OK, i`m keen, i will battle the weather BUT my question is, what do i wear? I have sat on the banks in about 3 t shirts, 2 jumpers, and a thick army coat, pair of jeans and socks and boots, YET i`m still freezing my b0!!ocks off!
so my question is what should i wear, any good stuff available, aint a lot of ££ so can`t spend too much...but out of interest whats the best? Also planning on spending a night out soon, when i get my carp rod....what will i need for that ? Chris [ 06.

Re: Clothing look at http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk/
they have the Shakespeare thermal suit on offer this combined with a fleece base layer should keep you as warm as toast. You could couple this with thermal boots but I have reverted back to 4/5 seaon walking boots with decent socks as they are warmer and more comfortable to walk any distance in. [ 06.

Jeans a no-no for warmth. Down to the surplus store for gortex over-trousers and a pair of fleece strides. Boots okay if insulated, or a loose fit with wool socks.

Chris
I had the shakespeare 2 piece thermal suit on on saturday. Does keep you very warm. The Derri boots I had on are very warm but a little uncomfortable to walk distances in. I am going to revert back to walking boots for walking distances. Have a look in IYCF I am sure you can get the suit in there for £30-£35. -------------------- Paul

I invested in a pair of 'wychwood lugger boots,last year for £35 and they are brilliant. Not had cold toes since. Very confortable too. I also brought a one piecs thermal suit about 5 years ago and it has been worth every penny. you could probabley get both for about £70-£80.

Never tried a thermal suit, but thermal underwear certainly helps
