I used to run a shoot over two SSSIs. Releasing and/or shooting game and wildfowl was classed as an activity requiring NE consent on one of the SSSIs, where the designation was due to botanical interest. The other SSSI was designated for its geological interest, so game management was not an activity requiring consent. I did get an assent granted by NE for shooting over the botanical SSSI, but wasn’t allowed a release pen there to minimise the effect of birds scratching up the rare plants and lichens. My advice would be to check the list of controlled activities on the magic.gov .uk website then, if necessary talk to your local NE advisor.

Looking for a .177 air rifle, either break barrel or CO2 with scope and moderator. BSA, Crosman, etc. North Derbyshire or South Yorks

Location please?

Are you intending to take on an exclusive lease of the rights or is it a licence granting you permission to exercise the sporting rights? I have held both but the lease required the services of a solicitor, the licence didn’t but is still a wordy document. If you are paying a considerable amount of rent for the sporting rights then a properly drafted agreement is a good idea to protect your interest. if you need example docs please feel free to PM me.

Thanks, just for plodding round our wood. Not too bothered about the neighbours, as long as they’re quieter than a chainsaw. I’ll send you a PM. thanks, I’ll look those up👍

Looking at buying a quad bike for my 8 year old daughter. I wondered if anyone has one of the 800/1000w electric Kids quads and if they’re any better than a 50cc petrol? The lack of piston rings to change appeals to me!

Used Aspen in my saws for years. Expensive but seem to save on repairs to the block. Seems to work best in the newer saws with microchips.

My favourite Bader quote- “Rules are for the guidance of wise men and for the blind obedience of fools.”

Timbrel used to be the one for brambles , until HSE banned it a couple of years ago. I think roundup's about all that's left of any use.

I noticed his obituary in the Telegraph today. He was an important scientific voice for shooting and was an authority on the grey partridge. https://www.gwct.org.uk/news/news/2017/april/****-potts-(1939-2017)/

If you are looking for a weapon for HEMA use Leon Paul sell a long sword I believe, not cheap though!

Pre-ban would have been beagling or hunting with a fell pack.
