Trail's second batch or rare outdoor stuff has gone live on eBay - what price tea for life at Pete's Eats or Alan Hinke's Gore-Tex one-piece fresh from Dhaulagiri then?
The nice people over at Trail Magazine are selling off their left
over bric a brac on eBay again and as with last month's auction, all
proceeds go to a very good cause, namely the Mountain Rescue Council
(England and Wales)...
You can see the full selection of Trail's latest one-off specials
together here
but we've put together a quick run down with individual links because
we're nice like that :-)
So get bidding - the close date is 20 July, so you still have a
fair bit of time. You'll be glad to know that Trail now has a 100-
per-cent positive feedback score.
Alan Hinkes's Oversuit
[ref:
6104212589]
'Fresh' from Hinkesy's successful ascent of Dhaulagiri is Alan's
very own, one-off, one-piece Gore-Tex oversuit which was manufactured
to his exacting specifications by his sponsor Berghaus. Ideal for
climbing 8,000-metre peaks, possibly overkill for UK hill use. We're
not sure if Alan's cleaned it since his return...
Mountains of the Mind - First edition plus proof
[ref:
6104212732]
Award-winning mountain literature from Robert Macfarlane that
triiumphed in the 2003 Guardian First Book Award. The lot is not
only a signed first edition of a classic in the making, but also an
uncorrected reviewer's proof.
Montane Superfly Jacket
[ref:
6104212925]
This is the lightweight eVENT jacket that won Trail's waterproof
lightweight jacket award and, coincidentally, totally impressed us
here on OUTDOORSmagic with its combination of weight, breathability,
cut and protection.
It's not just a standard Superfly though, it's one of a limited
edition of 200 jackets in a very cool graphite, that's 'grey' to
you', colour scheme that's otherwise not available till later in the
year. Our test jacket is in the graphite and it looks awesome. It's
brand new too, so you get to choose your own size.
Free Tea For Life At Pete's Eats
[ref:6104213108]
Fantastic, what you get is a special card which entitles you to a
free pint of tea for life every day from the definitive mountain cafe
in Llanberis High Street, 'unless Pete's Eats is wiped from the face
of the earth by a meteor'.
Brilliant. Particularly if you happen to live in Llanberis.
Otherwise you'll be spending a lot on transport...
