transporting ski boots

If anyone else agrees with Tony on this I would apologise most sincerely for any hurt or distress caused by my innocent remark.

I was merely suggesting that thefts seem to happen more to English people.

Lighten up Brucie, and try and understand when someone is having some banter with you. Hurt or distress? Come on, get real. I merely picked up on your comment about it being an English thing about stealing stuff, which of course is totally untrue. Your comment actually came across as if to suggest it was an English thing to steal things, not to have had them stolen. I havent come across it anywhere, but have heard of places where skis do tend to go missing when parked outside bars etc, but I wouldnt want to speculate of the race of the thieves. They could quite easily have been Scottish though I guess.

Anyway, chill out Brucie, keep your hair on, and try and tune in with the funny side of life )

That'll be the problem then... I wondered why packing my boots was so hard; I just need to take my feet out of them first...

But back on-topic... get one of those wheely bags with a boot compartment - mine just about tips 20kg when full (including the boots) and is almost always the only bag I need to check in.

If you do use a separate boot bag make sure it's a strong one (boot bags are often used as promo items and some are little stronger than a Tescos carrier bag). Wrap the boots with fleeces etc so they're well protected, use a padlock and mark the bag so it's unique.

Your boots (assuming you've spent some time getting ones that fit you perfectly) are very valuable - take care of them!
