    We had 4 seasons in one day yesterday- icy hail, thunder, driving rain, sun and wind. Today it's 18 degrees. That is how fickle May can be.

    The cost.

    These trousers are great - do you have a link for them? Quite fancy a pair myself. I could wear these all the time.

    Wildlife pictures

    I love all the photos, nice to have some unusual animals like arachnids, insects and reptiles close up. Love the lizard and spiders. My dog also recently died @Bishop and I have been putting some of her food out for foxes/badgers/hedgehogs etc. I love it that Julie sits out there and has them...

    The cost.

    The Eiger, Everest, South Pole - all conquered in plus-fours and hunting tweeds from what I can gather? But I suppose that type of clothing was the Swanndri and Fjallraven of its day. All very Elite gentleman's club-y I guess.Women used to go up Mont Blanc in Crinolines.

    Trail Cam, Nest Cam etc. Wildlife Photos and Videos

    I think just smearing it on trees would be a good idea. This guy on Twitter has given me loads of advice on pine martens @pinetencolin he also leaves eggs out at feeding stations which are basically raised platforms in the forest.

    I lost my dog a couple of weeks ago. It's getting a little better now but I have been so sad, we spent so much time together.

    Trail Cam, Nest Cam etc. Wildlife Photos and Videos

    Ah, glad you bumped this thread. I saw that almost exactly a year ago I was looking at getting one of these but didn't. I'm thinking about it again. I came up with the Earthtree cam on Amazon...

    Good stuff of the day

    @Nomad64 that's a really great story. Such a lovely dog. We had to put our dog to sleep two weeks ago, she was the greatest companion to me and I am still very sad about it, but reading stories like this makes it all a little more bearable. Thank you.

    Newbie questions

    well it's interesting to hear that they are upgrading some of the roads into and on the site. I'm sure that will improve the access when it is wet.

    Whodunnit? (Warning deceased animal image)

    that's really interesting, as I found what I thought was a wolf or lynx deer kill last winter in my neck of the woods and the fur was scattered all around in a circle like this - I had not even thought that it could have been scavengers who had come afterwards. I found bits of the carcass all...

    Ultimate vehicle for your ultimate adventure?

    I would like an electric car - possibly a fiat 500 if they ever start making them. I would like to go across Europe, stopping off to charge her up every 3 hours in a scenic spot. Hopefully it will be much more than a tour of European IKEAS. Failing that I would go on my (non-electric) Vespa.

    I hope so. If the children can fend for themselves for a week then I'll be all set.

    Anyone had a dental implant?

    No she was there for a week only. But I know exactly what you mean so I will ask her. I'm sure she told me she had implants, maybe in her case she didn't but easyJet flights are so cheap I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to have multiple visits. Anyway I have the name of a couple of excellent...
