:

    You bring a tear to my eye every morning with your posts
    Enjoy them
    It was only yesterday I was at it
    But now I'm a family man which is good too
    But still yearn every now and then for a hunt or bit of madness

    Did that a few years ago with a jeep, but luckily enough the ground was so wet that it sank into the ground and wasn't damaged. Didn't know I lost it from my pocket until I noticed a glow coming from the ground in the field

    I often spent 20 minutes trying to get out of my drysuit :( must put a length of cord on mine. On another note found a cow this morning who had taken a tumble off a cliff. Oldish cow and I hadn't seen them yesterday. Had to bring her to the shed in the transport box but she looks to me like she ain't going to do it :(
