Hi Sarg,

Well done, that's a cracking photo, lovely to see and thanks for sharing.

In my search for original images, I have only found one such image thus far and certainly not as clear as this one.

Great to see.

Cheers, Roy.

That's a great photo! I like the hats and the overall style. Not any camo in the bunch. How did they ever succeed?

The hobnail boots make sneaking around on the rocks much easier too……

Checking the wind with a smoke as well.

I like the style and hats as well. Much better than the hideous camo stuff from Cabelas and the like. Westley Richards has a great selection of very nice 'gentleman's' sporting clothing which is not terribly expensive, and the web service is first rate. They source many items from small family manufacturers in the UK, Italy, the US and elsewhere.

Sarg,

The photos no longer appear. What's up? I'd love to see them.
