Inspired by watching ET yesterday with the kids,
Lets see your best handiwork. This is me aged 14ish with Gary Cowler (in case anyone remebers the name) and our best effort in Littleover alotments, Derby.
Proper narrow nettle stinging about runup then small clearing and about 15' + jump, turn in the air or your of into more nettles. To spice it up a bit we used to fill the pit with fire. As you do. Not clearing it wasn't really an option!
