Hahaha That's got to be a reply from a very single and very bitter man with slightly too much of an engine obsession!

No, it's not natural at all. But neither is our presence in the landscape in such huge (and unsustainable?) numbers. We have destoyed so much of our natural habitat, that a helping hand to preserve the little we have left if not only justified, but a moral obligaton. IMO

For a small fee, I'm more than willing to sit in front of the TV all eve' and give you my personal recommendations

Ecology isn't my feild, but as I understand it, heath and moorland is a very rare habitat in this country and to maintain the areas we do have, we have to intervene to stop the natural regen' that would ultimately return it to woodland without the large native browsers that used to exist. While I certainly don't agree with the trapping of predator species, moorland provides excellent habitat for a multitude of native, and often uncommon, species of invertebrates, reptiles, plants and so on. If the only way we can keep such habitat is by the rearing and hunting of game birds, then that has to be a good thing, surely? It's got to be better than another golf course or housing estate.

What the hell have we ever done to you Rob, to warrant you posting that??? It must've been bad

Er, that's tonight, I mean. Oops At the risk of being told that I watch far too much TV... There's a great little piece on here about tree pruning in the biomes at The Eden Project. They do it with... Helium balloons lifting the climbers!!! Catch it on the BBC iPlayer if you can, it's about ten mins in.

A la Top Gear with the indestructable pickup? I was impressed with the accurate reversing. I didn't ever have lessons for chainsaw tantrum destruction when I was taking driving lessons

I'm not too keen on off road yurting for the night, but as lond as I can get a hot shower in the morning then I'm up for chipping in with the over night accomodation, wherever that may be. -
I think that could become one of your best sellers

i Player - it's the way of the future, my deah. My brain's still in recovery position from information overload at Barcham's on Tuesday, I think, and a bit of quality TV and duvet time keeps me out of trouble

The bluebells are looking gorgeous there T. I would never have guessed that they are so prevalent from the foray last autumn. It's a great time to be in the woods as all the ground flora hasn't been entirely shaded out yet. Did you get bored of using your shiny new bling climbing gear already and go for a bimble instead? -
Note to self: get zoom lens for photograghing stingy, buzzy things next time.

You can join in the leather waistcoat appreciation society as well, if you like Sorry, yes m'lud, I am very guilty of going seriously off topic.

That all really depends on the definition of "work" Does a couple of hours smiling sweetly at a bunch of obnoxious old jakeys and listening to their poor attempts at chat ups count? If so, then I've been working darn hard! . It's not anywhere near as exciting as an emergency call out, but at least I wasn't sweating my proverbials off in a pair of ballistics. And I get to meet some really "interesting" people. Arrggghhhh! Is poochly getting old and doddery? He may just surprise you and happily go on for years yet, plodding on in his own happy way. I don't envy you being a responsible owner of an aging pet. I had to have my cat put down not that long ago after 18 years of companionship and it was awful. I knew I was doing the right thing by the dear old mankey beastie, but it was still the hardest decision. You'll know what the right thing to do is when you need to make that decision. And then you can get a Staffy and look hard and hang out with da local yout'

Cheers Paul. It's just as well I never got entirely au fait with the 2005 version if they're changing it again

You could get some serious mileage done on a beast like that. Look at all that panier space - you could fit most of my wordly possessions in there and still have space left over for a spare duvet or two Is this the start of your very own Long Way Diagonally? And have you informed Missus Rupe that she does, in fact, love motorbikes and that she's really looking forward to touring with you while you're going through you Charley Boreman phase?
-
Nah, go for the 'bike instead. You get to dress up as a Power Ranger that way

I've only been there the once and I thought something similar. Within literally metres of a huge city, you have this amazing, wild escarpment. Stunning

To completely and utterly derail this thread, how's this for a suggestion for combining your obvious love of Harleys and walking the dog. No know you want to:

Sounds of sharp intake of breath... That's ridiculous!!! Arb' is a notoriously low paid industry, even at consultancy level and coming out of Uni' with that level of dept is crazy. There are far too few people taking higher education in forestry and arb' as it is. This is going to make it almost impossible for anyone who wants to get their degree and further themselves
