Yoggy Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 At least you`ll be indoors, just took me 2 hours to thaw out after being outside in it for 8 hrs!!. But if I were shooting it would be different!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 All my wildfowling gear is ready for as soon as i can get down the marsh! Might be an interesting drive down to sheps though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Could be worse, I was stuck in lectures about cancer today,(happy days) and about 4 hours away from the dog,car and marsh Hoping I'll get out soon though. The cold weather has got to help the shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lister1 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Though the rear wheel drive is awful in the snow! Mind you. A risk worth taking for a spot of wildfowling. Edited January 17, 2013 by lister1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be out Saturday, snow or now snow, think I might head out on kirton, as its a neap tide I think I'm going to head out a little further. My last car was rear wheel drive and was useless on wet grass I'm going ti get rid of the BMW in the spring/summer. I've got a landy but its in the workshop, well its half finished but I moved house and now I can't get on till I get my new work shop built.

lister1 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Little bit more to do than change a few parts! I did a full rewire once in freezing temps. Was not fun. Got to redesign and build the front dumb irons. As well as other welding and assembly. Think I'll wait till I get the workshop sorted first. Anyway fancy a trip out on kirton? I wouldn't taking you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Well I just took the dog out for a walk and apart from snow all the flood water is frozen solid. Which will make a duck flight difficult. So will check on things tomorrow. I couldn`t afford to run my Landy defender 90 when I got married and had kids so it had to go. Must admit I do miss it. Still, my Berlingo van has been brilliant. I`m thinking of getting the model with the slip differential next. Ok not a 4x4 as such but its surprising how they perform in muddy fields after witnessing a friends in action.

lister1 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It probably a good thing that the flood water is frozen because it may send a few duck back out to the foreshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
