There is something about wild perch……

So, a quick trip to Italy, sadly our workaway ( a host we stayed with in January and got on really well with ) did not go well, so baled out go a hotel in the local city prior to a new workaway tomorro. Savone is a new one for us, yet is the capital of a large region. it has a fine cathedral...

This is a lovely looking classic Optimus, fully re furbed and working. You just need a set of pot stands from Basecamp who have them on order from Sweden. Going away in a week so £35 posted to you, no Paypal.

Clearly one needs to be sensible, i.e. dress in a way that is sensitive to local mores, no short shorts or vest tops, dont stand out like an obvious tourist. Yes you are not going to pass as Moroccan but wear local clothes, dont flash money about, watch where you go a especially at night. we did...

Yeah, move on, you deserve a fair deal and that is not one, best of luck !

I think so.

Bought this off James.R of this parish, looks unused to me, a great buy and good guy to deal with. So, to the down and dirty……good news, this is tired old design which has been modified to give a timeless bit of kit. The old over the head cotton anorak, like wot we all started walking with, but...

Excellent stuff.

No sign of militancy here, its a calm mild Islam which dominates, and I see what you mean about roads, but India was much worse, really thought I was going to die.

We had the added bonus of having most of it to ourselves as the tourism economy is only just getting going, a real treat.

Few days in Marrakech, then trekking between Mghoun and the valley of the roses for four days, finished near Dades gorge. South to Erb Chegi and back to Mkech. Superb.

Just had a great week trekking with this guy https://adventure-culture-morocco.com/ Oulaid, would recommend to anyone, a local guy so all your fees go to Moroccans, not midddle men, we couldnt find a trip we liked with the big players, he custom made a week to remember for us. No other...

Thanks for your views, a lot to think about. Whilst I love the Highlands and further North I would be hesitant to move there, I know a couple who moved up decades ago, built their own house, did a huge amount for the community, but were made to feel that they were still effin sassenachs when...

So, we are now retired, and very happy,,,,, but, suppose we were to sell our modest house and move to somewhere where we were more in the wilds, chance to shoot and fish a bit, where is there that land is not crazily expensive ? Can one buy a two bed cottage with a couple of sheds and a decent...

So is it legal to kill and eat wood pigeon and collared doves ? Is shooting the only way or would say raisins soaked in gin work to lure them in and render them catchable ?

OK damn you ! Pm me if still available, will take it, just after resolving that I have too many jackets !

Have been a very happy user of both Nokia Bogtrotters and Le Chameau for decades, and thats how long they last. I find cheap wellies are floppy and rub me feet, so for me it is buy nice or buy twice, your mileage may vary….

bump and final reduction...

Back omItaly so thesis available once more, sorry no Paypal.

My apologies, its bottoms not pants. If I may make so bold, I had filson ship items to me in Germany last winter, post Brexit. Maybe they still ship to Germany, who knows ? It is a shame when they have an EU presence that they wont make the full range available. Anyhow, will wait till I am next...
