remember yrs ago a few of us drove from Wales down around Glastonbury way for a nights lamping....pulls up and says who got the battery ??? turned out we had 3 lamps but no batteryfew too many spliffs lol...ended up taking the spare battery off the  hilux and taking it in turns to carry itnever again.....wasn't fun my turn legging  it across a field in the dark while being hunted down by about 50 cows with calfs....my f***ing mates left me the cnuts and were rolling around pissing themselves ....while I was surrounded and using a piece of BT rope swinging wildly fighting them off....proper shit my pants tbf....and to top it off.....2 weeks later .. a fine through the post for not paying when we left the truck in the servicescheeky cnuts wanted 120 notes

lithium is more than a game changer.....could be the difference between getting trampled  into the dirt ......or saving your life

You got a beddy/grey or beddy/whippet mort?

Ive had a few Beddy/whippets a Beddy/grey and others with heinz in the mix.As edible fur and feather dogs they gave me some true lurcher experiences,ferreting,lamping,general mooching about,retrieving off water and out of pheasant woods and the bigger types i owned managed a few decent hares,the smaller ones had a knack of lifting hares they put out of their seats and were snaffled up before they got into their stride.I never owned one that was comfortable with fox,ive seen a Beddy/Grey that did far better than mine,yet it was far more important for me, at the time, to hunt far more edible quarry and i never rated a lurcher that could knack a fox yet struggle at proper lurcher work.I went another route in my lurcher owning cycle and and wanted a proficient edible dog that was a better Coursing hound and worked better with the terriers when a fox was pursued.Im of the opinion now i lost more than i gained when i changed hunting direction.

My lamping career started with wax jackets,ex post office canvas mailbags and 12volt acid car batteries,a few years later we had the luxury of second hand motorbike batteries from a mate at Colin Appleyards at a fiver a time,we hauled 2 of them each to get a decent stint in,in the Dales.I still own the scars on my calfs from acid leakage and went through a few jackets a season with acid rot.

There was an article in earthdog maybe twenty years ago about beddy grey xs, very nice animals they were to and mostly used for fox if my memory is correct. Anyone else remember it or knew of the dogs?
