Not a lot of bamboo grown in these parts...



Sorry, everyone, I shouldn't be here. Coastal is my game, but the 
Man-hoovering stuff is quite cute. I just wish we actually might have the 
ability to make use of it.

Working in all weathers on a coastal patch takes the edge away.....  bung it 
in to the Diffed GPS and if that don't work, just follow the dot on the 
SIMRAD..
