Hi:welcome:
From another newbie from the west mids.

I noticed that poundland are selling a pack of 4 karabiners. I don't suppose they are the best quality, but useful for hanging extra bits and bobs off the back of your backpack etc. Can't go too far...

Its amazing what a dab of superglue can do:p
Yep, its a male chaffinch. Others are female chaffinch, nuthatch and great tit.

I took a trip out to Lake Vyrnwy last week and spent a couple of hours in a bird hide.
Unfortunately the weather was grey and overcast but there were plenty of birds all over the feeders just...

It is forestry commission. Mixture of moorland, deciduous, and coniferous.

I have been wondering the same thing. It covers a fair size area so should be possible to find a quieter spot. It would of course be breaking the law. If no damage is done it seems daft that its...

Spotted some cramp balls while out walking today, so thought I would give them a try.
The one I tried tended to break up a bit when I applied a bit of downward pressure with the fire steel but got...

Waiting on delivery of my Mora.
Regarding the more up market bushcraft knives, i suppose its a bit like the world of cars... a ford or vauxhal will do the job, but people still hanker for an Aston...

I have just ordered a Mora Robust Highq knife from the bushcraft store.
It seems a good starting point, and it was only £9.76 on offer. Can't go too wrong at that price.

Just had an email back from the organisers of the bushcraft show.
They havent yet decieded what the passes will cover. It seems a little strange as they are selling and promoting them:confused2:

I will have to check out the midlands meets.
Other than mail order, are there any stockists of Mora knives in the midlands? I did a check for stockists but it only seems to mention the company names...

Hi

My name is Greg and my other half is Alison (Ali to most people).
We like to get out into the countryside and do a fair bit of walking up in the peak district. I have always had an interest in...
