    Hand carts? barrows? how do you move heavy bulky kit?

    Looking back, I remember the fun me and my mate's had making these things with some bits of wood, a few bent nails and an old pram. We used to haul our camping gear and such on them as well.

    Tay Salmon Fisheries used to have a good outdoor clothing shop in Perth. Long gone now, but I still have some stuff I bought there. Not sure if this guy is still on the go, but his boats are superb. https://www.google.com/amp/s/fishtaydotcom.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/tay-boat-builder/amp/

    At my old place, there was a long dry stone dyke, the bees lived in the foundation, it had a big garden with mature conifers and hardwood, and the rest of the garden was laid out to be wildlife friendly. A developer bought it, and flattened everything in less than 4 days. Sad, over 30 years of...
