Police seek man who declared love for child - Press & Journal

Turned up in our village yesterday at a school fundraiser, he also tried to befriend my family, and actually talked himself into my house. Later on I luckily remembered a conversation 6 months back that I had and the guy fitted the descrip, anyway I called cop shop and a few favours.

Anyway , turns out he has been camped outside the village in the forest for 3wks, 200m from where my daughters feed and look after horses!

Anyway with the help of the vilagers keen eye and especially matt Ob we pestered the [maybe about 50 calls] police all day today about his where abouts, I understand he was lifted an hour ago.

There is a good chance he will be out in 24hrs, please be vigilant, he is a real creepy guy Matt o B will back me up on this one!

I don't want to raise a vigilanty mob but it is best to know where these folk are.

It's been a stressfull couple of days, my wife and kids are really freaked out, if you see him phone the cops, make his life hell

cheers stevie, always knew mum regretted having you!!!!!!!!

Now in full time employment as forester!!!!!!!

Paracetamol, ralgex, brufen and viagra

A group of highly drug and Alcoholic dependant foresters from the Scottish School of Forestry are going to be embarking on their yearly raid of England on the 24th of May for 1 week

Lock up your Sheep!!!!!!!

We are staying at Sparsholt and are keen to meet up with anyone for a pint, we don't have a clue about any other tree apart from Sitka Spruce so anyone wanting intelectual tree talk stay clear.

We are visiting Westonbirt Arboreatum one day and a few other sites but would be keen to hear of any sites/forests that people feel may be of interest.

There will be a group of 9 students made up of

2 vegans [cornwall hippies]

I crazy tall druggie chick [weaggie]

1 wild essex boy [don't ask]

1 wide boy from london [you'll know him]

1 crazy highlander [:rock:]

1 decent chap [me]

1 shy highlander [he used to work in thetford ]

another guy from Inverness who doesn't conform to stereo typing

Oh and 1 lecturer , who is clinicaly insane

Note- we are nice folk,like to drink and haven't a scooby about trees and stuff.

Because of our substance abuse we have never been allowed to climb trees and s*** like that, we do however like big harvesters and forwarders.

So if you want a pint or 2, can give info on cheap lap dancing bars in winchester or budget drinking holes in and around the college , please get in touch.

You do see them now and then, I've seen quite a few, other folk have been on the ground all their lives and never seen one.

I was involved in some work a couple of years ago, setting up some projects, here's a link to some info

Cairngorms National Park Authority: Search Results

Northshots ... images from Nature

Highland Tiger : The Scottish Wildcat

Firewood is the answer, no money in milling small scale as the quality won't be in it, that stuff at Nodsdale is hybrid isn't it?

An old post , but I'll throw in my pennies worth anyway

Because of the spec for poles, they have to be scraped by hand, rollers on power feed dig too deeply into the log, hence mm felling rather than a harvester.

The powersaw attachments were too heavy and slower than a decent bloke with a spade.

I was talking to one of the pole buyers yesterday, the going rate for peeling is £4 -£6 a pole dependent on size, some lads are earning £180 -£240 a day, they surely earn it but theirs no outlay

Scottish school of forestry do a BSc Sustainable Forest Management (with Forest Conservation or with Arboriculture and Urban Forestry)

So you can specialise in either Arb or Forestry.

Good luck

As above, no need to climb.

Best to get a copy of the "blue book"

must admit I've never heard of anyone selling single small loads of chip, not sure if they'd take it , remember it would have to be cut to their spec. , say 2.5

Price wise I'm not sure right now but you'd be looking at £7 - £9 a ton last I heard, not a huge amount more.

I would probably look at softwood wood fuel market or chipping for fuel and selling private.

These are worse case scenarios though

Look around for local saw mills they might take any red logs for fencing material and possibly palletwood.

Good luck

The best thing for the site would be the removal of the lp and replanting with a more viable crop , long run it'll be worth while but for the conversion you'll probably take a hit, not sure what the position is with grants in England right now but give FC a shout, you might get £ for restructuring or exotic removal for the site.

You get what you put in!

Colleges wont hold your hand the same way schools will, if the college hasn't time to give you climbing practice, get of your arse and get some in yourself , go round any local companies and offer you services in return for experience.

Good college work along with good practicle experience will surely give you a good worker, as long as the possess the skills needed, and not suffer from vertigo!!!!

Thats why I'm in forestry! 1 cut at the bottom , bish bash boom!

Go for ecology, Aberdeen is pretty good, I'd stay away from countryside/conservation courses, the old sciences are still in demand, i wish I did ecology , big demand worldwide

Pinus sylvestris

Made up some sloe gin, sloe vodka & some raspberry vodka last week

gmann what dose RFS AA FC what dose all that mean you can tell i dont have a clue Thanks all for you help so far woudent have a clue on what i should be doing

Start googling , forestry commission, Royal Forestry Society, Institute of chartered Foresters, I'm sure there will be trade magazines in the college , read through them.

College is not School , you are expected to go out and investigate and find info. yourself, but I'm sure that if you are struggling and you seek help from tutors , you should get it.

Good luck

well up here in north ayrshire we have 27% tree cover, you guys down south must of been crap at knitting in the old days, we would just stick on a jumper and not cut down all the trees.

Sorry wee bro but you're wrong.

Ayrshire[as a whole] 21%, North Ayrshire 8% which is half the Scottish 16.78%

Suprisingly nice arn't they!!!

Cheddar and jam on digestives, a classic

Hapy Birthday wee bruv.

:birthday::birthday:

Kids will call you later

Kania and Fenns are very effective but if there are reds present then you must use a live catch, covering the cage makes them far more effective.

Although shooting is much better fun, trapping and poisoning are by far the most effective.

Matt

Had a look at facebook, you can't put down the visor cause there's an f'in fag in your mooth :scared1:

Sorry I'm a bit late in getting on to this thread.

i'm a LANTRA trainer and part time lecturer and dislexic[not too bad though], my wife is a languages teacher and also a dyslexia tutor and has done a fair bit of study on the subject as well as turn 100's of kids lifes around[not often I give her any praise]

She diagnosed me when I was 30, up till then I struggeled through just hiding from paper work etc. , I didn't have too bad a time at school in fact I was pretty much in the middle but told that I was lazy as I was capable of a lot more but just didn't bother with spelling /memorizing .

The college I work with has an absoltely fantastic learning support network, howevever you need to put in the work to get there like anyone else, infact a fair bit more , but thats life.

I lecture in Gamekeeping and like arb this subject draws a high % of people who have dificulties at school.

Must people who are dyslexic have excellent spacial awareness and are very practical, these skills to me are far more important in these fields that spelling!!!!! but there is spell check.

I try and bring as much hands on training as possible as well as visualisation rather than text, using comic sans text size 14 font on light blue paper helps many people. Also let students tape and video lectures.

I tell student Dyslexia,dyspraxia etc are not reasons for not doing well , they are only obstacles and once you have worked out how to get round an obstacle you are on the winning straight.

We had 2"'s of snow at Coire Cas car park last fri. and it lasted for 3 days!!!!!!!!!!!

my eldest sons first ever sports day at nursery.:001_smile:oh and me winning the dads race:001_cool:

 

ps. could a moderator please rotate this for me, i have tried and cant get it too work. thanks

The zander has obviously inherited his uncles athletic proess [and not his spelling]

Thats the Blair cousin medal count up to 5 this week, and 2 more race days to go!!!! World domination here we come:party:

I'd have just felled it! Only prob is Alser is pretty crappy firewood:-]

Get ArchView, it's the system that fc and everyone else is using .

Just printing OS maps out and drawing on them with PC art packages is pretty mickey mouse .

Get a decent GIS system [with training, I'll give you a 5% discount:001_tt2:], the initial outlay will be high but it will be worth it in the long run. and get a decent gps as well
