well then what happened to the rain.
arrrrrrrrr never mind best to be on the safe side as some would of had a long journey .
next time will be end of October but that will be in total darkness no good what so ever for the people that want to learn.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEIR PUMP.
what we could do is set up a time and day and go for blow lug in the daylight / it would set you up ready to tackle the blacks when you go
any interest leave a reply.
cheers brian
sack the weather people?

Don`t think pumping in darkness is much of a prob,to be honest Brian,as long as people have good headlights

Re: sack the weather people?
I'll keep an eye for any dates you suggest Brian... got a head lamp so happy to try in the dark... setting up my pump with the dog ball washer this weekend so may have a little practice tomorrow if the rain holds back

Turn your pump upside down,and with your feet over the handle,put the palm of your hand over the end of the pump,and pull the shaft up...if it`s set well,it`ll pinch the skin on your hand.Sean_D wrote:I'll keep an eye for any dates you suggest Brian... got a head lamp so happy to try in the dark... setting up my pump with the dog ball washer this weekend so may have a little practice tomorrow if the rain holds back

Re: sack the weather people?
A point worth mentioning for anyone new to pumping,is to stay close to whoever you go out with....i`ve lost count of the lads who have been out with me,watched me for 2 mins before wandering off and struggling for the rest of the session.I`ve got all the time in the world to help when i`m out there,but i`m not gunna go looking for you ,so if you`re not getting the worms,come back to me,watch me again and ask any questions

I learned to pump a worm in the dark before I had the nerve to do it in daylight
