My woodworking skills will probably illustrate how not to do it but if it turns out half decent I will certainly post it up to offer some alternatives for others. That is a very big if though!!! :oops:

I am sure you will do an excellent job.

On a bit of a tip,  Dunhelm do some cheap foam rubber in varying sizes.

Kind regards,

11 days to go, and only 1 entry received so far.

It's not that cold out there, honest!  :D

I had my heater on full,  yesterday, and still got very cold.

I noticed my UBC results were way under what I would normally expect.

The severe snow we were promised hasn't appeared yet though.

Kind regards,

Been snowing here for two days solid but slushy kind of snow that turns to ice overnight. Did manage to take the little one sledging yesterday though!

Good effort, I am sure it will work well.

A car wash sponge, from Asda, etc, should work well for a small cushion.

I took the liberty of tweaking your post to turn the web address into a displayed image.

Thanks Phil,

I was struggling a bit.

I have used some pipe insulation tube, and some sleeping mat material to give it flaps to keep it in place.

Oh yes, pipe insulation is a very good liner, I forgot about that, well reminded.

Not much time left now, as we are into the last week.

Despite the snow, the blue skies and sunshine, here, have made shooting easy.

Kind regards,
