The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,041 1735, I live in a seaside town so we have our own beach.
crazytanker Active member Jul 1, 2014 #14,042 1736 Actually, I've only ever been to a real beach to "relax" once in my lifetime. Now I've spent plenty of time "playing" in sand...but that's a horse of a different color.

The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,043 1737, I never got to serve in the sandpit, first time round, I was down in the Falklands.

The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,045 1739. We just had sleeping bags, most of the time on exercise was spent on traffic control. So we had canvas command posts. We didn't get campbeds.

crazytanker Active member Jul 1, 2014 #14,046 1740 well the reason I say that is because I've had a couple of times where I've opened a sleeping bag to find something hiding out.

The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,047 1741. Thankfully we don't have have poisonous beasties.
crazytanker Active member Jul 1, 2014 #14,048 1742 Technically speaking, spiders, scorpions, etc are venomous, not poisonous.
The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,049 1743, I'll rephrase it, apart from one snake, we have nothing that wants to kill us.
The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,051 1745, its also safe! Apart from working on a high speed road!!
The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,053 1747 apart from yesterday when it was at a crawl due to volume of traffic!
crazytanker Active member Jul 1, 2014 #14,054 1748 now do you have a normal area, or are you all over the place?
The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,055 1749, we have 3 recognised patrol beats in my county.
The Highway Man Brit Pack 2I/C Jul 1, 2014 #14,057 1751, I normally patrol the 2 quieter beats, but yesterday I was on the busy beat!
