Thanks for all the assistance, very helpful. I have to say this is the most welcoming board I've ever joined

Fortunately we only leave on Friday, so I've got a bit of time to pack yet. I believe I can find a nylon strap for my sporran - all my leather belts seem too broad for the job.

I doubt I'll be off the trails, but it is chilly, so I'll look for some hose long enough to pull up properly - I was a bit wary they'd look like football socks, so I'll look for the thick topped kind. I thought maybe green as now I look, maybe I'm a bit all blue (and I'm pretty cheerful!). Would flashes have to match the tartan?
