Re: Digital verses analog radio

Re: Hayfever

Easy rider not sure if it will help but you can buy Piriton liquid over the counter?

She already takes 15 mg a day too...

Re: Rucksack

Can't comment on which is best for your buck but few seem waterproof.
IDE want mine waterproof ,who wants wet kit ?.

And I don't want to keep getting out the rain cover ,buy a waterproof bag in the first place that's of size and comfy.
Amazing just how quickly the lot gets wet if you get caught out.
