I'm guessing that's the area you pointed out to me the other week. I'd be worried about men in dressing gowns at parks just quietly (even if they are in their own homes). Might want to keep an ear out for anyone sneaking up behind you! especially if your digging a plug.

You put the time and effort into your hunts and it certainly pays off for you, as usual well done Tony.
