TOMO 27,246 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I try to get out 3 times. Sometimes 4, That will usually include what I call a big day up north , either lamping or ferreting,, then depending on the moon ,,2 quik 1 hour sessions round where I live ,, driving in the motor with the dog running along side lamping a few bits and bobs,,,, if the moons up,,,,, it will change to day walking for a few races, sometimes 4 or 5 races, twice a week.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I road walk for 60 to 90 mins every morning, try to swap at least 2 of these for a mooch at first light, then lamping at least twice a week but usually 3 times, plus Sunday morning I usually go for a good mooch, anything from 2 hours to 5 hours.
