Anyone know where I can get the small rubber cones as used by the training schools to use for practice for my mod 1?

Erm I'll be diplomatic , avoiding anything roughly the same size as a cone is the same as avoiding a cone
Make of that what you will , it worries me sometimes who is actually out on their own

Kids football training cones worked a treat for me but I wouldn't have bought any though, just had them in the garage  :thumbsup

tesco extra has small cones in their fitness section (you can have mine if you're near neath). Its all pyschological when learning, avoiding coke bottles is just not the same!

Borrow some children and get them to stand there instead of cones.
It'll help your concentration!
