I bet they are at that day rate 😉

Are you in a red squirrel area ?. As that's the only time I would live trap, but any trap that kills has to be in a tunnel or enclosure and approved. WCS are pretty cheap at around £60 including the trap. As are Quill, plastic box with a Fenn mark 4 trap Most others are more expensive as I have metal boxes that look like bird boxes to be a bit on the quiet.

Woodland maintenance work is hard work, especially if you're flying at it and clearing the ground. I do my own and it's utterly backbreaking and that's without mulching or chipping, I roll everything into the stream to rot down and give the bluebells a chance.

I actually loose count of how many I shoot and feel a little guilty when it's double digit outings, I try to head out once every two weeks or more depending on weather. Say 130+ in an average year, so some very happy birds of prey when I'm seen in the woodland. Trapping probably a couple a week, depending on how many traps I've set but these are more in the garden or at the parents.

I'd say that's giving it away personally.

I would also say avoid the gimmick CO2 traps have been an utter failure for me. Might work in a garden setting where food is limited by what gets put out, cage traps and peanut butter works like a charm especially once it gets a bit colder.

.22 all day long, yeah yeah .177 is faster but you want knock down power and nothing hits harder than a 16 or 18grain pellet in .22. Check out your local shop and buy something decent & second hand, probably £300 with a scope. Probably air arms as they're pretty abundant especially the older S410. Personally, also get a few traps to pick up the slack when you're not shooting.

Or Google the carburettor manual and adjust accordingly

Distribution network operator, northwest it's ENWL. And it's not a free phone number here, got stung for a fiver asking for wayleave paperwork for my land. Might need a wayleave if they've only recently bought it, plus point that's a few quid a year as a bonus 🙂

Definitive would be speaking to the DNO and ask if there's an asset in that location. The thing that screams power to me is the metal trunking. Speak to the DNO and they'll do all that for free, eventually.

Looks like power line to me, maybe shared with fibre ?. What's on the other side, like a bell shaped thing ?.

Does putting an arb back on a tipper count as a modification for insurance?
GarethM replied to Peadar's topic in Arb-Trucks
Yes. -
Call me Jim Moir, or as my mother put it. You've been Vic Reeves for 30 years, get over yourself and live with it.

Whilst I understand your point, the SNP are pretty much a one policy party. Just look at the recent, oh we've got to cut spending in Scotland. In the next breath blaming the English even though they get Barnet formula meaning a ton more than anyone south of the border and then we tax the high earners. It's not difficult to have reciprocity, as I suggested Switzerland. Granted they have all the gold, banks, chocolate and cuckoo clocks, so the world's your melted cheese oyster. And I have dealt with the EU imports since 2008.

And then upto the insurance company how quickly they distance themselves from you in the event of any accidents or incidentsm -

Well, I'm assuming London and within the M25, it means new euro 6 unless it's petrol. Smaller might be easier, something like a ford connect van type of thing and a trailer, enough to be under the congestion charging?. -
You're the one banging on how there are more pro EU people, therefore it should be listened to, but a mutually beneficial deal just hasn't been done has it!. I make not bones about being pro Brexit, I'm on the EU fence as I'm somewhat ambivalent, it's a lovely hate relationship. Before the 70s things worked perfectly well but when the blob and the EU just don't want to do anything, Switzerland works well enough when you all play nice.

Think you've answered your own question, yes it's a modification but best speaking to a more arb friendly insurance company than your average LV style company. You're average insurance won't even cover gear in the van, plus it's commercial so best being covered than barely covering the basics. -
If you trace the leak off pipework back to the tank, you should see it's frothy if air is getting into the circuit. Get a torch and look in the fuel tank whilst running, it'll look like a bubble bath. Plus if no fuel is returning to the tank it'll definitely be a restricted fuel supply, think it's something like 1/2 the fuel just gets pumped around and goes back to the tank keeping the fuel cleaner in theory and acts as a pump cooler.
-
Surely if there was a cracked pipe on a diesel you'd definitely know about it, as you'd have to bleed the system. Fuel filters would be the first thing, presumably it's a electric lift pump and not mechanical?. Older mechanical pumps did have a gauze filter, if it's electric it could be a bit weak as the pump is just one speed all the time returning any unused fuel back to the tank continuously.

Ah lefty logic, or just keep voting until you give us the result we wish to hear ?.

It'll be funny if the tree officer bans your access because it's damaging the tree roots and the brick wall is also a danger to kids.

It's mostly to do with the fines, from my experience importing stuff. They can't even load it onto a vehicle as if it fails the whole HGV load just gets impounded until it's rectified and you can't part unload. One of my first shipments after Brexit sat on a lorry for 2/3 weeks because of another person's shipment, with 20/30 other customers similarly moaning to DHL.

I'm too small acreage wise to bother for any grants or funding, I wouldn't say no but it always comes with stipulations & hand tying so just muddle along and do what I think is best environmental wise. I do import electrical equipment regularly which is just a PITA with paperwork, whilst it works once we got the hand of it. Customs staff do seem to enjoy being slow, pre Brexit it just zoomed through.

I don't know, currently Sue Gray is purging the civil service for anything other than her yes men so things will just veer more towards EU membership yet again. A beneficial negotiation is advantageous to both sides, labour couldn't negotiate themselves out of a paper bag without a conference to decide the brand of tea.
