gnipper 6,435 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Spent a week on a barge as a kid travelling on the Leeds Liverpool and it went through all sorts of places, factories one minute proper rural the next and the wildlife never batted an eye. Decent air rifle you'd never need a butchers shop. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,261 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Lost count of the amount of kingfishers I saw, sika and roe just peering out the bankside foliage buzzards ,herons ,four sparrow hawks hunting the tow paths it has been great I done this one as a favour and for the experience but doing my calculations I am looking at doing it as a profession if you can get the work I could travel for about 3months of the year and bank around 20k at the current rates they charge, I have the tickets I need so only expense would be insurance, I see opportunities everywhere I go lol 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
