Beulah Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hmmm, if it was in my Paypal account it would be binoculars, binoviewers or a Nifty Fifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Base layers make all the difference and they are reasonably cheap Endura winter tights, for want of a better description.Helly Hansen half zip long sleeve base layerSealskinz socksTotal about £100 and you will be as warm as toast if you wear them under your usual clothes.I fell asleep in my shed last year, inbetween observations, wearing this gear and it was very cold indeed, I didn't wake up dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike73 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I agree with getting something warm but I'd get a good down jacket/coat, hunt around online and see if you can pick up a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
