Mmmm, tempted. Need a knife for general cutting as my German WW2 knife has died. Do you think this will be happy being abused? Will it stay sharp? The handle looks way better to hold than a bayonet. S

Piles. Don’t forget pile building;) S

No idea if she had a 47’er but I’m sure she’ll tell us if asked. A 47Kg stands nearly 1.5m tall and isn’t that easy to shift. S

My eldest daughter had a SH ‘outback’ when she was a community nurse. She had to travel considerable distances over very poor tracks to outlying settlements and always felt confident in her Subaru’s reliability and capabilities. After nearly six years she moved away and gave the car to a family...

What a woman. What a life. The best way to go….. quickly and with dignity and with all your family around you! RIP Queen Elisabeth. S

This keeps popping into my mind…… I haven’t been to a Moot for a good number of years and to be honest I’m quite tickled to drive Westwards in my old LR and have a week of fun and skill learning. Next thing is to ask my dear wife….. S.
