  1. Car finance claim

    I have just submitted a claim relating to a loan I took out nearly 20yrs ago! I knew I had a loan for my first Zafira when I got divorced but had lost any traces of paperwork. By shear chance last week whilst having a clear out I came across the meagre file. Anyway I used the free reclaim tool...
  2. Out last night.

    Very bright moon last night. Low and long shadows . Tall vegetation making IR use a pain and saved a fox from its termination.

  5. Police renewal query

    Yes I have heard of similar situations. I swap my referees around. May be a land owner or shooting friends all I know well and in most cases shoot with them so they all know the score. Also some of my previous referees are v busy so not easy to pin down. On my last renewal neither of my...

    Try skiing behind it there is a black run. There is a continuous rain of rock fragments off the N face. First time I saw the Eiger we watched a helicopter recovering 3 dead climbers. Its a beautiful but deadly mountain. D
  10. Tropical weather in Scotland

    That brings back memories of an afternoon walking in the Swiss alps. We were above Grindlewald and could see a storm building around the Eiger. Within a few minutes we were engulfed by a big thunderstorm pretty scary when your high up on a mountain we sought shelter under the overhanging...

  13. Pocket Sized Thermal Which one ?

    I have been using my XQ 38 for 11 years. Permanently on a neck strap. Its never been in a pocket of any sort. Its either hanging off Its strap or in my hand. Its a vital tool and should be used as such. For your budget you could pick up a SH Helion which will do all you need. D
