Took a trip to the woods with Hugo & RockMonkey today, had a great laugh - as always, few pics
The woods starting to look resplendent in their spring colours
But this just plain and simply winds me up, no need for it whatsoever,
unfortunately, we didn't have the space in our packs to carry this lot out, i have however sent a picture of it along with a grid ref to the Estate Office in the hope they can pop up in a landy or 4x4 and pick it up, the office is half a mile away - so fingers crossed, stuff like this and the mountain bikers cutting trees down (not small ones either) to make ramps and jumps are, between them, slowly destroying the woods, i don't blame the kids for the booze, i blame their parents for lack of guidance and discipline
Anyway on to happier things, Hugo whittlin' and my sit hammock set up in the back ground
Made myself a throwing stick from a piece of fallen Ash
Rockmonkey made a canoe bowl and a spoon, didn't get any photo's though, did you get any RM? we decided after a bit of lunch and a couple of brews to go for a wander, so we headed up slope, approaching the top we sat down for a few moments and took in the view through the trees
before heading off to the wikiup for another brew, after which we started to head back
Past the "little peoples houses"
and then into the open to enjoy the view
and talk to some of the other locals
after this we wandered down to the springs and back to the cars, really enjoyable day out as per normal - thanks chaps
