  1. I've sold my guns and have a surplus of cleaning and hun maintenance gear.

    Gun oils, sprays, cleaning rags, bore rods, scrubbers, polishers...  All sorts!

    I don't want any money for it all (and I mean ALL..!) but rather than chuck it or drip feed it away I'd rather it went in one go and to someone who'd appreciate it. Maybe your kid is starting out or someone is on hard times.

    Get in touch if you'd like to come and collect it all. AL2 postcode, south Herts M25 J21a area.

  2. Having sold the guns I no longer have a need for my collection of carts.

    I'd prefer if it they went in job lots - i.e. all the clay ones and all the games ones. But drop me a message and see what we can do.

    I have :

    These carts were bought a few years back so the packaging shown in the links above is not what these carts came in but to the best of my knowledge are the same product.

    I'd like :

    • £40 for the Eley Superb's
    • £30 for the Back Gold's
    • £15 for the Rio's
    • Lets say £10 for the rest

    If you take all of them I'll take £70 and you might also find something useful in my stash of cleaning and gun maintenance clobber.

    Collection only please (AL2 postcode area, that's south Herts near M25 J21a) and I'll need to see your ticket, obvs.

  3. Nationwide are very clear with their charges as are all lenders. There is no barrel and you're not being held over it! Perhaps you didn't read and/or understand the key facts..!

     

    Assume you've looked at renting, even just short term until ERC period is up? Even if giving the house over to an agent to make it rentable (safety checks etc) will cost a few quid it's not going to be £5k and you'll likely get a bit more back in equity when you need to sell it next year.

  4. My cousin used to trap there. When they did flurries/flushes it was all manual traps with a bunch of trappers. The instructor would see where the gun was weak and get the trappers (different whistles) in that area throwing more clays out/adjust their flight etc.

     

    The trappers would clean the guns for the clients after each session, would get to see some beautiful stuff. Used to get half decent tips from most of the clients too.

  5. Burn the ash green. Your tree surgeon will thank you for not having to lug it around but do ask them to cut the cord wood to a size you want. Then split after a few weeks and store in a place that is covered from rain but open to the air.

     

    Wood fires work best in a box with no draw from the bottom and plenty of ashes in the bottom. Don't bother clearing out the old ashes too frequently.

     

    Ultimately if you want to use your fire often you'll need a supply of timber and somewhere to store it. A couple of old pallets as a base and an open frame with a roof. There are bound to people local to you who'll drop a transit load of half decent timber on your drive for under a £100. Or you can get very good seasoned or kiln dried from CPL Distrubution much cheaper than the garage or garden centre.

  6. I'm just waiting to hear how far this goes back,

     

    I have a 2006 Seat Altea with the 2.0 TDI engine pushing out 170BHP,

     

    I already pay £210 in vehicle tax so will be mighty peeved if expected to pay more,

     

    Hopefully it's very newish cars

     

    :shaun:

    Your engine is either an ea188 or an ea189. Both same power. Ea188 is a PD unit, the 189 a CR.

     

    SEAT will inform you or you should be able to look up yourself (with VIN) in a short while.

  7. Herts depart at 05:30 via Dover-Calais and you will be just a bit north of Biarittiz (Dax) by 17:30.

     

    I've also done same journey by train which is also a 10-12hr job depending on transits in Paris and the TGV stops.

     

    Have also flown back and flying would be my last choice.

     

    Tolls will add up but the flexibility of the motor down there will be nice. Driving to San Sebastián and a jaunt up the Pyrenees would be rude if not done while you're that way.

     

    Train v relaxing and if doing Eurocamp then you don't need to worry about lugging a tent and all the gear.

     

    Less Brits down that way too which is always a bonus. A bit further than the Loire.
