Count me in or if MM could find something his way. but yes MM serious if you interested for next season sure we could get some SoE and Dorset going between us all

Just watched the programe. Good to see Hedging and all be it very short horse logging on the box Matt Baker did some hedging last winter I think it was down Devon way and was on Countryfile Must admit still have mixed views, glad we have someone like PC as main man for National Hedgelaying (and horse logging Ive just found out) and what he says about and for the countryside. But been some very mixed local views about Poundbury village (housing estate) just down the rd from here. Number of houses & cost, factory, planning, etc etc Due to the size of it sure he must have finaly say on what happens on Duchy land. But this is not the place for that gripe. Did the National at Sandringham 08 I think it was, didnt see him there, but it was by kind permission of HRH ps thought he was good on Jackanory

good point well presented, but I would think having ear peice in, inside ear defender recon your hear something to make you look up at least.... how do these £300 + sets work with all that stuff going, recon for 20-30quid would be worth the test

My sad hobby out side of work is amatuer radio, so play about with alsorts of stuff, but even the small PMR radios £20 and upwards sort of thing from ebay maplin etc etc theres plenty on there, 3km 5km range type stuff so long as they have VOX which is (vocie operated transmit) all you need is and x mobile phone single ear set, set the radio to vox then when ever a person says any thing he will be transmitting to other worker/s, , 100% hands free ........ just a thought
