  1. Been using one of these for a couple of years now. Never had to buy gas, petrol etc since. Bloomin' marvelous http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/733-The-Honey-Stove/
  2. You wouldn't believe the number of times I've been asked to buy something in Guernsey to take back to the UK, or friends have asked me to order stuff online (minus VAT) for them to collect and take back after a visit. Not that I ever would of course
  3. I've had a set of 3 Txi plus and receiver for 18 months with no problems at all- including the battery cover fitting perfectly. I've used them on a 48 hour session where it rained constantly - and I mean it rained for 48 hours. Non stop. No problems. I have even dropped one in the lake and it still works fine. Down here we don't pay VAT so I got my set, plus the night light hangers for under £400. I don't know if that is is good value for money or not. I'll let you know in 10 years
  4. Many thanks guys, I'll give it try.
  5. Do you need to strip both ends then? One end for the hair and the other to tie to the swivel
  6. I've never used it, so sorry in advance if this seems a stupid question. I've just been reading some of the rig tying threads and it got me thinking I should have more versatility in my rig wallet What advantages does coated braid offer and when should I use it instead of my usual fluorocarbon or braid hook links?
  7. I have fished there once, as the guest of a member, about 2 years ago. I blanked but he landed a low thirties. It's just off the A35 between Dorchester & Poole. It's £475 a year to join. You could just actually click on the link you know and see all this for yourself. Here it is again http://pallingtonlakes.com/index.html
  8. http://pallingtonlakes.com/ Members only now though
  9. Another vote for Bluebell. 3 lakes to choose from plus a stretch of river, decent bacon sandwiches and a cup of tea in the morning, local curry house delivers and if you fancy reeling the rods in, a great pub just up road. What more could you possibly need?
