If anyone can take the whole box of bits and make use of some of it, that would be great. Pretty sure the chemicals will be no good, but maybe some of the equipment etc?

Walking socks (Hunton Bridge WD4)
Gifted
18d
- 2 pairs of 1,000 Mile socks - purple and black wool blend (I think). These have white nylon? lining sewn in. Supposed to help avoid blisters. These are a bit too small for me so may suit size 5 or less. The Rohan pair are much smaller (possibly the wool blend reinforced heel and toe shrank in the wash?). Someone who walks and is very local might like to have a look.
