    When that photo was taken, he couldn’t get to a rabbit, it ducked under a load of rubbish, he wouldn’t leave it,he had run it for quiet a distance and it out turned him, he was on new ground, he got it in the end, but he really marks well, fur or feather,

    It’s half the fun when they mark, it’s marvellous to watch,

    Proper character definatley, I am sure he was married when I met him, he signed me a book, I went to buy a spaniel, he had trained and turned it down, but he was a gent about it, it didn’t tick the boxes

    Get around the bottom with a spade, and use the turf to make a small wind break, with a level bottom, if water seeps up try a close boarded pallet in the bottom, to get him off the damp ground, he must be a steady quiet to let them get that close, my lurcher will stalk our great for deer, and will not break on them, but he is unreliable, if we come across squirels/ rabbits, he’s 6/7 now and is steadying down all the time, there’s nothing wrong with lurchers they are very good all rounders, but it does depend on how they are brought on, like anything else,

    She makes you happy mate, she tries for you and that is worth a fortune, your a wealthy man for that, there’s a lot of people would give there right hand for that, I have just come back tonight with a mate who wants his big lab to stalk, I took him in one of my woods, I followed behind, and watched and gave guidance, it was a pleasure to watch, the dogs first stalk, he’s going to be a lucky bloke the dog has real potential, nothing shot but out again in morning,

    Nice looking dog Tyla, a dog I always wanted to try was a Airedale terrier, it nearly happened a couple of year ago, but alas not to be,

    This again is topical, I like them half a body length, so I can glance down without moving my head too obviously, it’s just a case of tipping my eyes down and left, that’s great for a pointer, / dog that will indicate, some will just plod behind, there still good dogs, but there’s two types, some pro-active, some re-active, I would think yours is more pro-active, there the most exciting dogs, sorry I was slow to reply, just getting used to the site changes even now, I am a technophobe,

    If you look at the tape measure, it’s about 12 inch long, then he’s counting the tail, nowt abnormal there, it’s just a big rat, I have had them 12 inch, from nose to start of tail, back in the 80’s,

    One I had fitted to my old Diatsu the water came down the inside of the T bar and screwed the switch up, I tried the suction cup one one the clulight, the system seems good, the similar light force one looks worth a try, don’t think I would drill the roof again, personal preference though.

    i agree about temp consistency but how do you lads achieve it, I have a brew heater, it’s similar to a fish tank heater,I am up on the borders, and the temp is up and down like a brides knighty, also how do think barometric pressure affects it, or even if you agree it does,

    I only ask as I say Hugh fearnly doing some on river cottage, and they seemed to just pour it into a wood barrel and seal it, I often wondered why it didn’t blow,

    did they keg it or stick it in a jar with air lock, they recon a garden shredder works well for pulping the apples,

    hes just two I think or very close to it,

    I never use markers where members of the public have access to the land. Indentations on mole hills, strands of wool, white spray paint; anything that'll point me to the spot but won't catch the eye of a footpather. Thats sensible, enough..but i personally never use any type, of evident marker,...Thats ok till you end up with a field full of mole hills, then the old timers desease kicks in, but if there’s only a couple of lines of hills then no issues, easy to relocate them,

    there could be a way some instrument, I would take a guide from what the instructions say it should end at, I think that’s your only option now,

    have you seen the ones made from drinking fountain water bottles they look handy, I was given a carboy (25litre ?) but I never got round to using it.....not hard to acquire though. If you're gonna go, go big ! I think she’s buying me a fruit press and I have access to loads of apples too late this year now, so will have to dig through some old posts, for next yr anybody know anything about useing Sankey barrels/ kegs as I am thinking of useing a couple of them

    I think with these being bolt/fasten on, you should be able to fit it further down the neck, making for a tighter seal at the mouth / bottle opening, and of course you will be able to swap them from bottle to bottle, should you need to although unlikely you will ever need to,
