  1. Me and my brother and the two little lads are coming, hoping to get there on the Friday evening and then camp until the Sunday, really looking forward to it, hope the weather is kind Ade
  2. Really good write up JD, the amount you get out it sounds like you are never at home anyway!! Ade
  3. Hello All, I have just got myself a cocker pup from very good working lines and as it is my first gundog I would like some opinions on a book that I could buy to help me with training it. All opinions gratefully received. Thanks in advance Ade
  4. Very nice write up that,enjoyed reading that. Ade
  5. Got mine from Screwfix, useful when ferreting as well. Ade
  6. Great write up Martin and good to hear that you are able to drive again. Ade
  7. Kay Really like those, especially the way you do the black and white but leave some colour in, is that photoshop? Where did you take the pics by the way? Ade
  8. Cheers for the replies THat's an interesting site Stealthy, good spot on your part as well. I keep meaning to get up there to take some pics but I still haven't got round to it! One day though. Ade
  9. Am I the only one ??? Must be even rarer than I thought then!! Ade
  10. Thanks a lot for all of the replies Ade
  11. Hi All, Just wondered if any other residents of Staffordshire have seen a Red Kite. I know they are not rare in some parts, but I saw my first in this county on Saturday near to the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas. Before anyone says I do know the difference between a buzzard and a kite!! Look forward to hearing about any other sightings Ade
  12. Hi All, Wonder if any of you can offer any help. I have a pup coming soon, which will be kennelled outside. I have a wooden kennel and run and wondered if anyone knew where I could source some of the metal that people use to stop the pup chewing the exposed edges inside the kennel. Any help much appreciated, thanks Ade
  13. Looks very nice, well done indeed. Definitely one to remember Ade
  14. That about says it all! Ade
  15. I usually leave mine at least a year. Although if you wanted one for beating or something not too fancy I would perhaps bring one inside to dry that bit quicker. Don't let it get too warm though or it will split, then you could leave it as long as possible before working on it just before you needed it. If you cut some more each year then you always have some to work on when the mood takes you. Ade
  16. I have exactly the same issue with my Fabarm Eurolion, my gun will NOT cycle 65mm cartridges at all!!! 67mm or longer cartridges are no problem whatsoever, so my advice is stick with the longer cartridges Ade
  17. Very nice write up indeed, really enjoyed reading that Ade
  18. A really good bloke to deal with, shame he had been let down before by messers (but worked out well for me!!) Thanks again Ade
  19. Do you have any pics? Ade
  20. All, My Dad (whose nearly 70 )has been cage trapping a few grey squirrels in his garden that have been making a nuisance of themsleves round his bird feeder's. You know the score emptying them out and ripping the mesh and generally being annoying. Well today, my Mom went to answer a knock at the door and found herself facing 2 RSPCA 'inspectors', who said they had been made aware that squirrels were being trapped and wanted to know 'how he disposes of the caught ones' (Which he does by shooting them with an air rifle incidentally) My Dad not knowing any better and being a law abding
  21. Well done Martin. Fantastic write up, a great read and good news on the hare as well Ade
