Been in the pub today with LDR, and of course the craic was about dogs and horses !! BUT of course there will be a drink after the competition, wouldn't expect anything less !! Looking forward to meeting you, having a gargle and a good craic !!! Cheers !!

I have a 2mcp Clulite, but found it impossible to get a decent beam, no matter how much I adjusted the bulb/lens, so I upgraded to a 240 Blitz; no comparison !! OK, the Blitz is a big lamp, but you get a terrific pencil beam, the Clulite fits in your pocket, but lights up the whole field !! Cheers.

You're right, i think there'll be some new found friendships at the end of it!!! Did i mention to you about picking world.hunters up??? Cant remember if i gave you the time of his train arrival......... LOL !!! Thought I'd get the job !!!!! I don't mind picking them up and dropping them at Colins, usual taxi rates will apply !!! (Just joking !!!). Cheers.

This competition is turning out to be more than JUST a competition; I've allready met a couple of the guys and had a night on the lamp with them, and will be meeting more this weekend !! Win or loose, it'll be good craic !! Good Luck To All !!! Cheers.

hows your dog running LDR? And who have you got in the comp? He's been alright mate, was a bit swollen last week, but his catch rate has been pretty good on the bunnies, had my nephew out the half term week and he had 16 out of 20, which was his first night out in a while, its hard getting him on numbers here, just cos there aint any next to me, so giving him some bike work, which he fecking hates!!! hopefully he'll perform well on the night!!!! I've got young REW off here, he's got an injury at the min, so we're running a bit late to give his dog a chance at getting right!!! We were

I wasn't going to mention the 'copter with it's "night sun " on us !!!! Or even the foxes that had to be the luckiest animals in the north east of england !! But then again, they would have been ok against these "show dogs " !!! LOL !! Cheers. PS, the 'copter lamped us then must have decided we were legal, which, of course, we were !!

Oh Callow Youth !! Have I taught you nothing , Grasshopper ???? Cheers !!

LDR, as you know fine well, this was the first time in my long and adventorous life that I had EVER wore glasses !! I found the vari focals great for seeing the quarry at the end of the beam, but found them terrible for seeing the dykes and ditches !! I find the fact that I only fell down one ditch, on par with a normal night out !! What you young u'ns seem to forget, I am old enough to be a grandfather to most of you !! Still enjoy it though, mate ! Looking forward to the next night out !!

When he asked how far was there to go and LDR said we were about 1/3 of the way round, his face dropped !! He didn't complain when I dropped my rabbits in his back pack though, he did ok !! Cheers.

The old saying "To Eat Crow", means to accept something distasteful to you; so that should give some idea as to the culinary delights of crow !! Cheers.

Had a look out last night with two of the other entrants in the Lamping Competition, LDR and Lamp + Battery. First time I'd met L + B, a top guy, who's up for a laugh, and we'll definately be out again !! To say there wasn't many rabbits about would be an understatement !!! Never seen such a dearth of rabbits in this particular area, but we did see a lamp a few fields over !! We ended up with nine rabbits only, with honours being equal with each dog taking three rabbits each, including one that Delta took without being slipped, as it ran straight down my beam for her to snap up !! L + B had us

who in your eyes was the dog/king of the fens

News to me !!! I haven't even run my 1st heat yet !!!!! Cheers. -
I excersise my dogs on National Trust land, which is 100% covered in pheasant shoots. The paths and walks are well sign posted and the signs read "Please keep dogs on leads when crossing fields IF there is livestock in field" I interperet this as I don't need to have my dogs on the lead IF there is NO livestock in the field !! Birds don't count as livestock ! My dogs are under control, and I beat on the shoots, so get no hassle from the keepers, but the amount of people allowing their dogs to run wild around pens is amazing !! So I can see both sides of the argument !! Cheers.

Pleanty of places to go for advice; local council, national trust, ramblers assocciation, ordanance survey, etc. If it is a puplic right of way there will still be rules about keeping dogs under control. Keepers, like farmers, will try to bend the rules to protect their livelyhood, and who can blame them when there are so many people letting dogs run wild ! Not you, I hasten to add ! Cheers.

£300 might be a fairer price. Cheers.

Monday night was my last night of a week down Notts, so we just HAD to get out and give the dogs a run !!! Full moon and no clouds meant it was almost light !! We were casting shadows !! But you're right Col, sometimes you just have to get out for a run !! Cheers.
-
Thats what I thought aswell. Get the wood of the floor and you can swill it out no problem !! Otherwise the base will be rotten before you know about it !! Otherwise, a great set up !! Cheers.

Lab X what ?????? Cheers.

Andy, if your pup is "only" 3/4 Minshaw, I'm sure it'll be a good'un, or you wouldn't have taken it on !! I was sorely tempted to take one of Joes Jack x his wee bull x cross bitch pups, but I'm just not ready for a pup at the moment. I'll bet good money they will do the biz in the right hands !! Cheers.
-
I would think that £400 for a FULL Minshaw bred pup would be a reasonable price; but surely these pups are not FULL Minshaw ???? I may be mistaken in this, and if so, I apologise, but for some one to line their bitch with a Minshaw dog and claim the pups are "Minshaw" pups, is just wrong ! Cheers.

LDR's place or if you want to see the wilds of the North East, Hippychicks place !!! LOL !! Cheers.

Congratulations to Scouser, and well done to both of you !! Not forgetting Tomo; without hosts and refs there would be no competition !!! God write up, sounds like a good, sporting night was had !! Cheers.
