There is no perfect answer to how long the Bushmoot is. We could debate this for ever !!!Maybe for next year we have 7 days and see how it goes ? It is obvious that the majority want a longer Moot. I think that asking for volunteers to come along with the set up is a great idea. It would not...

Licensing anglers will NOT make one bit of difference to the fish stocks. They were depleted years ago by naive overfishing by various european countries. By the time quotas were introduced, it was far too late to be of much help to the major species such as Cod etc.

I think that it might be better for the Moot to start on Saturday ? from say mid-day onwards. It could be better for folks as it would mean they would not have to try and blag the Friday off to attend the Moot and beleive me, if this year was anything to go by, you needed to be smart off the...

Hi Guys, Just found your info on Norfolk group !! Can you help me ? We want to do an overnighter somewhere quiet and out of the way. There would be only two of us sleeping under our tarp. We would be very discrete and mindful of the location. I see from your posts that Thetford Forest is...

Thanks for the help guys. As I have two to do, I'll try one of them with the baby shampoo in the bath and let you know how it comes out.

I have recently purchased a couple of really nice sheep-skins but the trouble is they smell! :( I think they may have been stored whilst damp, but they certainly smell that way. The fleece is nice and soft and has a long staple but is a bit dusty. Do any of you know a good way to clean and...

Aaarhh missed out on a fantastic buy. I did not know about these skins until i saw one at the weekend !!! Is there a reserve list ?? :confused:
