    I have to say that I’ve only ever used Meindl. Either the Vakuum which I’m on now or the Burma. Both suit me. They’re mainly for walking in for a full day so comfort is important along with being waterproof. The comfort part is important to me as I have poor feet underneath, (no flesh) so if a boot’s not right, I’ll suffer. I can’t tell you about others as I’ve never worn anything else. Sometimes I just feel like having a change but these boots last me a long time so when the time comes for some new boots I always stick to what I like in the end. I’ve heard good things about Lowa Tibets, the M

    It shows a fox being released, no hunting on that film. They could have been helping it if it was trapped. Just saying....

    Police were always round at our house due to my two brothers getting up to no good. One copper in particular, PC Glenn, was always there. I remember mother throwing a bucket of water over him when he came round once. He didn’t come again. Also recall dad picking the neighbour up with one hand when he refused to give us the ball back. ??

    I watched a female cuckoo lay her egg last summer in a meadow pipits nest. It took her around 4 hours to find and then lay her egg. I stood watching in the blazing sun all that time, binoculars fixed on her ?

    Talking to a keeper earlier today who had a pair of these on. He said they were better than his Dovre which lasted him all of three months! Up close they look a good boot and having watched and read about them, I might consider getting a pair of these next. Not sure if they’ll suit long walks on the fell after hounds ?

    All the guys had the paramo on last week when I was on the fells. That’s a good recommendation ?

    First thing they shout for is more regulation on owning an airgun, it’s the easy way out. That’s not going to stop this kind of thing. How about catching those responsible?

    Taken from twitter. Not sure what they’re investigating but at least they’ve pulled them ?

    I watched this on twitter and to be honest it bothered me all day. I wished I hadn’t watched it. Imagine if it was your daughter getting bullied. Feral scumbags ?

    There are lots on the moor where I am and I sometimes come across a dead one. I’ll bear you in mind if I do ?

    Adrian, go on the NVUK site on facebook and ask them. There’s some good fellas on there who I’m sure, will sort you out ?

    Garden centre near here has a robin on eggs above where they till out most years and it raises its brood.

    He had an arrogance about him and was always “right”. I enjoyed his books as a young man and that’s all.

    One day I’d love to try this. ?

    I suppose remyd, if you’re covering lots of ground and climbing out, you’ll get warm wearing that. Looks good for sitting on a quad or stalking in. A keeper friend of mine had a River West smock on when I bumped into him recently. They’re lighter in weight that this, not waterproof but warm with a low back which he finds useful when on the moor sitting observing/shooting ?

    Similar happened to be when I was a nipper. I ran all the way home to tell our kid I’d seen a few Waxwing. That earned me a kicking... but I did see several on a hawthorn bush dining on berries honest ?

    On the strength of the comments here. I won’t waste my time clicking on it ?

    I have regular health screening through work and I’ve one due in December. Recently I put a little weight on so when I got home from a short break in late September, I got “in the zone”? I’ve cut out a lot of carbs and most sugar. Lost about 12lbs/a stone in 4 weeks. Upped the exercising a bit and ate sensibly. Regularly walk an 8 mile route in work once a week and do at least 3 to 5 miles every day on the moors ? following hounds on foot helps ?
