Very therapeutic way to sit out my hangover!

Where are you based Hog?

I'm a beekeeper, a member of my local beekeepers association and a member of the BBKA. I keep bees in the "traditional" way, in boxes with frames of wax foundation. I've investigated the "biobees" method of beekeeping using top bar hives. The proponents of this method of beekeeping like to call...

Albus, your knife kit looks like a Karesuando kit? My first (and still only) knife was just such a kit. Here it is: Like you, there are plenty of things I'd do differently next time!

Are we in a lunar eclipse? Doesn't that cause a red moon? I just don't remember seeing it quite so​ red before.

I give up on Dropbox... are you seeing it now?

Image fixed. Wow. Dropbox is a pain in the butt to get to work on here!

Crappy pic from phone:

I've only just opened the bottle of wine, so I'm sure it's the moon!

Anyone else seeing an incredibly bright pink moon right now? Was it forecast? The most intense I've seen it at the moment down here in Cornwall.

I've taken ice axes and knives on Easy Jet a few times and never had a problem. Being as they've always been in / on a rucksack I've always had to use the "special" baggage conveyor and so have always declared what's in there and had it x-rayed in front of me. I've always had the ice axes on the...

In fact (and again 'cos the photo's not too detailed), if it was taken round here I'd think it was the winter bracken die-back.

Bit hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the stuff that grows all over the peat moorland down here in Cornwall / Devon. In between the gorse, heather and tormentil.

I was on that exact route (Parsley Fern Gully Left Hand) a week or so before the guy with the helmet cam. It was in worse nick and we couldn't stand up in the wind when we topped out! Moved together with my partner until the exact point he fell off 'cos there was no gear anyway (so it was...

sloe gin. Message must be at least ten characters though. So sloooooooooooooooooooooe gin.

Only had it once and it was pretty awful. But I think that was due to the way we (over)cooked it. Would be keen to try it again. Was advised that the *cough* testicles were the tastiest bit. I didn't have a chance to try them but I did butcher the thing and was a little disconcerted at just how...

I've got the Craghoppers basecamp lined trousers and they're absolutely rubbish. Waist line rubs like hell with a ruck sack, articulation is non-existent and combined with the fact that the material binds against your skin, makes walking any length of time in them a chore. They're a terrible fit...
