  1. This one? http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/26020-new-stihl-strimmers-i-didnt-think-they-could-improve-them-so-much.html#post432213
  2. Cold water is great for you. The victorian created tidal baths because they knew/thought it was good for the joints, and apparently a lot of doctor types are looking back at that sort of thing and agreeing with them. It is surprising how warm it makes you feel, and how much clearer your head is afterwards! having said that I have taken a few days of in the winter before... All I will say is try it. Find a pool somewhere and just jump in! Its great for kids as well, and if you are a clever sort can be rather romantic too (not with children... obviously. )
  3. And wild swimming I do lots of canoeing. And cold water swim (In rivers) at least once a day. "Waters the source, it will set you free if you let it." Is the closest I have come to religion.
  4. Multi day wild camping in this Shooting dinner with this And some other stuff that I shall try and get pictures of
  5. I would have thought that a combination would be the ideal. Hardwoods, for planking, firewood, carving, coppice, and whatever and then some Crimbo trees there as a little top up every year. Thats what I would do anyway
  6. At college we have been taught that Christmas trees are one of the best things you can grow in terms of income/work ratio. Am I right in thinking you work on a 7 year rotation Big Fell? Sam
  7. I love the idea. I'm not in a pension type position yet but I really like the idea. Having someone on/near site for doing guided walks, educating school kids or whatever would seem a good idea I think
  8. I've noticed him around about with his shiny new cutandclimb jacket on...
  9. Was that Doug from the Barony college in that video Yve? Looks good though
  10. Discount one vote "Groundsman/forestry, dont suffer" Sorry chaps
  11. Maybe thats where I'm going wrong?
  12. Should be so long as I have time off work and the money for a train ticket
  13. Folks sake. Not being funny but who is messed up enough to copy something that literally hold's someone else life. If that fails at the wrong point you got one dead hangdog or arb. This riles me.
  14. If my schoolboy latin is up to scratch then it is a dictated lecture. He says...
  15. Get the Landy mate, worth every bit of the extra money and far superior than both the mentioned above. The only thing you can compare them too is the Ford Ranger/HiLux etc. type pickups, and they still aren't as good.
  16. I have owned two of their rifles at various points, decent muskets both of them, I believe they used to make all the firearms used by the Swedish army at one point I'll try and find some pictures
  17. I am Money is not (really) an issue if this place is as good as it looks!
  18. Because the fact you haven't lopped a leg off yet means you never will.... some people eh.
  19. Hoping to get down for this Steve, specially as its free to us students Just as an aside, your link didn't work for me, think it might be this one - Celebration of Trees and the Countryside | Capel Manor Gardens Cheers, Sam
  20. Good stuff, good turn of speed about it too. I bet you would like a handbrake! I love people making things like that, perfect for the job and what once made us the most powerful nation in the world.
  21. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kwQ1ZwxfvA&feature=bf_next&list=PL72612204E1832EE4&index=5]YouTube - Broadcast 2000 - Run[/ame]
  22. There is somewhere I have to visit. Looks, phenominal.
  23. What sort of amount are we talking here? Are they just loading it car load by car load?
  24. According to google thats a golf course? is that right? :001_huh:7 Cheers
