ON THE SCROUNGE
- 18 January 2010 19:4438175Evening forumites, I'm after borrowing a piece of equipment and I could think of no better group to ask.
I would like to borrow if possible an army type burgen ( rucksack ) or similar.
It has to be this type as it will be spending a week in the Welsh mountains in the middle of February. It also has to be strong and large enough to carry a lot of equipment.
Heres hoping.....over to you guysgrass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 18 January 2010 19:5738177Sorry Ian, can`t help you there mate, and I don`t think Vic could help you either as the UKIP are currently doing a burgen ban.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered. - 18 January 2010 20:0138179OUCH. stop it Colin.
