hi all!
just wanted to share my excitement!
I'm getting away for a few nights tomorrow morning to the Wicklow mountains. This is my first trip since January due to final exams, so I'm over the moon!
the down sides Are that SWMBO is unable to come due to work, so this is solo and I'm going to be on a campsite meaning a tent not a tarp (first time in a while! lol) This is due to me wrecking my shoulder while mountain biking/crashing earlier this week, meaning I don't think I could carry my ruck with gear +food and water for the three days for any distance at the mo, certainly not as far as my current campsite.
still I hope to use the time to have a few drinks/food around the fire, carve a spoon or two, collect a few types of wood for a few projects, take a few pics and maybe a little foraging or having a bash at nettle cordage.
anyone has any suggestions for simple projects (that i won't have to explain/justify-not-crazy to surrounding families) in the next twelve hours that would be great..
If not, see ya all in a few days!
Regards,
Stephen
