Gore-Tex Winter Skills Competition Winner Revealed

We have a winner for our Gore-Tex winter skills weekend competition and he is - cue fanfare, flashing lights, etc - OUTDOORSmagic member Chris Ward from Wrexham.

Chris wins a great winter skills weekend for himself and one other person at the Welsh National Mountain Centre at Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia where some of the best outdoor professionals in the business will be teaching him how to stay shiny side up in British winter mountain conditions.

To keep dry and comfortable, Chris and his companion, will also have brand new three-ply Gore-Tex jackets from Mountain Equipment, either a men's Ogre or a women's Nanga Parbat depending on where the bumps are...

The answer to the question, if you were wondering, was that there is no time limit on the Gore-Tex guarantee, it is based on the satisfaction of the customer. That is, so long as you look after your gear properly:-)

So congratulations to Chris, we should be be reporting back on his weekend, so watch this space. We'll have more great competitions up soon.
