  3. Apart from the Wortley Country Festival in Sheffield, does anyone know any other Lurcher shows in Yorkshire and the surrounding area's?? Thanks in advance!
  4. Cheers Kev! No problem.Which LED lite have you got? It's a Cyclops from the USA...crap, lasts ages but crap.
  5. I'm on avid Osram fan myself...I have a 12v lead Homebase torch with a Xenon bulb added to it, GREAT! but it only lasts about 30 mins. I also have a High powered LED "what a waste of money that was".... Next on the agenda, prior to saving enough cash to purchase a proper HID hunting lamp is to add a car HID conversion to the Homebase beast Feed the kids before purchasing any more lamps aye?
  6. Haha, I've got a walk around though, I hold the bulb end into my jacket prior to releasing the power...the more use it gets, the better it fire's! I was thinking of buying an Osram or Philips bulb for it but as you know I wanted to find out what determines the firing time before I forked out my hard earned cash.
  7. Does anyone know what determines a HID lamps start up time, is it the ballast or the bulb? My lamp currently take 8 seconds to achieve full brightness from cold
  8. Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew what determines the firing time of a HID lamp, is it the ballast or the bulb? Currently my bulb takes about 8 seconds to warm up to full capacity!
  9. Haha excellent mate! a bonus rabbit! - everybody like's one of those
  10. Just back, stood on the pup saw 3 rabbits whist Tia was leashed, walked a few more miles, saw nothing so I decided to head home and let her have a sneaky mooch on the cricket pitch "Naughty" next thing someone most have bowled her a fast rabbit because when I lamped up she was belting round like a mad hound. Anyway the rabbits live to die another day. Not been a bad year for UK cricket! And with regards to full moon lamping, erm well it's like a fat bird compared to gale force darker conditions Thanks for everyone's advice! Taurasmark.

  12. Just about to set off, excellent post at the right time!
  13. I went out for the first time in the snow just before proper crimbo - what a pointless waste of time that was lol, I had heard people say you wouldn't need a torch but I was gob smacked to see how true they were lol
  14. Lithium batteries are like Videos are to DVD's - new technology!
  15. full moon and groundfrost....bad combination Like Christmas has come again lol?
  16. I bought one of these from China Torch It's a HID Xenon 35w with a Lithium Polymer battery. Good points. 1. The beam is incredible! 2. I've never struggled to see anything! 2. Not as heavy as carrying lead batteries around with you. 4. Can hide it easy, no wires to mess about with. 5. Made from military grade aluminium. 4. Lasts over an hour. 5. Beam can be adjusted. 6. You can pretend to be Jedi Knight, provided you make the correct sound effects! Bad points. 1. It came with no instuctions. 2. Bulb takes about 8 sec's to warm (not sure if this is the bulb or the to

  18. listen mate i don't mean that if you go out tonight your going to have the best night you ever had,although possibly that could happen, but f**k me its only a mooch about to keep the dogs fit,well for me anyway,it wasn't organised no serious miles put in and also very early compared to most times i go out,im just saying its better than doing f**k all As soon as the clock strikes 12 I'm offski's....I'll let you know how we get on "If I don't stand on the pup that is"...
  19. get him out! best advice is to sicken your pup! sicken your pup?
  20. Might give it ago, I have a new pup and I want him to witness his first ever chase....but i'd sooner get a good nights kip if I thought i'd be wasting my time as the dogs have been on a huge mission already today.
