    Blimey, no! Every day is a great day, I live in Devon. But thank you for asking.

    Wild camping dartmoor threatened again

    Why thank you, I consider that a compliment, but not as arrogant as the reply I had. It was still total and absolute rubbish though.

    Wild camping dartmoor threatened again

    Total, and absolute rubbish I would very strongly suggest that I would have forgotten more than you know about rural life, and the reality. But we are never going to agree so no point in continuing, but at what university were you brain washed?

    Wild camping dartmoor threatened again

    Can we get this right guys, wild camping per se was NOT banned on Dartmoor, or even threatened to be banned. It was a small area of the designated wild camping area owned by two private landowners that was the issue, and I for one, are over the moon they lost. As far as I am concerned, they can...

    Trekking Poles

    Bit of very poor advice about the “uselessness” of Trekking Poles on this topic, quite ridiculous tbh. I did the Kilimanjaro treck in 2014, I was very fit and had prepared by hiking, I live and worked on Dartmoor, gym work and Strength and conditioning with a former Royal and a Tri...

    Close Encounter

    People really are stupid sometimes, in fact often. One of the beaches where I fish gets regular Seal visits, one has obviously been fed by idiots, because he chased an angler, who was dragging a couple of Macketel, up the beach!…………..It was hilarious!

    Ed Stafford Forest Smock

    I have a Ridgeline Smock, cannot remember which one, but it is slightly more breathable than the earlier cheaper ones…..Apparently. Now, I work a Spaniel, Stalk and hike, and it can become rather warm if you are very active for sure. But around my Bushcraft camp it comes into its own...

    Close Encounter

    I worked on Dartmoor for 3 decades, both night and day, and quite a lot around Bellever. Used, binos, night vision and thermal and saw nothing but pussycats. Do I believe there are big cats on Dartmoor? That depends on how big Tabby is………….No

    Favourite bird

    My career job put me in touch with all sorts birdies, there are some I like more than others, and a couple I am not to keen on, Magpies being one, there are far to many of them. But for me it has to be the Kingfisher, agile, stunning, busy and always a joy to watch. I have seen hundreds of...

    May I respectfully ask, what/who is the relevant River Authority?

    Group first aid kit

    The above is a great start, but make sure your FAK represents your Risk Assessment, the only, very pedantic, change would be Scissors for Tough Cut Shears.

    Courgette Glut Ideas!

    Soup, much better than I thought. You Tube has several ideas.

    Your medical kit - its a mess!

    Do you have any examples where a lay person, and I include those that hold a FAW, have been sued for administering FA to someone. Certainly not something I have heard of before.

    Your medical kit - its a mess!

    I think to even hint that you could be sued for administering FA, even as a trained FAW, is totally counter productive.

    Perception, how do we look?

    Not the dusky maidens you have to worry about in these parts, the barmaids eat their young!

    Perception, how do we look?

    Never roam the Moor during a full moon, and alway keep to the tracks!

    Perception, how do we look?

    Yep, certainly most of it.
