    Woodcock .

    Personally I would never shoot another Woodcock ever again . Must have shot , maybe a dozen in my life . Got some pin feathers somewhere , but is just a beautiful , wild bird . Most coming from Russia and Finland to winter over here . We do have resident birds but how you tell one from another I would not know .

  12. I got through 3X Northumbria coats back in the day , eventually the ground became more accessible after thinnings and bramble removal . I agree things have moved on in the keep you warm and dry department but , if I ever had to fight my way through head high bramble again it would have to be a Northumbria .
  13. There is no substitute for a good PR man . Cheers Eggs ?
  14. If you cant get any pros , try one of us ?
  15. Can't beat a bit of culture on TV . ?
  16. Just be aware that if your saws have been run on pump fuel for some time it may be worth renewing some or all of the rubber components as they will have been attacked by the solvents in the pump fuel . The petrol itself will keep them soft until they eventually fail . Aspen however does not attack the rubber so does not remove the coating that is on it to keep it soft . If the petrol has removed it ( which it will ) then when switching to Aspen they can become brittle and crack . If you use Aspen from the get go in a new saw then of course this is not a problem . Its the petrol that has done the damage but some people think its the Aspen coz it goes wrong when the swap .
  17. I only left because I did not have much to contribute any more ( being retired from full time cutting ) and I was forever having to clear my phone as it was non stop most of the day . I accidentally removed myself one day and asked John ( TCD ) if he could reinstate me , which he did but had to wait 24hrs and during that time I thought phew ! this is a relief ! so I quit all together . I still hear from TCD and Mediplogs from time to time but not that constant all day thing .
  18. Yes . I use Aspen ( 4 ) and mix it @ 50:1 with whats left of my stock of Red Line Racing 2T oil .
  19. Oh yep . Mine starts with the internal doors all open . Heats the whole house . radiates up the stairs and into the loft ( were I sleep ) ( my Missus snores too much ! )
  20. Damm I can't think of any . These are all good ! ?
  21. Does your pole saw come apart in the middle ? Mine does ( Husqvarna ) or would this be too much of a faf ?
