Well it's been a long time in the getting a motley enough crew together, I think we've managed fairly well. Thanks to Mick91 for setting the wheels in motion and for organising the meet.
So, 4 of us set off into the woods after parking up in Ovingham for the trek to a fantastic spot ( my first time with theses guys )
Mick91
Johnie
Damien ( not yet a member here )

After getting a fire going for a brew all manner of seats being were being constructed, some from leftovers from storm Desmond that had washed down, you can just make out the stream in the background.

The daylight and indeed day went far to quick and after a few of us snacked on boil in the bag meals it was time to get the main event cooking, bushy stew, I cant remember all the meats that went into it, I'll let Mick brief us on that score.

Meal time over it was time for tales, Nuggets had quiet a few words of 'wisdom' not to be repeated here but kept us all smiling![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Nuggets and my set ups, now I had issues, the first time I've used the webbing slings that came with the DD superlight hammock, anyway, I woke in the morning with my backside just touching the floor, my hammock had sunk by around 2 feet, anyone else ever have this ?

All done and dusted the crisp walk out back to the car

Crisp but beautiful, it's scenes like this that want you to turn around and stay, great overnighter, thanks to all for the company and effort that went into making it a great experience. Sorry to Nuggetes for not making an appearance on camera, not sure what happened, any way, cheers guys, see you on the next one.
