  1. My dad and i have got sledges in our defender in case we get stuck. Got allsorts of stuff in the back as well. Never needed it yet (touches wood). Weve only used the sledges once. But then again we have used the defender and a 1.5 ton sled. I've been doing my bit for my comunity by clearing the footpaths to the corner shops. Gonna be going around in my tractor with the bucket on the front clearing the COUNCIL owned car parks as nothing has been done. Only gonna do it after the hunt meets tho.
  2. Because the footpaths and roads are so lethal around my way i have resorted to wearing cricket shoes as they have little spikes in them. Very effective still ended up on my year a few times. Before i put them on i managed to slip walking down our driveway and slipped a disc in my back. I'm walking around like i have a broomstick up my backside.
  3. My best present. Lots of info. Its amazing how much my home town has changed in a few hundred years.
  4. Oh yes. Some of the car parks havent had an inch of grit put on em. The roads are lethal. Especially the ones that havent been gritted. My dad and i were a bit naughty and went to our biggest ungritted car park n had a play in the BMW. On a bad note he took my uncle to the local a n e wit ha bad broken ankle. Lots of ligament damage but luckily the bone hadnt moved much.
  5. Yep. It was just by off chance we met them and we went on a massive bender. We got back to the hotel at about 4 in the morning. We didnt wake up til about 10 pm n then did it all again. Self inflicted i know but it was so much fun.
  6. Just changed mine to a very seasonal one taken on one of the sites i manage.
  7. Sod it just give me a funnel lol. Been there done that with John Pritchard and Dainton of Dirty Snachez when i was at a friends stag do in Majorca. Never again. Woke up with the hangover from hell that lasted 3 days.
  8. lol. Its only one that escaped our sight. Bit naughty telling everyone on here but we got about 1800 locked away of various pellet sizes and power rates.
  9. Just realised that i had left that one on the side. They are all locked away in a safe bolted to the gun cabinet which is bolted to the wall. Only my dad and i have keys to it.
  10. We have the second one in both of our work trucks just so we can identify the fungi. Judging by the size of the fruiting body, we decide wot is the best plan of action for the tree. Whether it be monitor each year, reduce, pollard or full removal.
  11. I meant to say in secondary brackets (humanely dispatching wounded roadside deer.) I don't actually use it to stalk deer as it is massively illegal. Its sounds like a massive overkill using 22-250 for finishing deer off as a 22 would do the job suitably but i have been asked by the local firearms officer to use it rather than a 22. Don't ask me why.
