About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have only been back once to UK since 2003 as part of an european holiday. Can't say I hated UK but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work. It simply wasn't me or my happy place.
Location:
Havelock/Linkwater or Ashburton Lakes

    Whatever you choose, be sure to practise with it before going hunting. I learnt this the hard way a few weeks back. I’d been hitting gongs reliably at 380m, then took aim at a fallow 230m across...

    Should add, when I did my tent floor I applied a second coat when dry. Worked extremely well to the point that I pitched the tent on grass with water puddles (only spot) and no water came through,...
