I'm still using AAFields 4.52 from a big batch from 2014 that were brilliant, I've got 2 sleeves left, I reckon the last 2 sleeves will see me out. Price? £7 per tin. That was the old days!! It's good to see some old names still using a PS, I wish my health would let me get out like I used to but sadly I can't manage a long day with a heavy rifle anymore, a relief for the woodies!! Regards to Pianoman, Bigmac and Villaman, keep going!! Tim. Formerly timmytree. Quote Link to post

I gave out some on here years ago, not sure if they're still available but I could ask if needed. 1 Quote Link to post

Less shooting since rabbits are almost non existent round here. Just a few shots to keep the magpies away from my nesting birds and check zero. Took up kayaking and got an ebike, Tentbox on the car so plenty of mini breaks. Doing some stealthy wildcamps with the ebike and a 2 man tent, great fun. 1 Quote Link to post

I used to do a lot of kayak fishing both at sea and freshwater which I loved, still have one small surf kayak but as I get further into old fartdom, I don't use it anymore in fact I need to see about selling it. I also really fancy an e-bike, the naughty ones that will run without pedaling, fully folding with chunky tires so I could use it on the farms or reaching some of my distant fishing marks along the shoreline.

Phil Lots of ebikes have a throttle option and most can be tweaked to up the top speed. I only really use the power on hills, that increases the range by a lot. I got an Eleglide T1, unlike most bikes it came with lights, mudguards and a decent back rack. I've added a trailer which attaches to the seat post, there's a few places I fish that I can't get close with the car but the bike gets me there. My kayak is a Feelfree double, very stable, I pack the fishing gear or camping stuff in the front and use it in fresh water and at sea. It's great fun paddling along the coast and finding little places to stop overnight. Quote Link to post

I used to get kayaks sent to me for testing and review writing and in fact I had the Moken 10, 12 and 14 fishing kayaks from them so I can say the Moken 12 / 12.5 was my favourite. I set up the UK team for Jackson Kayaks from USA which again were brilliant kayaks and the 14' Cuda I kept, I fitted with a Torqeedo 1hp electric motor which was fantastic. If you are going to fit anchor trolley or fish finder and not to sure about fitting, just let me know and I will talk you through it Tim. I do like the look of your bike Tim, I am fancying the smaller wheel, folding type which seem to do well off road but a stretch for my pension at this time (or any bloody time if I am being honest.)

Phil Thanks Phil, my son made up a trolley with wide wheels for getting down the beach, it attaches through the drain holes. The kayak is light enough to get on and off the car on my own. If you go for an ebike be aware that the wide wheel folders are extremely difficult to pedal normally and usually more expensive than large wheel non folders. Mine was £784 last summer and has been great, Longest ride to date was 37 miles and managed just under 50 miles on a charge. I often use mine in preference to the car, I can carry a full food shop and stop off for a couple of beers on the way home. On nice days I just go out for the fun of it. There is an earlier model, the M1 or M1+ which can be found for around £600 1 Quote Link to post
