I offered to run a session in Dunham Park back in Nov/Dec but I only had one taker.
Anyone else interested?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

qwertyuiop7, glad to see you are still hangong around after our ebay airbag discussions, did you get any sort of satisfactory resolution or did you just send the boys round and kick the scrote?

Get one of those Nerf type foam footballs with a tail, stuff transmitter in it, lozz it backwards over your head into thick bushes/bracken etc.

qwertyuiop7, out in the woods or on a heather-covered hillside is pretty useful practise, usually easy to stash it out of sight in that kind of environment.
One other tactic I've used in similar circumstances is to scatter a load of black bags with a bit of sand in them over a wide area. The transceiver is hidden in one bag only, so you don't get much of a visual clue other than the most metre or so (which is an art in itself, of course).

PayPal paid out in full within 7 days of opening a claim, eBay then shut his account. So a good result all round.
Still on the lookout for an airbag but can't make my mind up which one I should get?

There's transciver parks at Glenmore Lodge, Glencoe and Aonach Mhor, all a long way from Cheshire. You could try Plas-y-Brenin they might have one. Other than that scree slopes or deep leaves.

If you've already bought two beacons then the hard part is done, just go out with a mate and get creative, you don't always have to bury it

FAQ
then one of us hides a transmitter in that area and the other goes to find it. Leaves are good for this. It also works on the moors.
