steve_b_wales Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Excellent Mel. It's a shame we couldn't meet up (again) today, the weather beat us once more. Hopefully in the not too distant future, it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to get one of them taken care of today , but the weather changed our plans. 21 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Very pleasant Mel. Cheers dave , it was lovely yesterday ,but the torrential rain started at 1 am ish , so we made our way home this morning, we left a swamp behind. It must have gotten a bit windy in the week, because the roof has been ripped from the toilet/shower tent 😆 1 minute ago, mossy835 said: nice place, how big is it.

mel b3 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 We've had a trail cam running since we got the woodland we've only caught one clip of a fox ,and one clip that we think was a badger , we do have a couple of squirrels that pop up now and again , and lots of woodland birds , the main footage though ,is the farmers sheep from next door , and loads of pheasants from the local shoot.

We had the chance to buy a great piece of woodland on the river avon , it had mooring and fishing rights , I absolutely loved it , unfortunately it also had eastern Europeans destroying the piece of public land next door , it would have been a constant fight to keep them out 😕.
