    Just been reading in today's paper that the ArsePCA are thinking of not hounding fox hunters anymore, apparently it's costing them too much in failed attempts to prosecute!

    Just spent 10 days over there. Fourth time we've been. Lovely place and people. Got talking to a taxi driver who hunted pig. Hope it's cooler in the winter

    What are the odds on Usain Bolt being clean? I'd say odds on he isn't!

    Red, I rode along Woodhead from home, Motteam area, and passed the turning for Holme Moss, staying on Woodhead. I crossed nine holes bridge and watched from there.

    Great day. I was at the bottom of Holme Moss, just over the reservoir. Nice to see all the nippers riding out to see the race. I got there via my mt bike. Mottram Hill? Pissed it and got back to watch the last 6k!

    Just watching the first day of the Tour on telly and the crowds are immense, well done Yorkshire, you've done us proud. The crowds on Buttertubs Pass.....WOW! I'll be catching it tomorrow near the bottom of Holme Moss, enjoy.

    We have them near us, the notts sabs. They come up for shooting days on the moor. Large police presence for their last few visits, cnuts! Also come up for the Beagle meets on nearby moor.

    I hope he gets the lot thrown at him, nuts electrified, teeth pulled and made to come "home" to England. He can get on the same plane as his mate Gerrard.

    Heard today they're laying buses on from Glossop to near the bottom of Holme Moss, just where the main road crosses the reservoir. I'll be cycling the few miles up Woodhead on the mt bike. I might even be working on it as work own land around there.

    Tomo, there are pockets of them...You just need to know where to look, but nothing like there was.

    The RSPB are planting saplings which are getting nibbled at and have wildflower meadows they're trying to encourage. The rabbits are hammering them. Went out the other night to observe the area and there was several Hares having a go too, but I won't be touching them. I need to shift the bunnies too as they damage to ground I manage with their digging.

    Horton In Ribblesdale. Walk up Pen Y Ghent. I takes me about 50 odd mins to get up there then take the route down the other side back to Horton. You'll be ready for a pint then in The Crown.

    ORT I drove over it the other evening and the cyclists were out in force. I've been on Kinder Scout today doing "The Round" but could see Holme Moss mast from where I was, bet it was busy today

    I'll be watching as I'm very near the Holme Moss climb

    If you visit the show you will have a chance to meet Paul Dooley, a long standing contributor to EDRD magazine, who's launching his new book, "All Born With A Hunters Instinct". It's a great read from a born countryman/naturalist.

    It's a good read folks and I had fun helping Ron out with his research. Brait proved to be a bit of an enigma right to the end. Good luck with it Ron

    I have that book and edition in mint condition. It's now available as a reprint I think via Read books. Good read

    I control rabbits and mink for the RSPB and have been known to sort out Canadas. At local level they also keep the fox population down. There are people working on their behalf that look for signs of predators, footings, droppings, scats etc. There's a big push to save the vole where I work so mink are discouraged from getting a foot hold, which is a good thing.

    Three minutes in and Badgers were mentioned on Monday, even less time last night. And Oddie going on about the Hedgehog and it's demise....Due to habitat loss apparently! Surely if that's the case, wouldn't there be less badgers, foxes and birds of prey, 'cos they all share the same habitat don't they? Bollocks Oddie, what about Brock eating our prickly friend. It must cost us a fortune to make the programme because you have cameras filming those being filmed! What's all that about?
  22. cragman
    Absolutely, them clothes are a thing of the past or for the show ring. I walk miles with the foot packs and it's at least the three layered system for me, no sweaty shirt and sweaty bollocks here!

    It will be PSGs "Torres" moment if they pay that.

    Before I get shouted down, this is friendly advice not a moan. Great photos lads but don't forget to put the cover back over the nests you're photographing. I remember visiting a Bullfinches several times to see how it was doing and on my last visit the nest had been predated. Check there's nowt clocking you like a Maggie or crow. You can do feck all about Stoats or Weasels rummaging around in the undergrowth but don't help the corvids.

    Slightly off topic but I went to see the Seekers last weekend in Liverpool. For those that have never heard of them, they're a sixties Austrailian group, still all together but very much in the twilight of their careers. Now some have said that they would not be the same as they were in their hey day...Well the Seekers were. Ok, allow for age to change one or two things like voice range and looks but I wasn't disappointed at all. They were really good, in fact excellent. I've kind of grown older with them and have always wanted to see them play live. Love to see Kate Bush too, I don't think yo
