I had a great time, it was nice to finally meet people from the site that I felt that I knew so well already. Topics of discussion were sometimes such that the Mods here would have had heart attacks, but it was all good humoured fun and I learnt quite a lot of things, maybe not all bushcrafty stuff, but most of it raised a few chuckles!!
I can't wait for the next one. Goose, thanks very much for organising this one. I'm sorry that the fire demonstration didn't work out, but it seemed that nothing quite went as planned this weekend, the bottle breaking for candle holders didn't want to play the game neither. Maybe another time!
And as a final point (and this may get me flamed!) I finally got to see a Woody in the flesh, and don't know why all the fuss! It's way too big for my hands and we all know the real reason it commands the price it does! It was nice to see a collection of different knives and to compare peoples' differing thoughts and ideas on blade shapes and the like. It's definitely food for thought.
