Thanks, I'm pretty sure that's the one. Habitat is identical to the that in wiki link. Looks like it's edible, as well: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37765 It's growing all over near us (Cornwall), right by the side of Sorrel. Thanks again

Spotted a lot of this coming out. I saw images somewhere of something similar which I think was edible, but not sure. Just wondering, rea lly.

I'm a pacifist nihilist anarchist at heart, which kind of means I don't believe in the rules put down by a rule hungry society, but don't go looking for trouble either. My advice would be to find a little corner of the world where no one goes and camp. If you get trouble, which, if you choose...

Great tit - I kind of know that. All the common birds, while I could't differentiate, I'm kind of used to. This, I'm sure was something bigger. I wish I could remember where I read it.

Thanks for the input, guys. I haven't heard the bird. I read it somewhere. I'm working on a book (fiction), where it's mentioned. Actually, it doesn't matter if I know or not, as the character doesn't know. He just hears it, and hears the words in the call. But it's just one of those things...

"Quick Now, quick now" I read somewhere about a bird which, when you listen to it sounds like the above. I have a feeling its some type of quail, or maybe a winter bird. Any ideas what it is? Thanks

There are loads of oaks here, though it seems a peculiar place to plant them, as they all seem quite small, and twisted as hell. We were in Tehiddy (sp? ) woods at the weekend, and out of the wind, they were a decent size, though still twisting all over, but on the rise, which was exposed to the...

I'm used to the stunted, windblown tree from the Yorkshire Dales - so is it the salt air which accounts for the twisting?

I've recently moved to cornwall, and love it here. I've been taken by the landscape, especially the trees. I've noticed that there seems to be a strange quality to them - all of them, except the few pines near us, seem to have a strange corkscrew quality to them. They seem to twist round from...

I imagine it's for a website or a book maybe. Either way, I imagine it your info, their money.

Thanks for that. I got the impression they were goretex sided from the pair I was looking at on ebay. Hmmm. i wonder if it was a genuine mistake or a bit of a porkie. I was actually thinking of getting them for use as hiking and wading boots (means I can take breathable, stocking foot waders in...

I'm thinking of getting a pair of jungle boots for ordinary hiking. I like the idea as they are, from my understanding at least, light, quick to dry, and have a tread which is good in muddy conditions. The questions I have, though, are: What is the panama sole like on grass, dry terrain, and...

Ha ha, that's funny because I once did add peanut butter, and it was the work of the devil. I can taste it now. And I love peanut butter.

Camped out in the garden with my daughter last night and made some porridge this morning. Hmmm, I know it's easy to make and all, but, well, even with syrup, I just find it bland. Anyone got any ideas to spice it up a bit?
