Mad twisted reversed life ive had.................only just started doing most of them

what was 49 geo somthing??   done the others,,, was in cubs ,, then scouts,, and venture scouts,,, growing up in a little village,, you find your own enternment,,,,

Done this as a kid also used to collect frog spawn and watch it turn into tadpoles then frogs then we'd let them go down the river...... I'm glad I wasn't addicted to computer games like a lot of kids

Anyone used to catch sticklebacks? I used to catch bugs and bees in jam jars, and make wasp traps with sugar water.

Building dens with your mates was the best, you got that feeling of being 'safe' from adults. Especially the lump hammer type :icon_eek:

yeah used to catch em with my hands - had to handle with care to prevent being stickled!

Lol mate,

I loved all the outside things and still do, the biggest worry is letting your kids go and have the freedom of years ago, you can't let them find out for themselves like we did, it just doesn't feel safe anymore. We were out at light and in at dark, no mobiles to check up...... I couldn't let my kids do that now unfortunately

Things aren't really any worse now than they were then, its more that the perception is worse now than it was then.

You maybe right mate, although I think the country has changed a lot in the last 20/25 years though....even down to some of the open spaces we played on are now supermarkets and 2 huge trunk roads.... 1 of my favorite ferreting hedges when I was a kid is now sainsbury's boundary wall....

 

We used to turn stones in a steam off the tidal exe and catch eels. My grandad told me he could catch them by lowering a pair of tights filled with liver into the stream at high water and wait till the tide went out and the eels would be stuck to it because there teeth got caught.... Never knew if was true or not.... Used to play a game where you had to get from one end of the woods to the other without touching the floor, we were like monkeys by 11 3/4......
