Suffolk Bushcraft Group 2 Night Monthly Meeting 6th & 7th June 2014
- Thread starter Big Stu 12
- Start date
Hi All,
Thanks for a great weekend, the 'lodge' build was great (definition see 1.1, 1.6 & 1.5) us eager beavers now have a den! Yes Stu, you suggested a good name, it gets my vote!
All in all my weekend was going great, going home a bit too early has caused problems.
I was saying to Mike, walking back to the cars, that I'll probably have to get the grass cut this afternoon. Low and behold I did and doing the last two feet of grass, along the drive edge, I backed into the drain, thought I'd twisted my ankle but broke me bl**dy foot!
Now the proud owner of a big black sponge & rubber boot, a pair of crutches and 6 weeks recovery!
Best bit, wife called 999 as I'd passed out a few times, a Paramedic arrived in 5 mins, ambulance crew in 10 mins, in hospital 25 mins later and fast tracked and out of hospital in 45 mins, x-rayed, booted and crutches! The NHS are fantastic as far as I'm concerned.
As I have said, I had a fantastic weekend again, we built a lodge and now I can't get to work, no driving as it's right foot!
Seedless grapes, chocolates and mens mags all welcome!
I'll post my photos soon.

Well done all, the shelter looks the dog's danglies, gutted that I won't be able to get there for a while to bask in it's shade. 
Sorry to hear about the foot Kevin, hope you aren't in too much pain, glad the NHS were able to sort you out so quickly.
Cheers

That's a bit of bad luck my friend, let's hope you mend quickly and can get back out there soon.

Sorry to hear about your foot Kevin. I can only prescribe a membership to Netflix and watch all of breaking bad.
The lodge looks amazing. Can't wait to see it. Good work everyone.
