Free: Various tiling grouts etc (Norbiton KT1) I have 4 part used bags of tilling grouts (plus a couple of other related items) 1) 2.8kg from a 5kg bag of Wickes 'Grey' 2) 1.3kg from a 5 kg bag of Mapei 'Beige 132' 3) 1.2kg from a 3kg bag of UniBond 'White' 4) 1kg from a 2kg bag of Mapei 'Jazmin 130' plus 850 g from a 2kg bag of Wickes quick set mortar. Though these have been in store a while, all appear to be good still. Also a nice lot - No, I didn't count them - of tilting spacers, 2mm and 4mm. Some of these have been used and have traces of adhesive or grout but all are serviceable. Would anyone like any or all of these?

Free: Ski Mountaineering Boots (Norbiton KT1) Gifted Scapa Denali Ski Mountaineering boots, size 44, UK 11. Designed for touring bindings, but fit most, though not all, alpine bindings. I got these specifically for the classic Chamonix - Zermatt 'Haute Route' and used them for downhill skiing since. Unfortunately my feet have changed shape and I can no longer use them. A nice touch is the removable inners for use in mountain huts or simply ease of drying/warming. Unlike most downhill boots, this style of boot is actually comfortable to walk in! Plenty of life still for someone who wants to try ski-touring.
