Better outcome today - blackberry and dewberry muffins - but if an easier ID

Hi king time no post after some changes in my life. So went to the woods to have a look around and saw some chicken of the woods but it was a bit past it and getting too hard. Some good mushroom spotting and got a good haul of field mushrooms - did a stain test on them in situ and and home and...

He's in the skiing video from 15:20 onwards, quite inspirational

Yuichiro Miura Yuichiro Miura climbed up Everest when 80, still skiing at a pretty good level on a regular basis.

Thanks I've started a "conversation" the little email/message symbol with my address details on.

That's nice, where did you get that from wayland?

Hi, I'd love the cup, it's stunning, tried carving one last year and it was a disaster. Didn't feel as mainly a lurker that I should jump in, plus my stand solution probably won't be up to the quality of work on the cup. But if it's still up for grabs I'd love it.

My prep has been to get the ski stuff out of the loft, and realise the kids don't fit into any of theirs anymore. Paul they've got Smith IO's with 2 lenses on sale at https://www.absolute-snow.co.uk/V/Smith_IO_CP_Sun_Platnium_SnowboardSki_Goggles_ML_White_Vapor-(236691) best low lens light I've...

yep its's a hollow stud. to be fair if its proper cold, I've got much better mitts and gloves, these are more just from knocking about it. I'd be pretty easy just to cover it, but I probably won't get round to it.

over the last week I've got a couple of bits. A wallet tool thing from Heinie https://heinnie.com/survival-card it's opened some beers, cut some packaging and some string and once I took the little dogtag lanyard bit off fits in my wallet/phone in a little cover to stop things getting cut. For...

I’m slightly disappointed I was hoping for recipes from die hard, national lampoons vacation and home alone so I could simulate the films at home through food. I was going to give silence of the lambs a miss though.

I’ve warn the darn tough socks for skiing albeit one of their thin versions and they’re good and hard wearing - expensive though for a pair of socks.

I ended up getting some muck boots, seem really well made and are comfy. Let’s see how they go for the next year

What do you reckon to the grub boots you you’ve bought

Hi thought I’d tap up the hive mind, my old walking boots are giving up the ghost and I though I might go for something a bit more practical. I’ll be mainly walking shorter distances (no more than 5 miles) but with muddy fields, woods and by the river. Anyone got any suggestions for welly boots...

I've worn a few riding hoodies for skiing when it's been hotter and no snow forecast. They all have a DWR coating and range from thick hoodie into full soft shell, seem fairly resistant to showers etc. latest one from planks is ... if that helps at all. Not had a cotton or wool blended one they...

honestly during lockdown I've grown quite a decent sized beer belly

I love training in martial arts/karate. Like a lot of people I started as a kid, got to quite a decent level, then dropped out after uni, when I discovered "other" stuff in life. I missed it for years, and always wanted to start back up, and dabbled occasional, but constantly made up...

[QU Wish I knew the various kata. We did Ju-Jitsu and they taught techniques not kata style. By that I mean individual throws, locks, blocks, punches, etc. Plus combination moves which you couldn't separate into individual moves like kata I think. Had a few karate lessons on the Saturday...

head movement, bob and weave!
