I now have an excuse for something to do on Monday! Maybe it is Corsican pine and I'm wrong. There's various 'collections' on the estate, and possibly one of the largest Yew populations I've ever seen.

Next time I'm down there I will have a better look, the wreath was a made for a friend 3 years ago. They also make a rather nice brew :)

There's some well established tree's on an old ruined estate by me. At a guess, 200-300 years. The picture's not the best, but if you look at the top needles, they are bound 2' onto the hazel hoop with jute.

Scots pine can be ID'd from a long way away's and the needles are unmistakable. Double prong, 3-6 inches. Try steeping some for 15 mins or so, and then some overnight, reheating. The latter is much more tea like.

Rare roast beef, fresh sliced (thick) bread, caramelized onions and fresh horseradish sauce. Pint, pork pie. Job done.

If you have the shells on the shoreline, they are there. Keep an eye out for very low spring tides (you can view your area here http://www.ntslf.org/tides/predictions) and watch a few Youtube videos. You can also get very good pickings after a good storm if you get down early :)

Sorry, i thought you would know them with the Trust work. http://www.sara-rescue.org.uk/

I'm with you on that one. Drop an email to SARA Mike. Mervyn Flemming is the head honcho (rescue coordinator). I'm also friends with one of the crew on Fudgebook if it helps.

Not sure to be honest. They do look like beak marks. You do get mudworm, kind-of like harbour ragworm in the mud flats.

Razor clam 'keys' are totally different buddy. And, you only get them in sand near the low water mark on spring tides.

I cant seem to find any reference to this, both individual or genus :) Jeez Ivan. What a shock! At least no one was hurt but how the heck did she not see the car? Its a long sweeping bend. All I can think of is excessive speed or lack of attention.

There's nowt wrong with bio-ethanol, in fact, its cleaner to your cookware and you don't get the horrible soot/smell that you get with meths. I used pure ethanol in my stove for around 2 years.

Tonight's lineup. Already tried the Young's, which is a nice way to finish a few.

Has Imagedude sobered up form the Whiskey tasting yet?

No problemo :) If you do decide to go for them, have a look at Dutchware tree straps with Ti buckles. Your whoopie sling simply fastens over these (instead of a toggle) and your done. I can hang in around 2 minutes and have tarp, UQ, bag and brew on in less than 10.

Its a length of amsteel (incredibly strong synthetic rope) with a fixed eye at one end (for your hammock gather) with a larger loop the other end that feeds back in on its-self for a section - so as to constrict under tension. Without tension it simply slides longer/shorter by hand. It makes...

Looks like they have the very one in stock. Nice one amigo.

Ah - Its a Punto mk2 Sporting. Thanks for the link, I'll have a look-see now :)

In a pickle at the mo. I bought a replacement clutch for a mate to fit (he's fully competent, and free) but while its been lying around waiting to be fitted, the release bearings gone walkies :rolleyes: Hmmm. Not having much joy sourcing one without the complete clutch, does anyone have access...

I dare say you could squeeze in 110. Dont sweat it :)
