Hopefully he hasn't gotten too freaked out by the fireworks

I've never worked out what that criss cross elastic is useful for on my small back pack. It never seems to give enough room to stuff your waterproof in if you find you're too hot and it's too narrow to put an OS map in. Am I missing something obvious - it just seems redundant on a small backpack?

I suspect it's just fashion.

I once asked a shop assistant in an outdoorsy place what that vertical line of webbing, stitched so it loops up every few inches, which you find on the outside of some smallish backpacks is actually for.

To attatch your ice axe, was what he told me.
My retort, accompanied by a droll expression was; D'you get much call for that in the UK? :rotfl:

Buggalugs is a she, and fireworks don't bother her.

Don`t scoff GQ I used to own an ice axe, so did hubbie and I was trained on how to use it. Ok got rid of it when babies came along, no more mountain climbing then, Scafell pike, snowdon in the winter, even had crampons, sigh ( for the old days)

But on a town bag?!?

I've done an alpine traverse; the Tongariro Crossing. Not being inclined to risk life or limb (or use an ice axe) I hiked the TC in November, when nearly all the snow was gone. A pal did it one month earlier, when it was definately ice axe territory.

Very. Also,strange is the sudden resignation of the Lebanese prime minister. Must be some proper serious threat to him.

Let's hope all this is contained.
