@cruffiton, @Emyr – thanks for the input. Have spent some time review hunting - it looks as though Schwalbe have the edge due to availability and an apparent resistance to pointy things. The last few punctures have been thorn, thorn, loose barb from barbed wire (may have been a short bit of baling wire) and thorn. No prizes for guessing the hedgerow species of choice in this part of the world…
