    Costal foraging laws and etiquette

    How about glasswort, I live near the river Lune estuary and have, in the past, foraged it. Sadly, like so many rivers, there have recently been floating scum of sewage just by the pumping station that is about a mile or two upriver from where I used to get it. Does anyone know if it would still...

    Sold Larry Chew Cujo flipper

    I’m pretty sure that now, they are sadly, illegal to own outright, where as formerly, if it was an heirloom, or a historical purchase by someone when they were legal (my father had one but although I still have it, the spring broke a long time ago so is now classed as a lock knife), they were...

    Brilliant! I hadn’t heard of Bing. The ordnance survey layer seems to work on my iPhone, you can change the browser from mobile to desktop, so happy days. Thank you! :)

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Same here!:( The only reason I know is because I read your post, ordnance survey must have considered me unworthy of telling me themselves by email, ******* *******!! I ordered on the 9th. Nice way of earning interest on other people’s money. They’ll be getting a berating by email, in fact I’ve...

    Nightmare, you have my sincere sympathies! Every time I get a crick or ache anywhere, I start thinking it’s spreading. :( My right hip followed very quickly from my left. Going to do as many camps as I can this year, while I still can.

    Sold Waxed Poncho - Reduced

    I have a similar type thing by Carradice. Brilliant for cycling, far better than waterproof jacket and trousers- let’s you breathe. Might be worth sewing a couple of loops for holding the front on your handlebars using paracord or similar if you use it on a bike. Mine also has cords for...

    Just what I need, was going to look because I’ve just had arthritis diagnosed in both hips, aged 59. Very depressing, especially considering waiting lists for replacements, anyway, this looks to be just the sort of video I wanted. Thanks!:dancer:(I wish!:))

    Where to find custom knife makers?

    Nomad Knifeworks makes some very nice knives. I believe he used to work with Stephen Wade Cox, who was acknowledged as one of UKs premier knife maker. Amongst other designs, he still makes the Woodlore Pro, although it’s more called something else as I believe Emberleaf now make it for Ray...

    For Sale Charity Sale; Scottish Crannog Centre

    I’m afraid I will still pass, I have a bit of a stockpile (for me, maybe 6 or 7), I only infrequently smoke one and have had these for at least 18 months. It’s good that they’ve been kept air tight though. :)

    For Sale Charity Sale; Scottish Crannog Centre

    Tempted by the cigars but I suspect they’ll be well dried and past it, as for the book, I’m pretty sure I sent a copy to Oxfam Books- one of my late mother’s, she had over 100 cookbooks and only so many could I keep.:(

    What did you buy today?

    I remember when I got it, I read on some forum about getting different things for it, the steam wand like you got and I think the other might have been a different basket thing, the coffee holder with the handle. I might look into the steam wand.
