Same with most, ground rock hard here in most places, the heat is a killer any time after 6 am. I get out over boggy fields next to bogs where its a bit softer from about 4 am to 6, then around 10 to 11pm, when its at its coolest. Once we get some rain and the ground softens a bit., ill be out..

I like to build them gradually six weeks is about right I think . I always remember my rugby days I know it's warm but it ain't gonna kill them or me done right.

Thats what it is Fazza. High late crops and this heat i normal get in from work cool down for a few hours with a few cold uns as you say and have a wonder around 9 ish at night for an hour or so when it cools down that bit

just walks up and down the lanes with mine, in this heat, no way am i risking them putting something out of the undergrowth and have no water available to submerge them in to cool them down. accidents like that are not accidents
