tesco, yes i know its a swear word, are building a wee local store down the road from us, they had some lovely light weight 8ft x 4ft pallets they were throwing out, a quick scrounge and a few hours with a saw and some nails and i'll have an assortment of wooden hurdles in convenient sizes, that will do at least this winter till i can buy some real ones :-)
yay for not quite skip diving!!!
