First camp of the year.

Finally got out to the woods this weekend, for a much needed break.
Weather was a mixed bag, overcast and dry on Friday but down to 4 degrees overnight. Saturday was sunny with cloudy intervals, but by late afternoon storm Freya started to make herself known. The communal shelter
with the sides down meant we were all comfy around the fire and out of the worst of the wind. Rain started around midnight and was still raining when we all packed up.
Some whittling and a couple of walks around the farm and woods, made for an enjoyble and relaxing weekend.

Heating a chicken and mushroom pasta ration pack for saturday lunch outside my home for the weekend.


View from my pit.

The communal semi permanent shelter.

Good timing weather wise, crosslandkelly. It's howling a bit now, down here on the coast. That woodland in full leaf is probably nicely sheltered is it ?

Looks like a great place to have a camp

You can hardly feel a breath of wind when the wood is leaf. On the other hand though, the humidity can be high.

Chilled outing by the sound of it, woodland, whittling and walking is sufficient to calm a person......I’m in need of another outing soon.

Looks like a well organised set up
, great to get out

Nice setup, when you in the tarp do you ‘close’ the doors?

Good stuff. I'd love to get back over for a meet. I may try and convince some north wood people to do a site visit this year.
I love the total silence you get in Suffolk as opposed to the endless traffic noise in the midlands...
And the lack of light pollution.
A Daniel Boone meet perhaps?

I did on the Saturday night, but then had some condensation inside th tarp.
