    Shipping container on agriculture land

    We've got four and nobody has said anything about them apart from one of the parks footpath team asked where I'd got them from as he thought they must be a good idea for keeping things secure.

    Fields that are still too wet for travelling are going to get a cover crop broadcast on after a light cultvator when it gets a dry crust on top. Bald patches in fields are going to get left till they dry and crack deep, then I've got a muck heap thats like pipe baccy to spread on them.

    Fac Variation and Which large calibre rifle?

    Have a look in your favourite gun shop and see which ammo they keep in stock then work from there. It's a pain in the rear if you end up driving miles to re stock. I have a .243, used to have a .308 and if I was starting again I'd probably go 6.5x55 or creedmoor.

We staggered the electrical sockets...

    Brother in law needed a footpath diverting for the same reason in County Durham and was advised to have a word with the local ramblers association, whoever he spoke to said they didn't mind so long as the footpath didn't end up shorter overall.. I can't remember it costing alot but it would be...
