Walking socks. Mnhq I want to ask about walking socks but where? Where do they go? There is no natural home for walking socks.

[Slubberdegullion]

But there would be if there was an Outdoorsy Shite (name suggested by RowanMN btw) topic.

Base layers are still homeless.

Thread in chat about walking up Snowdon, it will go poof for want of a good home.

Likewise Peak district thread.

And Starling murmurations.

An abundance of goretexy info all down the plug hole, or festering away in Aibu for all I know.

I bet someone on here knows all about some really serious and excellent walking socks but as there's no proper topic what can we do eh??

I guess I'll just have to soldier on with poorly wicking moist socks.

What is slubber doing with Matt Baker's wank socks?

Yes please to Outdoorsy Shite topic

Yes please for outdoorsy shite. Somewhere to discuss the dreadful urge to test out your emergency whistle to see if anyone does actually respond. And to get advice on gaiters (is there any actual point to those ankle ones?). And share amazing wildlife encounters.

Oh yes definitely re new topic for outdoorsy shite and wildlife encounters. I saw a magnificent pair of bearded tits the other day - oddly when I told my lesbian friends about this they couldn't stop laughing

Yes please, then I can post about geocaching too :)

Yes yes to a starling murmurations topic. In fact, give it the whole site and just tweak the name to Murmsnet. I love starling murmurations.

But can we have a topic too for when crowds of jackdaws fly past at dawn and dusk, chattering, and you can't even see them because it is misty and you just hear the cloud of chatter passing over you invisibly? Can we have a topic for that please.

And one for when hordes of sparrows go and hide in a bush to have an argument, so that it looks like the bush itself is tweeting. We could call that topic Twitter, if the name is still free.

DD1 has bamboo brasher ones from go outdoors. She says they're lovely.
Yes walking boot socks go at the back of the draw.
Not stuffed in your wellies for weeks without putting them to wash. DH I am looking at you.
Yes, you! You'll suddenly need them for work and it will be your own fault they stink!

I definitely want a Cuntry Shite topic so I can discuss Matt Baker's arse the burning issues of the day in Countryfile

I want to know how to rescue a delaminating rucksack so I'd vote for an outdoorsy shite topic.

Not sure you lot aren't too distracted with Matt baker to help me though...

Now gaiters are another thing I want to talk about. And the wild boar I encountered last week whilst out walking in the snow. These things matter and must not just fade to grey in chat.
Or maybe I could just start a whole load of threads that don't being there in AIBU?

But if this thread had been hidden away in a walking sock topic I may not have seen it, and as a result would not have been reminded that I must put my warm penguin socks into my hospital bag today. You, Slubber, would have been directly responsible for my having cold feet in labour. Are you comfortable with that level of responsibility?

Really a wild boar? How excellent! Was it fearsome and ravening? Or mild-mannered and busy?

DH has just bought seal skinz
A load of fake sealz were clubbed for his socks but he seems to like them

Well I can't let this go by, seeing as how I'm in the OP and everything.

That said, I can't remember where we stand on this. I think there was going to be some sort of topic-based loya jirga.

Anyway, do please carry on

You could have a one-in-one-out policy. I'm sure we could recommend something to abolish in exchange.

There appears to be a World Cup 2010 topic FGS.

I think we can be rid of that don't you?

Here. We could take up residence and campaign for better Walking Sock Information.

Sure socks are more interesting than football; especially football which happened 2 years ago.

We should stage a sit in and occupy the World Cup 2010 thread.

Ooooh...I'm adding a vote for outdoorsy thread.

Pleeeeese can we have one.

As for socks, I love my injinji toe socks.

Can we start a load of threads in the worldcup board and then ask mnhq to move them to rowanmumsnet outdoorsy shite board? I'm happy to make a start.

And let's face it, if I make a start, and its on an obscure board and nobody finds my posts, I won't look a twat because nobody has used the board for over a year...
