only thing you may be able to do is do what they do with horses tails have a special bandage they wrap them in to stop it getting caught up. or use iodene spray on cut or whiteheads varnish will heal it up.

SOE same as midland 18 inches apart or elbow to clenched fist so 10mtrs would need approx 20 stakes same with binders binder per stake. and hazel for stakes and if they can get it willow is good for binders weaves nice. use willow for stakes it can grow not much good if rest of hedge is native mix.

+2 to all thats been posted and learn from those you work with. and ask do not go in and dig a hole you can not get out of as for college learn and get your papers but learning on the job is worth triple what they will teach you at college. work hard ,never late leave phone in bag. and will not go far wrong. good luck trust you have years of enjoyment and learning. what more can you ask outdoors all the time keeping fit. and a good tan even in winter saves going abroad for a top up:thumbup:

double cabs ok but leg room in back is limited i have got in back of mine and its a job as such and not much leg room but you can take 4 people and still a good spacein back. if it was me would go for hilux bomb proof can be expensive on bits from dealers but can get most bits for any truck from auto factors or scrapyards if you see a d22 navara and a yd25 engine unless engine has been changed stear a wide berth if it has been changed then a good truck. but its only the yd25 engine thats the problem

if you have the gear and a shed see if you can get timber. how much then work out how long it will take to do a artic load you can hire processors so makes it quicker. and if around you its selling for 6o to 70 a cube then see if you can do it for that and make a profit from it. had someone asking for a load of logs quoted £60 for pickup said she had been offered a load for £50 said then get it but my wood is dry and under cover. and i think £60 ia cheap but thats seems to be norm £60 to £70 a pick up laod so never get £90 a load

forest and arb take all old chains and any money they get in scrap is given to hants and iow air ambulance. must find out how much they have raised but good use of knackered chains

agree on what you say. if they saw you just as you where landing fish and you put it back then agree but if said fish is dead next to you then commited a offence as for weed they can do you for damage to private property as weed belongs to riperian owner. yet to see it happen.

have you had problems with it before. and is it the same fault. if its been playing up since new even thought its out of warrenty under sale of goods act 1979 it has to be of a resonable quality. sounds like your one is not. say to dealer you want it sorted out a they fix it repplace truck or refund less miles done so you can get something else do not let them get away with it

i have a ghillie kettle better than the kely in that it has a metal cap which whistles when boiling. draw back with all of them is when its blowing a gale to get it to light once going will burn ok my one will boil 5 cups in a couple of mins can cook on it and can put it on a fire if you want to. being on my own i find it a bit of a faff getting it going when i could be working. looking at gettinga stainless steel washing machine drum and using that for kettle and cooking Dorset has one and works well plus you can keep warm from it and it cost next to nothing from the dump

good work but why would they not let it in the harbour. there it can be fixed a beach if it turns nasty could be wrecked or taken out to sea and could be seen as a vessel in distress and waste your time going out to investigate.

all land is owned by someone even if its public its managed by someone, common land is for use of commoners who have it in there deads that they can use the common land for grazing etc angling and the law. if you fish from a public bridge. and your line is in the water you can be prosecuted if found with weed or fish in your possession. if your line snags the weed the weed id part of the river bed which is the property of the riparian owner, same for fish belong to the owner so by taken them even from a public place you are committing a offence of stealing.
