  6. I got a lazer light tomo too when they first hit the seen, at the time they were a good little lamp, strong reliable and had the side light. But they seem like a torch now, the beam just dosent throw far enough. Feck nows how we used to lamp with them, as to todays standards they just dont seem up to scratch, just my opinion Cheers Atb

I too had my first proper lamp from kings bought out of there advert in shooting news when it was a proper magazine and not a paper, it was the black square lamp with the handle on the back and switch on top.

  17. Any body read any of Mike Tomkies books ? I have read a few and there a refreshing change. Mike Tomkies was a ex coldstream guard and a journalist. Some of his books are A LAST WHILE PLACE and OUT OF THE WILD and WILDCAT HAVEN and my favorite is MOOBLI about a GSD dog called moobli who he bought as a companion and to use for tracking wild life. He goes to live on a remote scottish croft with no amenities and it can only be got two by boat, and there he writes about his isolated existence and tracks and observes highland deer wild cats eagles and other wild life, its well worth a read. You can
  18. As already been said THE GREAT GAME a cracking book, another one i read which is a true story and a good read is KENZIE The Wild Goose Man by colin willcock about a poacher turned naturalist, defo worth a read Cheers Atb

  20. Looks like you had a good crack mate, will make it next time Cheers Atb
  21. I went and watched one of the trials as a spectator, it was held in Scotland in Blairgowrie and was back in the early 90,s. Cant remember the exact crack, but the dogs were judged on ferreting and hunting up and lamping. I cant remember the exact dogs but S Bartons Rooney ( GSD x Grey ) and Marc H Glens Danny ( Beardie x Grey, and he used to write for EDRD ) were two of them. I remember we had a good crack that weekend. As far as i know it hasn't gone on for years, but i do remember something about one being held in cheshire if anybody can shed any light on it ? Cheers Atb
