May need to sale on some other bows before getting any others, bushbow will be the next when it happens Stu. I am loving the fact that all my GN bows shoot the same spine and weight arrows. Do feel like I should make some more arrows for this bow, I have 20 shafts that I can use but thinking I may use a different colour wood stain maybe a two tone effect........

A bit of help required please,

The job I was supposed to be doing tomorrow has been unfortunately cancelled, my wife has immediately picked up on this and has said

"good you can take me into Ipswich and we can do some shopping"

I can't get out of this, so I have excepted my fate, my problem is that the last time my wife and daughter went into Ipswich, parking was an arm and leg, so those of you that perhaps go into Ipswich, where is the best and cheapest place to park? Knowing my wife we will probably be there most of the day, so long term parking.

Thanking you in advance for your commiserations and your help in this matter.

Last time I went in to Ipswich was just before xmas, once a year is enough for me. I used the car park behind Crown pools, I think it was a pound per hour........... I try to stay out of towns and cities.

If you're okay with the trek, you could park outside Orwell Motorcycles down near the docks. You could park there all day and nobody would bat an eyelid

Also, done the math and the cost of parking in Ipswich is so high... it'd actually be cheaper to drop them off and drive around the outskirts for 5 hours

Not quite the docks...... Ranelagh Road is about a mile from the docks..

Thanks for all your help guys, Its more than likely that we will use the Park and Ride, as that means we have no time limit,
as I said its clothes she is after, so not to heavy to lug around.

If only she hadn't been near me when I got the cancellation call, I could have made other arrangements for myself.
Its all good Brownie points for other things I want to do!!!

Thing is... wanting a day out in Ipswich is a lot like saying "I fancy a day out... let's go to Romford!" It's not exactly the capital of anything positive, is it?

Ipswich, Romford, Norwich, Chelmsford, doesn't matter where it is, the question is has it got SHOPS?

She didn't want to go to Colchester and picked Ipswich, who am I to argue.

I think my kids might have some plastic food to go with that

Just messing with you... they're actually pretty neat sets (I have two, keep one in the car)

Plastic food now that's a good idea, it will be light too, I'm sure I saw a burger and hot dog in the dogs basket somewhere.

How lighe are they compared to titanium?

You mean the look what I have found. ?. Boil in the bag

 

[roman-soldier]

Not weighed them yet but they are super light, and have a 5 year warranty, John recommended them and he's used them for years. The folding plastic spoon did make me smile when I saw it.

 

[ozzy1977]

It does look like an afterthought and a bit awkward to use
