I bought several things in the US last season, whilst making a hell of saving, you have to watch out for duty if you carry them or post them.

I bought a whole new Spyder jacket and pants setup for 50% of the price in Europe, which is probably 20% cheaper than the UK in the first place. That was in November flying from Minnesota, so I could easily have been boarding so duty was never really gonna be a problem.

Quite glad I did not get stopped in April flying back from LA with a pair of brand new 380 GBP snowboard boots and no other gear mind :)

Along with a pair of Oakleys, I reckon I saved about 500 - 600 quid buying in the US.

Changing the topic slightly, I need recomendations for a good album to download. Flying to LA on Sunday and need some new music.....any ideas??

I am sure I can make at least some of it should it include a weekend.

We need to go skiing, or even better "riding"

It was the first time the Khyber pass had been carried by force (Alexander the Great is thought to have entered India in the fourth century BC through the Bolan pass to the south). After the tremendous successes of the early campaign, the catastophic defeat at Maiwand in the south of Afghanistan was redeemed by the triumph of the march from Kabul to Kandahar. After the War the British were able to establish a relatively stable and not entirely hostile regime, and Britain retained control of the passes and mountain provinces to prevent further threats. Needless to say, Scottish soldiers (the 78th Rossshire Buffs, later the Seaforth Highlanders) featured prominently in these actions.
