Anyway, the end of the world starts at 6pm, so i'm not too bothered about anything today.

I read about it on a blog, so it must be true.

He would; knows more about pragmatic UK lightweight backpacking than anyone else I have read about on a domestic forum.

Pity injury means he has not been able to put it into practice for a couple of years.

Someone should set up a blog for Mike to use. Make it real nice and tell him how to put stuff on it. Reckon it would be interesting. Even if its only for his annual rants.

BTW When you lot of computer experts were posting away I was up in t'fells of Eastern Lakes getting blown about and trying to navigate with a dodgy compass that kept deciding to change the direction of north every ten seconds or so by anything up to 20 or 30 degrees!! Any of you computer experts know what to do to sort it out. Or at least tell me the best compass to get to replace it. I've had one of those little blue silva ones, another which was a bit bigger with a curved bit at the lanyard end and my last one was a type 4 expedition one. I have seen a £18 mini sighting compass, are they any good?

LiL, what you need to do, see, is get a little leaf, a needle, and a mug of water. If you rub the needle on your sleeve, then put it on the little leaf in the mug of water, it will eventually settle on magnetic north.

There. Saved you a fortune. I hope you're not in a hurry though...

Which end of the leaf/needle points north?

It wouldn't be an issue if somebody would only put a password on the ward PC.

I cultivate a manly outdoor facial stubble but shave back my pubes (for hill hygiene reasons, you understand). Where do I stand on this?

You need to shave your pubes more often if you can stand on them.

Or dreadlocks might be ok.
