I dint hear anything back but to be fair there were a lot more qualified people than me asking! Would be good to hear how it went though!

I wouldn't worry about it too much- but the basc is probably the most widely recognised amongst farmers, at least te ones I know. Are you a member of young farmers? Thats probably got to be one of the easiest ways to get permission, they made a £70 million loss last year so are desperate for new members at the moment! Always worth a try.

Just to add out estate just spent several thousand pounds on a drystone wall- around £50 a metre- compared to about £4 for fencing. We were told by the agency who gave us the grants we were to erect a fence either side of it- including guess what! Barbed wire.

Do you have insurance? Just a thought that its always a good thing to mention, most places prefer it these days.

I would love to hear why barbed wire is utterly unecessary in 90% of its application? As a stock farmer I spend all day every day surrounded by it and have several sheepdogs who can jump clean over it with their paws on the top wire no hassle. If theres some secret fencing method us farmers have been missing out on for the past 100 years I'd love to hear that too.

PM sent explaining the slight delay in communication.

I decided to have a bit of a clear out and have a few jackets I don't really wear- first up is a seeland beater jacket, worn a few times on a couple of stalks but no still perfect condition, size 44- fits me well and I'm 6ft 3- £65 posted. Next is a barbour border jacket, this does have a small hole in the back about half a centimetre diameter but it has been professionally repaired so is still 100% waterproof- again size 44 and only worn a couple of times and is in near new condition apart from the hole- £50 posted. Finally I have a mens full length drizabone lightweight oilskin riding jacket size Xl, the kind that reaches down to your ankles, again worn a couple of times but don't really have any use for it- another impulse buy £85 posted. Also I have an Akubra Kiandra felt hat unused just out the box size 59cm sent over from Australia only £50 posted. Or make me an offer for the whole lot if you want! Knock a fiver off each price if you want to pickup in carlisle as well! Payment as a gift via paypal please or cash on collection. Cheers and ATB, Ross p.s sorry for the lack of photos but I don't have a camera at the moment- if you google any of them they are easy to find!

For sale is my Lisenfeld 8x56 spezial- haven't had it that long but I need a new dog before lambing season kicks off so I'm afraid it has to go. Its got a few minor scratches on the paint but apart from that its optically perfect- if it goes by the end of the week I will throw in the rings for it- Its a 26mm tube I beleive- and some butler creek covers. Anyone will tell you that these are great scopes, usually compared to S&B and the likes but severely underrated! Recorded/insured delivery or pickup near carlisle. Payment by Paypal or cash on pick up. £210 posted or £200 picked up. Thanks and ATB, Ross

I have some good shooting to offer a swop with- penty of land back home in central perthshire with deer/rabbit/hare/pheasant/partridge/pigeon/crows etc and a cottage to stay in. I'm around the brampton area in Cumbria but can travel- I have a 4x4 and an open ticket with .17hmr, .222, and .270 and am fully insured. Cheers, Ross

I'm just moving down to cumbria working on a farm, about 1500 acres of foxing hopefully, maybe rabbts, I haven't really had a look round yet- I'll have a word with the new boss in early January and check they're ok with other people lending a hand.
