Hi Folks,
I'm an experienced runner but new to this fell running thingy. I'm doing the Snowdon International race in July and hoping to do some of the summer Shropshire fell races. So nothing too hardcore but methinks I'm going to need some new kit (but I don't want to spend too much cash as I'll probably hardly use any of it).
I've already got a whistle so that's sorted :-)
I need a compass - any recommendations? I guess the smaller the better.
I need windproof top and trousers. From having a look around these threads I was thinking of maybe the Montane Featherlite H2O Waterproof Shell (£48.92 from ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk) or the Montane Lite-Speed Jacket (£37.18). Any other suggestions?
For trousers...haven't really looked yet - any suggestions?
Maps - do people actually buy a map of everywhere they do races or just print them off multimap etc?
Finally I need a bag of some description to keep this stuff in - not sure what capacity I'd need...was thinking maybe of one of these but which one??

Footwear - I've got a pair of Inov8 Roclite 315's - they'll be good enough to get me started won't they?
Anything else I need?
Thanks in advance for any help
