Point taken, just call me Sheepy Baaaaaaaah. Jon

The one time I have had these little things stick their teeth in me I actually saw them and did not recognise them for what they were. They look like little spider mites that my dad used to get on his roses . So I vaigly(sp) tried to brush them off and then ignored them, mistake. If you have...

Count me in for one How much does it work out at ? How do I get the money to you ? Thanks Jon.

Try Joe at http://outdoorsuppliesuk.com/content.html Very good prices and huge stock. His website is still under construction and so things are still being organised. Case folding knives seem to be on the Camillus page. £18 for the 2 Blade Trapper, £20 for the 3 Blade Premium...

Hi Jack The age of a hedge ? Oliver Rackams book "The illustrated History of the Countryside" Says Hooper's Rule is ".... the number of tree and shrub species in a 30 yard length of hedge is equal to the age the hedge in centuries." Dr Rackam goes on to say that the rule works as far...

You speak for yourself :-D :-D :twisted:

Jack has got me thinking. This place does feel like family I think a sense of belonging and of community is central to who a person believes themself to be. Society today seems more and more isolating, we all have more and more technology so we need other people less and less. I don't know...

True, but makes it sound far more grand than it was. Jon

I have to agree with Sargey, the National Mountain Centre at Plas Y Brenin is second-to-none in the world. I used to earn my living as a climbing instructor and I have only ever heard the highest praise for the centre and its instructors. You ask about the Mountain Leader Course, it is a...

Hi Tony Its nice to put a Face to the Name Jon

I knew that I was just being dense. Thanks Ed Jon

Hi I don't know if this is a bug or just me being rather dense. A couple of times now I have composed a message and previewed it only to find it blank when I use the browser back button to continue editing. All that time and thought wasted. I think that the last time it happened I may not...

Thanks for all the advice chaps. I feel I have now got a perspective on things. Under the influence of all this advice I am now the owner of a new aluminium one pint Kelly Kettle. Taking it out of the wrappings it seemed too small and cute to get dirty, but I soon pulled myself together and...

I have to agree with Johnboy in that the Silva type compasses are far more practical for 99% of map work. The other name they are known as is a "protractor Compass". They work as a protractor and as a compass. To apply the readings from a sighting compass to your map you would need another...

I guess you're right, there are so many chemicals around in our food chain now that a little water boiled in an aluminium kettle is not going to do me any harm. The fresh cup of tea while sat in the wilds somewhere, however will do me a power of good. Right, guess what I'm putting on my...

Hi Yes I use Memory Map. It is very good for point and click route planning. It allows you to print a paper copy of your route or to download it to a gps unit. I don't have a laptop computer and so have never tried its moving map facility. The trouble I find with it is if I need to type in a...

Hi guys, I often read the posts here it's a good place to learn and pick up information. But finaly I've a reason to post. Here is a question for you. I love the idea of the Kelly Kettle but with it being made of aluminium I'm wary of the links associated with Alzhiemers disease. Does anyone...
