Re: Sheepskin
Don't suppose you're in central France next week any chance? From the 4th July our local bastide town, Le Dorat, hosts the World Sheep Shearing Championship. Unmissable, surely? And I guess there will be the odd sheepskin available.
We'll go along for a look, but don't know what the tickets cost. Wouldn't want to get fleeced....

Re: Sheepskin
Got mine from the Polish guy with the leather stall at Cirencester market. £30 if memory serves me right.

Re: Sheepskin
Cheers Spike, I'm in Glasgow so it'll need to be internet.
Had a numb bum after 140 miles at the weekend and have previously had the virtues of a sheepskin extolled upon me so figured it's worth a try.

Re: Sheepskin
Mine’s a full skin doubled over with a £3.99 self inflating sit mat in between. Can be a bit like sitting on a jelly if over inflated, but comfortable for many hours.
