I have an entertaining contribution if we're talking movie night in the barn. The recent posts about Glen Dochart reminded me of it.

...can almost hear Doc cringing from eighty-odd miles away. :D


Glen Dochart....he's a folk singer isn't he?

I'm sure nobody wants to hear about that minor navigational error on the Dochart rapids.....:eek:

Really sorry folks but the laptop and projector is needed this weekend by SWMBO, she's been landed doing a course this Saturday so needs it for that.

Don't worry about it John, you'll just have to tell us all about it round the fire ;)

Just thought I'd mention that Nathan and I are planning a bit of ropework practice...
...in case anyone has a harness they'd like to pack.
It'll just be hanging around stuff - prusiking, abseiling past knots and the likes.

Should get there early afternoon. Hoping to swing by the farm on the way and raid it for for some whittlin' duty greenwood. It's less about whether I can be bothered and more about whether I can face leaving a car with a meetful of toys sitting alone for half an hour....:rolleyes:

Just like to say a big thanks to Dave, Liz, and Nathan for yet another brilliant weekend, lots of toys to play with, air rifles and such with fancy scopes, binos, stalking scopes, night vision scope, and bows not to mention a certain demijohn of home made falling down water from chateaux de headache. Thanks to everyone who brought the kit to play with Doc, Groovski, Tripi, Gallaine, and of course Scotty for the firewater. Once again great company with some new faces joining us which is great to see. It's apparent that this is becoming more and more popular every time it happens. I don't know so much about ventile and goretex, some of us would have been better off with a wetsuit and a mask and snorkel (no names mentioned) but great fun was had by all.
Maybe next time we'll get a chance to do GBH to a banana and get to stitch it back up as promised by Doc, but even the dogs are learning stuff at these meets one peeling bananas and another doing it's impression of Houdini and singing "Who ate all the Pies". Thanks again to everyone who attended and making it another fantastic weekend.
Oh and not forgetting the new forest noises we heard like "Twang Thump" Bu**er it, I'll sort it in the morning!

A great weekend - many thanks to Dave and Liz for making it all possible, and thanks to everybody for their great company.

Have to say that homemade Cornish pasties go down very well with the 2008 vintage Chateau Scotty.

Had a cracking time too. Many thanks Morch and Mischief and all the good ol' boys.

...and a special absentee cheers to Russ for the pegs. The wind on friday night was having a good go at sending the shelter northwards but it didn't stand a chance. :)

Great stuff! Looking forward to the next one. :D
