The hardest thing about 20g's is trying to munch the fuckers down.  :laugh:

I reckon I could do the 40g like that guy in the video  you posted. The ideal setting? Naked on a forest floor.  :abbath:


Went to the usual two fields outside town today. I was going to wait till Sunday because I was there last Friday (I like to wait 10 days between picks) but I still got 150.....
Not so bab....  ;D

Happy days! I haven't been out siince last sunday, but a few lads have said they aren't as plentiful this week. Of course that could be down to the massive hauls we have all been scoring..

I'm giving today's pick to my friend who owns a great wee coffee house in town.
Every time I go in he won't let me pay for my coffee. He's working 6 days a week so hasn't time to get out picking himself.
Well tomorrow I'm handing him a coffee jar that is out of this world.
Cant wait to see his face..  ;D

I've er had a bad week too. Gis a few der mate

One would ideally like to pick enough to dice out to everyone. That's how I feel about the little gifts anyway. He will surely be pure delighted with that jar fair play

You know you're a hard-core mushie picker as the farmer is driving his tractor in the gate of the field and you pick 4 of the little beauties as you're running on the way to hop over the fence.  :laugh:

I'll be back there on Sunday though....  :abbath:

Only got 14 today on a wee trek. Very sparse, no clusters just the odd one here and there

'Twas hardcore last year when the farmer drove his jeep into the field and meself and pal just stayed picking. All he did was pull up beside us and a bit of howye lads grand day etc and then off on his merry way. My mate left him a tin of USA biscuits at the gate of the field with a thank you note on it at the end of the season. I decided years back if any farmer asked me what I was at I'd just say I was picking mushrooms and if he told me to fuck out of it, fair enough. It happened with another farmer a couple of years ago when he came into the field after me saying 2 of his neighbours had spotted my car pulled up at the field and rang him. I told him what I was at, got chatting and he said he knew my parents and I was welcome any time and also pointed out which other fields of his were grazed a bit shorter for convenience. The only downside was that the pickings were bad there but sure ah well.

Was out this morning for a bit. Got around 350 in 2 hours and roughly same for the fella with me. Have em laid out on the grease proof paper now as per your suggestion. They were all fresh up as well so be ready for the next flush any time now.


The only place I've ever found them is golf clubs.
Only managed to get out for the first time last week. Brought a friend with me and we managed to get roughly 800 between us in about 2 hrs. Not too bad! There was still loads left so will be back on Sunday.
They seem to be out in full force this year.

Ah, when I'm out picking alone I like to stay low key and under the radar.
In company picking don't give a shit. A farmer or land owner is less likely to approach a couple of (or a few) lads looking hard into the grass.  :laugh:

Went back today in the pissing wind & rain. I got 8 in one of the fields and none in the other.
I didn't see many on Friday afternoon when I was fleetingly there.
It's not that cold yet for them to have disappeared and there wasn't any signs of anyone else picking.
What's it like further down South lately.?

I'll try another place tomorrow and see what it's like.

It's still going well where I am anyway but seemingly restricted to one single field that has been feeding a large amount of pickers all season. That is second hand info though and I'll be back out myself on Friday to confirm it. It's definitely nowhere near cold enough to finish them off yet anyway. This pissing rain should keep it going for another bit hopefully
