we caught more foxes than some of essex hunts

I will try and dig out some pics of Shep,black and white as I was doing D&P at the time,we never kept count to be honest,some very good weeks,Plonker had suzie,she was lethal on fox but equally dangerous on sheep :blink: We were lamping in essex when she just ran up to us,no one else around,maybe the previous owner dumped her?Fox was the obsession then,every single night after work,worse when chris came down for his holidays :laugh:

Don't expect to live somewhere scenic and peaceful.

When I was a kid 3 of us put a tenner in the kitty each and bought a derelict caravan,the rivets were popping out of the walls,door was almost dropping off etc :blink: We took it to London and parked up on grenade street in Limehouse,right opposite the cop-shop and under the DLR if anyone knows the area,we stayed there for 18 months,built a dog run on the side of the caravan(true story)for the three lurchers,one of us being not as honest as the other two :blink: wired the caravan up to the street lights for electricity,once we tired of the street so moved a hundred yards away to rich street,didnt have a happorth of bother in a year and a half except once a van-full of coppers came over to look us over after a sort of fight with a drunken guy,I put an irish accent on and they thought we were a tarmacing gang :D apart from that no problems :D We even expanded slightly and got a second caravan for guests,Coney Clucky from this forum used to pop down regular to lamp.

 

Thats a great story mate :thumbs: nearest I came to that was a week in Wanlockhead in an old VW caravanette in the middle of winter. I nearly died of hypothermia and had used all the calor gas for the cooker trying to keep warm at night. I was only 16 at the time and I hated every bloody minute I was there, this was way before mobile phones so I had to tough it out for the week till I got picked up again. :icon_eek:

i liked reading that mate,can we here a few more please

back to the caravan situation done a bit of research into this for a school asignment last yr,

easiest way to go about it is go into the council or to the land registry and look around mining areas many area which was highly mined the mines owned all the land the tracks the railway the lot,

just find an old track do a search on it and bobs your uncle it will more then likely come back unregistered as the mining companyy now wont exist,

i know what the authorities will say,every peice of land in the uk is owned,well that could be correct but if the land isnt registered and the owner doesnt even know they owbn it as it was a great great grandads.theres your free peice of land,

now to the easy bit the caravan lol

This is called adverse possession. There was a tramp in london in the news a little while ago cos he squatted in a big london mansion for the required period of time then claimed the place as his own. It was worth millions! All the posh c**t neighbours were up in arms about it! :)
