  1. About 2ft. The 3ft is the width between the verticals. Yes the angle iron is tacked on. I'll get the actual measurements tomorrow.
  2. I live in Wales. I'll do it now in a minute. Simon - it's my field so no-one to ask.
  3. That's a good call. I'll check out some old fish trap designs.
  4. Next thrilling installment. Spent an hour down there today hacking through tree roots and uncovered this much including the round object highlighted earlier. Still won't budge so I suspect there's more below the ground.
  5. No. I haven't dug it out yet. 😃
  6. Yes. It certainly looks like a round object. 😃 Gimme a chance fellas. It's been chucking it down here and I don't want to get my hair wet. 👨‍🦱

    Excellent idea. Thanks.👍 No. No fruits.
  8. I see where you're going. It is at right angles to the stream. I'll be back there in a few days and check that out.
  9. That would make sense apart from the fact it hinges flat forward or backwards.
  10. It's on the edge of a field about 10 ft from a stream. It looks like it's been there a long time has been put there on purpose. It hasn't just been dumped. I reckon aliens
  11. I found this under a load of bramble in a field. It's a hoop of approx 3/8" steel with a lump of angle iron welded to the top. I tried pulling it out but it's in solid. About 2" below the surface each leg has a round hinge and pin that allows it to move backwards or forward but not side to side and under the hinge appears to be more steel rod going straight down. I don't know how far as I didn't have any digging tools with me. Any ideas? Edited to add: It's about knee height and about 3ft wide.

    Hedge ID

    Didn't get the chance yesterday to put up the 2 different (but maybe the same) dogwoods side by side, so here they are. Top photo is what the garden centre called "red dogwood" and the bottom photo is what they called "common dogwood" - also identified by members here as common dogwood. They look nothing alike. When the garden centre ordered some common dogwood in for us, it was the same as the red dogwood. Rather than try to order some more common dogwood and maybe get the red stuff we already have again, I'm going to transplant some of the stuff we already have into the hedge and save some money. It's a tricky one, but thanks for everyone's replies.

    Well spotted. On closer examination the hedge alternates alder, dogwood, alder. Etc.

    Yes. My bad. The hedge goes alder, dogwood, alder, dogwood, 👍 Mine too.

    We have a massive bush of the stuff the garden centre had at the end of our garden which they said was red dogwood.. Bright red stems and thin pointy leaves. So maybe a cultivar of the common? So confusing. Yellow dogwood. Dont think its that. Our stems just look a woody colour.

    We've got a gap in our hedge and wanted to fill the gap with the same hedging. The bloke at the garden centre assured us it was common dogwood and ordered us some in but on collecting it today it looks nothing like it. The common dogwood he ordered has pointed leaves and red stems. The stuff we have has round leaves and brown stems. This is what we have. Anyone know type of dogwood it is, or if it is even dogwood at all? Ta.
  17. Yes, but with the OE Bridgestone tyres with a much softer sidewall. Says 29. I was thinking of splitting the difference with 32 or 33.
  18. Just got a new set of Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure tyres for my Hilux to replace the ageing Bridgestone Duelers that were on it. The garage said 36psi would be best. (seems high). Toyota recommend 29 psi (seems low, but it was for the Bridgstones and seemed to work OK.) Google gives the answer as somewhere between 29psi and 42 psi.😃 Does anyone run anything similar and what psi do you use? Thanks.

    AUTO RENEW

    My car insurance auto renews. I get a renewal notice and if the price is OK, I let it renew. Last 2 years with the same company it "auto-renewed" followed by a threatening letter a few days later saying that if I didn't pay by so-and-so date they'd cancel it.
  20. She was great with her deadpan remarks. 97 is a good innings.
  21. Couple of hours this afternoon between the showers. Decent few rudd float fishing about 18" deep. Took me right back to my childhood.
  22. Cooper AT3 or Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure. Both more road biased than KO2s.
