West Country Wander Again

[Neil1]

A couple of months back I organised a little day walk for a few of us down here in the west.
Now for those who can't wait for the Widecombe meet, I thought I would put together another midweek walk.
I can do either Wednesday or Thursday next week and will probably choose one of the moors wooded valleys (perhaps a little "obstacle crossing" if the weather is warm).
Please let me know if any of you are interested.

I'll see what I am upto, but should be able to make it

 

[greg2935]

I might be able to do that depending on work!

 

[Neil1]

OK, lets go for Thursday.
Meet @ New Bridge car park (follow Holne Chase from Ashburton), those interested PM me for a kit list you will need, as we will cover a few basic subjects on the day.
I can pick up in Exeter if anyone needs a lift, but places are limited, again PM me for details.

i just want to say a big thank you to neil1 and leon1 for making this a great day out, and for taking the time and trouble to help out a newby to bushcraft.
thanks again guys.

 

[leon-1]

No problems glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again soon.

 

[Neil1]

It was my pleasure Tim, its always good to pass on skills, that is the how this knowledge should be shared - freely.
Best of luck on your course, I hope you are a little more wise as to what you need when you are packing for it.
Neil
PS - I'll let you know when I'm out & about next.
Neil

Well here are a few pictures from Thursday

This was where we did the River Crossing

This is Neil1 standing (modelling the BCUK T-shirt and bushcraft sarong (shemagh)) and luxorone after the river crossing

and for anyone that was on the Dartmoor meet last year the water was exactly the same............................................................................. lovely

After we had a brew Neil1 showed luxorone one of the hammocks that he has made

Looks like it was a cracking day out, really gutted I missed it. Maybe another time I can show you the "Arctic Hobo traverse" ( ) - a variant of the Tyrolean traverse.
