a big thanks to DavidJT and his Archery group for the Invitation!My son and I loved it! (look closely and you'll see 30-50 people!) DavidJT is visible far left.
It was a nice set up several working ranges to "have a go", and loads of types of bow on show from high tech alloy with sights and wheels, glass fibre "toys" for the kids and impressive longbows that were very well made.
there was even a tea room, and loo's.
(and sorry guy's no we can't camp there
)Here's DavidJT Teaching My son! he had about 30 shots, at various targets including realistic 3D foam animals and even telly tubbies!
I met Kimboko and he'd bought along some shiney's!
It's a very impressive and tiny flint/steel and tinder set!
it doesn't look big enough to work but it worked for Kimboko and Me!
the bamboo is about the width of an AA battery and holds the tinder which has a secret ingredient(nice idea!):You_Rock_ .
Kimboko mentioned a camp site in the south of the region his friend own's (was it) and wants people to camp there, can you tell us more? cheers.
Thank's again please tell us when the next one comes up! I thoroughly recommend it, and it is definitely suitable as a family activity!:You_Rock_ :You_Rock_
if that piece of bambo is that small I hate to think what a small piece og flint and still can do and at the size of a finger looks tuff
just dived in and bought another hammock its a treckmates with a mosquito net built in got it for £30 on the evil bay.
and found some wetstones

yup the flint and steel were tiny!
like, 1.5" by 1".
the steel was about the same size as a one of those mini (key fob) tesco point cards.
i was very dubious until i tried it, it really was very good!
easy to snuff out too! half the sucess is the wick running through the bamboo by the way it isn't char cloth!.
Kimboko said the idea came from a tiny aborigonal set that Ray Mears used on TV once.
i think that was bushcraft series 1 episode 1 it should be on youtube I think he used some iron pyreteis or something
The inspiration was from the explorers set shown on TV when RM went to Australia. There was a thread here where people were interested in and some people made their own small flint and steel sets.
If you search for "That Aussie flint & steel" there is a picture in the first thread.
The steel in the set is 50mm by 20mm 01 tool steel and the flint 30mm by 25mm common or garden (round here anyway).

Anyone in norwich area got a small boat I can borrow for a day? I need to go near brundall for a few hours on the river. a row boat or outboard will do.
im afraid i dont have one but would like to know where i can get a kayak and learn how to do it properly in the norwich area
You could ask at whittlingham lane sports center?
a row boat will take a long time!:yikes:
an outboard motor, I think you'd need to pass a outboard driving test first.
(just thinking red tape nowerdays)
I seem to remember some quite strict rules about permits etc but that might be just for canoe/kayak use same as for fishing (it would be worth finding out).
Damascus goes to the kayak club in Norwich he may be able to enlighten you
how about one of the boat hire companies i think there's one near Norwich station.
