Took a few camping trips this summer. Back in May I decided to try to pack as light a backpack as possible so I could walk with my camping gear on my back and fish on the move in the sipsey Wilderness.. When I found some whitewater I knew I would camp here. My first attempt at ultralight camping was a success. June and July the rivers was flooded or it was 100 farenheit.This past Monday we had unusually cold weather.So I skipped work and left out in the kayak.Caught some good smallmouth. When I'm camping in this area I tie my kayak

Had a walk down the river tonight. My lad took this picture. Murphy getting old now at 9. Bit of grey creeping through on the muzzle and he’s started to slow up a bit.

Tell the truth your pup is running off on you already

It’s hot so salad it is.

My pals young deer/bull/grey x grey; Cheers.

I had a collie/ grey which had the speed of a collie and the intelligence of a greyhound. Great at retrieving sticks. Took it out one night in a 'hot' area and showed it a roebuck on the lamp. Went straight for it and returned with a stick. I could have beaten it to death with said stick. But the kids loved it as did the Mrs. So it lived over 14 years just to spite me.

evening mooch , still red hot 24deg

Leg of Lamb caramelised potatoes and a bit of salad on this warm English summers evening.

Few from my journey back this morning the cream and brown building is the stables cafe and years ago was the stables for the tow horses that worked on the canal

Back to the farm pond with a mate and one of his friends as a guest. Said guest hauled in five small (five!) tench ,some decent rudd and what he described as a few small carp. Small maybe ,but they were the biggest carp ever caught in the pond ,albeit not much more than a pound each. He let slip he was actually an angling coach . It showed too . Far from being disillusioned by the size of the pond and its inhabitants he professed to having a grand time going back to his boyhood fishing roots. My mate caught his second ever tench so was pleased too. He'd just unhooked it

Mashed burger lol

Asian Labour Councillor. He said; “cut the throats of Tory’s and the far right” Not guilty. White wife of a Tory Councillor. She said; “ burn the mosques for all I care” Guilty and jailed for 32 months. Fair ? Not in my world…… Cheers.

It’s gone a bit quiet, so here’s a pic of a working deerhound my pal sent up to Scotland to work with a golden eagle; Cheers.

@mel b Thank you mate, they arrived today..

Obgrey's post caught my eye Hod Carrying. But I have had a lot of jobs. Was a different time though, you could just turn up and ask for a start not like now ticket for this ticket for that health and safety etc. The first job I had was in about 1965 at 14 at a market garden for a tight old f****r Mr Hallkins. Payed by the hour 10d and a half pence old money (f**k that less than 5p). He had a little book called a Ready Reckoner so many hours at such I such price. Then took on two paper rounds while still at school. Left school became an apprentice Electrician for Dartington Hall wor

Roast beef today and I pick up some snacks for when I get in from fox patrol tonight, I’ve not had scampi fries for years, I hope they are as good as I remember

Fair play to you mate, a man of your means still humble enough to shop in the discount trainer section at sports direct !……

Bbq whilst I try and fabricate stuff....

If you know ,then you know

I don't do slate roofing, so wouldn't comment much on it... Over the past 30 years I've pretty much worked on most types of commercial and industrial builds from the ground up, was asked by the holding company of KFC to redesign their existing building envelope to improve the air tightness, this was rolled out nationwide, we built them from Penzance to Glasgow, had to sit countless meeting with architects and other contractors to ensure our details were rolled out, I believe this became the details for all KFC drive through builds after... we had a large supermarket contract, steel, roofi

Only real men have something like that... todays task!

Sometimes,if you don't know shit from toothpaste it's best to sit and listen,learn something new even... rather than to talk utter shite,on a subject you clearly have no experience of

If someone that's going can send me an address . My mrs will make a leather mk1 and mk3 deben locator pouch on Monday, and send them for the auction.

The dog in bottom pictures is dead good dog never let me down and hit stuff as hard the last time you dropped him as he did the first the bitch I still have but she's getting well on well battered and bruised... I like rearing pups to and seeing if they make the grade

Not called Frank by any chance? Lol The first job I ever had was in the 6 weeks holidays helping out an obese lazy sod on a milk round. Getting up at 3am was a shock to the system but it was good money for a 13 year old. I'll always remember the fat mess calling to a cafe and buying himself a bacon & egg sarnie and not even offering me one. He was sat there like a pig in shit with the yolk dropping down his chin and all I was thinking was "choke ya fat c**t!" I then had a paper round for a few years and it was the biggest round in the newsagents so was payed handsomely for it. Af

Talking of breaking a nail....

Mate I live in a house that dates back to 1054, with add ons through the tudor and Georgian eras...insulation no, double glazing no....but... If I was building a new house I'd insulate the floors, walls and roof..I'd choose a pitched roof as I think they look better for starters, plus give you a vaulted ceiling so increasing head room.... but as with everything else you've probably built more than anyone else on here, there aint much you don't know about eh
