Two things: If you are introducing kayaking to scouts there are grants available to get the equipment and I would look to include instructor/adult size boats in that, modern boats are so much easier to handle than older ones. I looked at sit on tops, some of the bigger ones have a third seat...

Have a look online, I just had a look at Aardvark and they do sell the limbs separately so you could replace them to reduce the pull required, but then they do a starter kit for under £200 too. Sent using Tapatalk

Would you actually lose money, eg you paid £150k and you could now sell it £100k, so you would lose £50k, or is it a case of if you sold it now you could get £100k, but if you spent £20k doing it up you could get £150k? I may be mistaken but did I read that it is a house you inherited? In which...

Now just curious about how it works for people as I emailed them and they had a couple of old style ones still so got one of them. Sent using Tapatalk

Just looking to buy my son a DD Top Quilt as he has been using mine, but they have changed the design. Anyone used or got an opinion on the new one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got two Tilley Lamps in the shed, but due to the dumping of stuff haven’t been able to get to them for quite a while. But the shed is coming down to be replaced by a garage this month so I’ll be getting them out and I’ll have some where to work on them soon [emoji2]. We used to have a few...

Are you sure it’s 28 million and not half a dozen beavers running around as you try to count them? [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not a case of dumbing down, but of finding different ways that are easier. There will be many things that you learnt as a youngster to do one way, but as you learned you found easier ways of doing it. When you come to teach it do you teach the original way or the easier way? I learnt and...

Conversely I used to help at Scouts, when I was the Cub leader and the sixer who would be teaching his six how to tie knots would the week after they move to scouts be incapable of tying their shoe laces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t had the mickey taken out of me for a long long time. When I first started as a Cub Leader, I would occasionally get someone who would say, “DYB DYB DYB, DOB DOB DOB” to me, I would normally stop and politely explain where that came from and how it has changed now, they would either be...

Think I bought my son these 3 years ago for his bike, don’t think I was particularly impressed with them and I don’t believe he rode his bike in the dark. No idea where they are now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

10m should be more than enough. 4m for your tarp, that leaves 3m for each end to secure to whatever you’re attaching it too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think there can be a real difference between cheap and quality. Sometimes if I need something for perhaps one or two jobs I’ll buy cheap, if I need it for longer then I will spend more. Eg. I needed to swap the tow ball on my disco, so bought the appropriate size wrench from an A to Z shop...

A bit of thread hijacking if I may... I have recently found my Pentax 10x24 ucf, which are probably around 20/25 years old and have always done what I wanted, but now am wondering what/how to upgrade them. I generally just tend to use them to look at things I see, rather than any specific...

Just to help clarify the point about buying a knife: https://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives But a seller can chose who they sell to , so if they decide you have to be over 18 to buy a knife from them, the choice you have is buy elsewhere. Sent using Tapatalk

I’ve used Seiko for years, I have a cheap Timex that I used for casual. I was issued a quartz watch to go in the jungle and it died on day 1. So as soon as I got back I went to the Naath and bought an Automatic Seiko Divers watch, which has been every where with me since then, I upgraded it 18...

I’m on my second Snowy River, the first was just looking lived in when the dog got hold of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
