    Even better: Try broom which doesn't have thorns or if you grow your own: pea pod wine. Very similar and no blood! Still. Nothing beats foraging does it?....hc

    What gives you the thrill when spotting wildlife?

    Excellent thread. Crossbills last Easter (yes in Somerset!) Butterflies snuck into my World last Summer and pepper my dreams. Large Blue was one of my first. Dragonflies too. There's something about the darters. I've set up a feeding station in my garden and I've got 11 ticks so far (only a...

    +1 for rifle. A legal pistol in the UK will max 6 ft/lbs. No good for humane hunting. For accuracy a rifle is the business. Good luck with your purchase and enjoy it.......hc

    Two other things to add: 1/ Higher up in the mist last night, the white light bounced back and made anything at distance tricky to see. I should have tried lower angles perhaps or less power. 2/ The pressure pad is pretty good. Better than me at this stage. I am going to have to do some...

    Mornin' Red. I did a night bimble with my dog and 11 year old last night. Specifically I wanted to see what I could get from the red filter. I found that if you need a bit more "enlightenment" the red filter was able to show up the uneven ground or badly maintained styles when we needed it...

    Extreme birdhouses :-)

    Brilliant! I'll hang my head in shame at the tit boxes I made with my 11 year old daughter. That said: One was investigated within half an hour, the other, an hour. Wonder how long it would take to buck up the courage to move into one of these? Good post........hc

    So where can I buy some? Sounds worth it because I'm worth it too. Can I use it as a lip balm too? I work outside all year and my lips take some flack. Anyone got a link? Many thanks and good luck with sales.........hc

    When you say diffuser: Do you mean the red filter? Or do you mean the opaque, friction fit diffuser? Let me know which one so I can give you a good resonse. Also let me know what you want the 100m throw for. (signalling/lamping/rimfire etc). I'll go out at the weekend with my 11 year old...

    I'll let you know. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I want to know how the "pad" attaches to the stock where my front paw goes. Not sure if I'll prefer thumb or finger activation. So I guess that will impact on which side of the stock it goes. As a kid I Sellotaped my "under the covers...

    Initial thoughts Red? I think it might be up there in my top 5 purchased "toys". I'm no engineer, but even a peasant like me can appreciate the work that has gone into this torch. It's really touchy feely and the controls are a doddle. The ergonomics are great and although I'm sure none of us...

    Yup - Li-ion batteries were part of the package but not part of the breakdown. Pure unadulterated incompetence on Royal Mail's behalf. My order wasn't the only one mucked up. The supplier "MY FENIX" handled it extremely well and even out of office hours, this weekend I got 2 emails. Rob is a...

    Air rifle shooting with my daughters.

    Sounds like a brilliant day. I'm interested in these exploding targets. What did you use? When I was a kid I used to use plasterboard, but I don't want that getting into the soil in my garden now. Are they something you can purchase online somewhere? Cheers............hc

    Air rifle shooting with my daughters.

    Good post. I also heard that real men have just daughters. :lmao:(Err - maybe because that includes me) Nice one. My (now 11 year old) has shot my HW97KT (propped up of course) Thing I was amazed at was how quickly she sussed lining up/focusing the cross hairs in the scope. Something most 1st...

    Hmmmm. Think I got a bit excited here. I ordered the TK15 S2 lamping kit with a couple of extra accessories. I also paid for next day special delivery so I had a lamping kit to play with this weekend. A huge purchase for me on Thursday afternoon and here I am on Saturday lunchtime with nowt to...
