Used too have one in my breakdown truck when I worked for a local breakdown Co. Very easy to use. Very convenient to keep in touch when miles away from your base.

I don’t know much about them Roy, I remember the CB Radio fad in ? late 70’s, I didn’t bother to follow the crowd.


I think they are useful, especially up in the mountains where phone signal is a problem. ‘The Hunt’ usually communicate via CB to let others know when a fox has been spotted. I probably wouldn’t be popular if I had one, I’d send the Hunt in the wrong direction to at least give the Fox a chance.

A good true story about a fox. I’d just moved into my tumble down shack, 40 years ago, no job so mostly at home or looking for work. I’d heard about the ‘Hunt’. It was run by the local farms, no horses, just farmers on foot, with the occasional Land Rover.


One day I was doing some repairs on the hovel. The hounds came running through and past my place, the boy from Birmingham had never seen anything like this before! Anyway, the hounds passed by, yapping and yelping as they went.


A few minutes later, there was a clatter near by. It was the fox! The fox had gone to ground in the old barn. He obviously thought it safe now to make his escape. The noise was him, clambering over one of the half doors of the barn. The hounds had not picked up his scent as they passed by.

Guilty as charged Cc, it was probably the same fox that came around dusk and took one of my hens. That’s gratitude for you......  ;D

Morning good buddie. My son had one on the handle bar of his push bike, just had a nose bag.     :)


A house I owned in Saundersfoot the hunt would go past with all their dogs. But now with everyone being a millionaire the hunt and dogs would be run over as it is now non stop traffic even in the middle of winter on a cold frosty day.
