Well, after a surprisingly easy morning shopping, my neckweight is sorted. I went to Ocean Leisure at Embankment tube station. They sell lead shot both in sachels and loose, both for the same price. I recommend buying the sachels (either 1, 2 or 3kg) as they're a hell of a lot easier to carry. The price was about ₤4 per kg for either loose or sachel.
Then I walked straight across the road where there was a bike shop and after explaining what I was doing for the second time that day, I bought 3 inner tubes for ₤10. Then on the way home I went into a cheapy store and couldn't find any clips, but funnily enough I found the exact clip I wanted on a dog collar for ₤2. So ladies and gents, I give you Rufus the neckweight
So all up I spent about ₤50 (₤15 on the neckweight I made, with ingredients for another 2 or 3). If i'd searched around a bit more I probably could have knocked a few pounds off, but the convenience was worth it. Plus the money saved would have only been spent on beer anyway.
It's 3kg which is probably too much, but I can always do more pack stretching or wear my 3mm O'neill wetsuit. I bought it for statics but it has a good neck seal so it might be ok for dynamics too.
Cheers,
Ben
