    200ml to 10 litres of water is the normal ratio for Round up pro. We generally use a ratio of 300 ml to 10 litres.

    It hoofed down for about an hour. We sheltered under a massive barn and watched Stonechats, Redstarts and Whitethroat in the adjacent barn feeding off the left over grain.

    This link has a video of one of the arrows going down. A friend and i were walking about 15 miles away and were watching them swinging round. I first thought that one of them had gone to get fuel. But now i know what has happened. BBC News - Red Arrow crashes during Bournemouth Air Festival

    Thank you Gerrit

    Found this a few days ago growing under a large Oak. Thought it was of the Boletus family but looking at the family it doesnt look like any of them. Any ideas?

    It was havoc in Bournemouth today. We got the same amount of rain but no where near the amount of flash flooding. BBC News - Dorset flash flooding causes disruption

    I want to see what it becomes. It has grown since i last took pics of it. Would be nice to see if it is Ganoderma australe.
  11. Matthew Arnold
    Some more pics of the wee little Gano.

    And yet another big drug den clear up. We had the local police with us incase they came back. It is getting annoying now as we are filling a sharps box up a week. This has to be one of the worst clear up i have ever done (so far). 2 sharps boxes filled and 4 binsacks of general waste.

    Had both the LA TO out as well as the County Council head of Arboriculture to look at the Oak with G.australe and the plan is to reduce its height by approx 25%. We would only remove the dying branches and will coronet and fracture prune where possible.

    Yet more needles. I found them after i had mown an area of burdock out next to a bridge. The bridge is the main pedestrian bridge into the town centre with approx 2,000 people using it a day. It is highly frustrating as we are picking up atleast five a day on our sites.

    Yep you can pass the info onto your brother. We will be starting at the A30 end of the Old Shaftesbury drove and should be there for about 10am. Then the fun shall begin. I'm hoping for some more rain as it was more dust than mud but planning on doing lanes that we havent driven before. What vehicle does he have and does it have any modifications (other than tyres)?
  16. Matthew Arnold
    We will be in 4x4's but you can join us on bikes if you wish.

    On 27th August my dad and i are going green laning with a few friends around Salisbury Plain and doing a few extra lanes in the local area. If your interested in coming along feel free to PM me.

    Too big for a Wren. Its legs are too long. And although it has an uplifted tail to make it look like a Wren the markings on the wing suggest it is a Robin and Wren juveniles are little furballs for about 6 weeks when they have hatched.
  19. Matthew Arnold
    Looks more like a robin and definately a juvenile. If it is a Wren it was a very lanky one.
  20. Matthew Arnold
    Yep. I drained the reservior and replaced it with fresh oil just to be on the safe side.
  21. Matthew Arnold
    Shame we cant do our favourite lanes around Imber (German village/Chitter Down) as the MOD are training up there. Still got plenty to do.
  22. Matthew Arnold
    Parts arrived today (very strange for them to arrive on a sunday). Replaced top and bottom steering UJ's. Also replaced the steering column bulkhead bush and the rattle/clunk has seemed to have stopped at low speed. Will see how it is when we go out of 27th August for a full day up on Salisbury plain, Old Shaftesbury Drove and the famous Ox Drove.
  23. Matthew Arnold
    Most likely yep. I'm hoping the parts will arrive on Monday for me to start attaching bits. My mum was horrified to see the landy being supported by just four 18 inch thick discs of oak with notches in them. Had the wheels turning as well whilst i was underneath:001_rolleyes:
  24. Matthew Arnold
    Did the invesgation work and now got a steering column UJ on order. As well as the bearing bush where the steering column comes through the bulkhead
  25. Matthew Arnold
    Will be checking that tomorrow whilst listening to the cricket. got a trolley jack and 2 massive lumps of oak to use as axle stands:lol:
