    Absolutely
    In all honesty, I wanted to bring a couple of projects I've been working on, in between paying jobs - but as you've accurately predicted, they're very much still in bits. Hopefully they'll be ready for the September Bash.
    I did find time to zero a 97 and an LGV just yesterday, so I've got a couple to bring along.
    I'm delivering a stock this morning then working again - my plan is to get a few minutes to myself this evening to finish building and zero a bucket slaying PCP to bring along ( but realistically, there's more chance of me accepting an invitation to a pool party at Barrymore's than there is finding time in this house )
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    I've just ordered a Reximex Myth in .22 for farm work at around 15 - 20 yards and thought the Simmons would be a good scope for the job but the 2-7x32 will be perfect.

    There are overnight closures on the A46 which start at 8pm.
    This may affect the go kart junction.
    Fully open during the day now.

    bringing a few PCPs as I need to downsize, so topping up on air... I forgot how much hassle PCPs are compared with the "simple" springer... now how am I going to squeeze the paddling pool into the car
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Well the back is much better but still didn't like cocking the Sirocco
    TX200 was OK though
    Still will not resort to a pcp like some though

    You could use the bottle to inflate it.

    If you've had enough of the Sirocco tinbum might make an offer.

    I met a very nice young gentleman today who has just returned to air gunning
    Gone in at the top with an ultimate springer and CP scope with a view to competing in HFT

    Discussed reduced cylinders etc

    Then a man even older than I joined the conversation with tales of 30 years of beating. His main ambition was to tell us how powerful his guns had been and how you could take down certain quarry ( which in my FAC days needed1000ft lbs) with sub 12 if you aimed for the right place. Told him I felt different.
    Idiots! Just when you think you've seen them all up pops a new one!

    Gutted to say that I'm not going to make the full weekend for the Bash now. Should still be able to get down for one day, probably the Saturday but nowt more. Bugger.

    TonyL - I'll still bring the 50s Anniversary for you to have a go with.

    it'll be a good day.. I often can only make one day, and it's still a great day out...

    One day is better than nowt, probably all I'll manage at the next one. I wouldn't mind having a look at that rifle too Paul.
