rubber bands

[biffo]

Does anyone know where I can get some strong rubber bands to seal my oversuit to my wellies- I have heard that old inner tube is good, but where do I get that ?

Hmmm..... why not try ATS, your local tyre fitters or any garage?

Failing which I imagine Ebay has a comprehensive assortment of old inner tubes.

Not many cars have inner tubes nowadays - usually only those with wire wheels.

A motorcycle dealer may be a better bet to get an old discarded inner tube (although the diameter will probably be smaller).

if the diameter of your tube is to small - cut your snoopy loops (as I belive the correct terminoligy is) at an angle across the tube for a bigger loop.

We had trouble getting inner tubes too (for our croesor trip). Tried Kwickfit but they were like " you what? nobody uses inner tubes anymore"

My dad got some from a local farmer he was chatting to in the pub - Front Tractor tyres.

BTW, unsurprisingly, duct tape works pretty well!

I find the ducks fall off after a good wetting... er I mean the tape sorry. Ask mole he knows about this.

Whats all the fuss about, just get wet your going to anyway.

Drill a small hole in the toecap of each welly, then as You walk along You can squirt little jets of water out of each boot

Cracking idea!

er but ideally you want a valve thingy so the water goes out but doesnt come in.

I have about 10 tiny holes in the front of each wellie and it's like a garden sprinkler on each foot.

Get your feet wet, it's only water as long as you have wetsuit socks everything should be dandy.
