Be careful out there folks, the vegetation in the hills is still greening up and really dry. There are still folk having bbqs and fires on the edge of the moor in th Peak District. Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

My terriers have had 2 myxy rabbits in the garden in past 2 days. Our rabbits are at a low ebb population wise and the weather hasn't been bad enough to send them underground. Anyone else seeing much around? Normally hits us later in the year when there are loads about and the weather turns...

Found this old saw on tonight's bimble, it must have washed out of an old farm rubbish heap in the floods. Couldn't think what to do with it as it certainly won't fit in Sam's treasure box! Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

Really proud of my lad Sam (7), shot his first rabbit with his .410. It's now gutted, jointed and bagged in the freezer ready for a game pie. Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

Sam (7) had a great 1/2 hour session on the clays this afternoon. Hit more than he missed so great for a first time effort with his .410. Rabbits and jackdaws need to watch out! https://www.instagram.com/p/BDtZwMhDYiC/ Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

My lad Sam (7) is keen to go on holiday on a plane but he hasn't got a passport. I'm thinking of flying to the Isle of Man from Liverpool in late April. We can see the IOM from the fell tops here and it looks pretty cool so really keen to explore. We'll be on foot/public transport and will...

I've used easygps to down and up load waypoints and tracks onto my gps for years but since Tuesday night nothing going via USB works. The gpss don't go into USB Mass storage mode when plugged in as normal. I've tried with 2 Garmin etrex 10s and a Gps60. Tried 4 different cables and 3 different...

I've thawed out a 1.2kg boned bit of haunch from a hind I shot in February. Any tried and tested recipe suggestions gratefully received! Ones I've found so far call for 2 days of basting and we're hoping to have it tonight! Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

Winter is coming and I'm wanting to take some hot food with me on the fells - stoves are not an option as it's access land and they aren't allowed. Has anybody got any recommendations? I've tried my life venture cup but it goes cold after 4 hours. Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

Over priced, not challenging, dangerous trip hazards (2 barb wire fences pushed over and not marked) and badly marked route. It would seem Bear's jaunt into obstacle racing may be short lived! So glad I didn't enter! Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

I don't have a porch or dry outbuilding where I can dry coats/leggings. Coats just end up hanging over backs of chairs dripping onto the kitchen floor. Come winter time this is a twice daily problem, taking up space and looking unsightly. I do have a de-humidifier which works OK but is noisy...

Had a good 15mile wander over the Bowland Fells today. The views were amazing - Isle of Man and North Wales looked really close. Didn't see a soul all day. Great to be out and it stayed dry, which is a bonus! Cranberries doing well Cowberries And a few late bilberry and crowberry...

Was going to have a day exploring the Lakes tomorrow but heard a massive crack in the garden and went out to find a branch had come off the big scots pine in my garden. A day firewooding it is then! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I'm looking to replace my tattered Craghoppers Kiwi trews. Does anyone know if sizing is similar to Regatta? I'm 32" in the Kiwi's. Tried to find a shop to sneakily try some on but the local ones only have coats. Thanks, Rob Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

BBC Natural World, Irelands Wild River: The Mighty Shannon. Fantastic! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Edited 30/6 to add - its started playing up, not lighting everytime. SWMBO purchased a £2 refillable lighter from Aldi yesterday. Its great - turbo-flame, adjustable. Feels fairly robust. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Looks interesting.... Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I'm after a new strimmer - have any of you had experience of the cheap 50cc Actecmax or Timberpro models? The reviews are mostly good. The local mower shop Stihl range start at £150 for a tiny one. It's for clearing rushes, docks and ground elder. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

In an effort to extend the evenings into the cooler/midgier zone, SWMBO has expressed an interest in a fire pit. Her only demands are that it must look ok - not an old wheel or half a 40 gallon drum in their raw state! I would prefer if it was cheap! I do have access to stone and can dry...

I've been asked at short notice to do an hours talk on 'Foraging' to a class of year 5's. Its on Monday afternoon :eek: I'm confident presenting to nippers and using powerpoint but I'm just struggling to sort the various subjects out into some sort of order. Ideally I'd like to take some...
