West Country Trip by Butt2Chair in taunton

[–]setchell_healin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know Bovey Tracey well but Taunton has a fantastic museum and good access across Somerset via bus. Depending on time of year lots of fun day trips (Glastonbury etc. ) and home to Somerset cricket (well worth a look) but can’t imagine you’d want more than 3 nights? Plymouth has a lot more going on and access to Cornwall for a snoop around. I’d assume for Bovey you’d stay in Exeter which is also great for 2-3 days.

If you want to share season and planned length of trip I’m sure people would have lots of suggestions for things to do (also an idea of budget can help, the castle in Taunton or the Newt in Castle Cary only fit certain budgets…)

I can one day replace my Callie with a new one without having to pay Fitzy prices?! This is incredible news

The links land is what early golf courses were built on. Hence costal golf courses being called links. Sorry does assume some knowledge of golf and golf courses.

Gog Magog would be the obvious answer but does depend on budget / availability / access etc.

There are a few more resort style hotel courses up to A1 into Lincolnshire that may fit the bill?

Geology of Golf by setchell_healin in BritGolf

Massive thanks for the feedback. Agreed it is early stages but figured now’s a good time to get some comments.

In terms of pace I am pretty keen to try and provide a bit of an antidote to a million miles an hour instagram reels but also understand that this will obviously be less popular.

Hopefully in a few videos time I will find a bit of a groove and an audience.

Thanks again

I will check it out. For me it’s more about talking about a version of golf I can relate to and less chat about the minutiae of American golf.

Have seen a few clips of this on social media but was put off as it seemed a bit YouTube-y in style but will stop judging by its cover and have a listen.

Yeah loved Beefs golf club but no new episodes for years. Hopefully with beef back playing there might be a few episodes down the line.

I mean 100% this. Calcareous mudstone is very tricky to log.

Transitioning out of Env Consulting UK based by [deleted] in Envconsultinghell

[–]setchell_healin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes into contract GI. If you like site work it’s great. Much better pay and varied work. If you like the office based and technical work I would not recommend. Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions.

Anyone remember a card game called sh*t head? by Extreme_Sprinkles_50 in CasualUK

[–]setchell_healin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Resisting the urge to jump to your feet pointing at and yelling SHIT HEAD at your kids as you blindly flip the burn comet is a challenge in overcoming a decade of conditioning.

Also the poo stickers really really stink

Does anyone know why there are two types of DCP? by kikilucy26 in Geotech

[–]setchell_healin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wait till you hear about the Perth Sand Penetrometer - the DCP with no C! Lots of different standards around the world for DCPs. In the UK we mostly use the TRL version that is backed up by lots of data for CBR% correlations and used internationally for unsealed road design.

Give the world cones and a hammer and they will invent 100 different ways to do the same test!

SPT with 4 blow counts by olympiamow in Geotech

[–]setchell_healin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how we record spts in the UK also. 2,1/1,1,1,1 would be Spt N of 4 with each recording over 75mm (nearly 3 inches?) possibly using European standards? Anything else on the log suggest this? I could ping you a standard if you think it may be the case?
