Re: My New BOL/Allotment Diary
Okay so that time is upon me again. After some atrocious weather recently we have begun our spring/season preparations for this years growing. Sunday 06/03/16 We decided to take an early morning trip up to the allotment in the snow to weigh up what work we needed to get done as well as start some ea...

Re: Rat control Surrey
Don't forget the good old air rifle. If anyone up north has a problem and needs some help free of charge I'll happily deal with the problem.

Re: Help me choose my new BOV

Re: Planning a wild camp
I would suggest black stone edge between Rochdale and Halifax as a place for car camping. Plenty of lay-bys over the top road that can be used to pull up in without restriction and it offers a cracking view with minimal light pollution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone_Edge It's also a pla...
