Lammerlaw had a far better command of the English language.

He was able to paint a wonderful picture as to what should happen to such creatures. His knowledge of anatomy and gymnastics was outstanding. It was so vivid it would put a 3D movie to shame.

Hi Guys, I tried something new this weekend just gone regarding moss removal with good results, after you worked the moss clean up that bedrock with an automotive scotch brite pad washing it off in a bucket and then panning it, you'll be amazed what you collect out off those crevices as well guys, might be old news thought id share just in case, but hey if your putting the effort in you might as well.......

Good tip - I've usually had a frustrating tip trying to get a bit of water in those crevices and then using the crevice sucker, but usually without much success. Awesome tip - thanks Richie!
