Anyone off to Crickhowell today?

[Silverhill]

I missed it last year, which was a real shame as it looked like many bargains were to be had. I'm off this morning, hopefully to pick up another billhook and a No.6 axe.

They sell these tools in our local Ecco shop - they look pretty good!

When I went to take a look back in the summer, the fella in the shop openly told me that the tools made in Africa were quite soft.... Not useless but a bit on the soft side. Apparently they've upped their game since and have the heat treatment right, so I may take another look.

I'm a sucker for old tools though, that's the main reason I'm going. If anyone wants me to keep an eye out for something let me know.

Darn it! If I'd realised I'd have gone ... I'm much nearer than you . too late now and I've fixed things to do here

It's okay, I stay near Leominster every other weekend or so in the Summer, so its only 45 mins away. I did have a nose round but couldn't find anything appealing if I'm honest.

Loads of bits and bobs; hatchets, bills', saws and chisels. Worth a look though.

Leominster's literally just up the road ...
