We have two critters <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> The country park is ace, if your dogs are lively keep them on the lead near the cliff path bit. You can get on from the East Hill or Barley Lane, or drive along to Fairlight and park up....

I am now getting to the stage where this could be a reality! :w00t: Those of you who actually do it - is it worth the schlep? Honestly and from actual experience?

Does anyone here live, or know someone who lives on Cavendish Avenue? It is an unmade road and from the look of the map, the railway tracks run directly underneath it. I was wondering if the trains have an effect on the houses; can you fell them under the ground? Any vibration or engine noise? Just ...

Ah, I see - thank you! When I was a kid, we used to dig them up - and it is hard work! It was just such a novel thing and I was a little bit wary of approaching any of them in case it was something they shouldn't have been doing and they 'resented' the intrusion. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}...
