The Wild Fishing Forum

This was a training walk just to test my fitness. A walk up to a hill loch, spend the night, then walk back down. If you have an hour of your life you wont get back then thanks for watching

Already got a headband magnifier I look like that guy in "Honey I Shrunk The Kids"

That's not so good.

You could always get something like this

I won't stop, I'll just do different things, sadly fly fishing might have to go.

Is it just deteriorating or cataracts?

We spoke to 2 individuals from the shooting club, one very nice lady and later a chap who seemed to have a  bit of a gung-ho attitude. Both were OK although I was left with the impression they didn't really understand Scottish access law.

There are signs up, but signs don't stop bullets. Where they are shooting is on the route of a very popular circular walk.

Might well be all OK and above board although knowing how strict UK gun law is it is all rather astonishing.

Check to see if the range is home office approved.

If it is they will have completed the necessary risk assessments.

Having shit in many rifle ranges it's very hard to imagine the public are at risk if it's been approved and has qualified range commanders running the shooting there.

You guys have no resilience, get out there and don't stop until you can't. Fred, you are fitter than me for getting into the hills and get a cheap pair of reading glasses from the pound shop for tying flies or a magnifier light

Last year it took me five hours to walk in carrying the rucksack, 3 miles that normally took 2 hours. This year I had a test walk again five hours for 3 miles that normally takes two hours. I have just finished editing the video and got it down to an hour in length, I may post it for viewing but not many people will stay the course and watch it all

Are there warning notices up? If not it could be a police matter.
