  1. All I can suggest is get in touch with a local club, hopefully someone there might have a second hand bike that one of their kids have outgrown. Make the most of cycling with him while you can still keep up with him, I go out with my 19 year old son now. I'm blowing a gasket and he just disappears up the road.
  2. Just to let anyone know who might be interested, Peacocks auctioneers have a sale of game keeping equipment this Saturday at Bedford.
  3. Walking the dogs this evening heard the first cuckoo around here for probably 5/6 years. Bitterns are resident around some of the old clay pits locally.
  4. I saw 1 on its own last night, my wife said she had seen some earlier in the week, but her bird identification leaves a bit to be desired. 😂😉
  5. Hamilton in fp1 ,halfway through fp2 Bottas by . 424
  6. Cut the grass for the b'n'b guests (Maythorn Farm Stevington if anyone is looking for somewhere to stay) ,now sat down with a large g'n't watching the F1 highlights.
  7. Yep, saw my first couple sat on some wires on the way to work this morning just outside Kempston.
  8. Having grown up on a dairy farm the possibility for death/fun and games where endless, from daring each other to run across the crust on muck heaps, spending hours tunnelling through bale stacks, no big bales.One of the best were the small calf rearing nuts fitted down the barrel of 22 air rifles so making a air powered shotgun.
  9. Ford escort mk1 1300 sport, soon destroyed that engine and put in a 1600 out of a capri.
  10. After doing some work at Woburn Safari park a few years ago ,I learnt that all breeds have a stud book that is kept so all zoos and animal parks can arrange the breeding and movement of specimens around to try and keep a diversity in genes.
  11. On the Atkin Grant and Lang web page they are advertising a gun fitting service while you wait in December, has anyone else tried this?
  12. Latest update. Ridgeons builders merchant have a deal at the moment £50+ vat for a bare unit. So I picked one up at the weekend and tried it tonight. Worked well and lasted well with a 5amp battery. They are also sell a hedge trimmer for the same price.
  13. Southams have an auction at Bedford next Thursday
  14. Thanks for the replies,I think as I already have the batteries will give one a go. It's mainly to tidy up around posts and trees where I can't get with the lawnmower, not large areas of rough grass.
  15. Anybody on here use a cordless strimmer, my 2stroke strimmer is playing up again so I thought about a cordless one might be an option. I have 5amp batterys with my other kit so I could by a bare unit, all my other kit is Makita. Thanks.
  16. After seeing my first swallows on 7th April, I've only seen odd ones passing through up until today, when I saw 3/4 going in and out of the stables where they usually nest.
  17. Swallows arrived in Bedfordshire today.
  18. What do you recommend as a good value large towing vehicle, must be suitable as a family car as well. Thanks

  21. I think it would be worth my while driving to Norfolk to get my mower serviced from now on.
  22. Thanks for the reply,if they are off a 12bore i'm sure they would not fit a 20.If anyone has got a shortened stock for a 686 20 bore I would be interested for my lad .
