Nice one, cant wait to hear of your excursions :).

Sweet, il have to watch that, cheers for the heads up Ben :). Anyone used one of those Lidl arc welders? I may have to get one ;)
I have to say, my mum was waaaaay over protective with me, but i ignored her and explored the woods wi my mates regardless. I do notice that a lot of people in my school just sit from when they go...
