pips_pekins Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have decided to buy DH a compass for Christmas as this morning whilst out cycling he got lost Having decided that is what I want to get him, I don't know where to start. There seem to be so many different makes and I am not really sure what would be most suitable or how much I would need to spend to get a decent one that will last. I was thinking of spending around £25. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for and where I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Seconded. You really have to have a good reason not to buy a Silva compass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Go to Millets if you have one (or try online). They have 40% off at the minute. As above, Silva are THE one to have! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pips_pekins Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Went to Millets today and bought a Silva Expedition and a lot of other things seemed to jump into the bag at the same time! With 40% off and some items 3 for 2 or BOGOFs, it would be rude not too I think the 40% off ends today at 4pm so thank you Hazel for suggesting it.

pips_pekins Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wow, you did very well with the socks. I was after some socks as well and a fleece and 3 pairs of slippers and 2 pairs of snow shoes and a pair of lightweight walking shoes for OH and a handwarmer and some thermals... OK, didn't really go in for all that but some how left with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
