Years ago I used to do a bit of bird ringing, we would get the occasional Bullfinch and they were possibly the easiest most pleasant bird to handle. They would just relax and let you get on with it, staring up at you with their beak open. Just as well as I bet they could give you a fair nip if...

Sounds like a mk2 It sleeps 2 if you are good friends

I would look at local Forestry Commission Land. It is owned by us I believe, so why not use it.

You could come to Lords Wood at the weekend and watch Bush TV

Almost certainly Chiggers from all the comments. Will not be going there again in September without taking precautions!

Do you get fleas in the woods? Chiggers sounds more likely and are Autumn bugs the same thing?

I spent one night in the woods last weekend and am still itching and scratching from all the bites I got. Have been to the same spot several times and never been bitten by anything. It was not Mozzies, there is no water around, I would have seen or heard them and there is no way they would...

I looked into doing this in quite some detail a few years ago - then we moved to a house that already had one :) - result I remember having a good look at a couple of friends set ups, they had both done it themselves and had both omitted what seemed to me to be a fairly important safety...

That does all sound relevant to this weekend. I woke up during Sat night - something that sounded huge but was probably just an acorn, bounced off my tarp. For a while lay listening to cracking and falling objects - much smaller than the big branch but quite a few of them. I do sometimes...

Just had a look at the H53 link (mine are H52) It doesnt look like the current model the h53 will take the high voltage Lithiums 14500

I have a couple of the Zebralight AA torches and have been very impressed with them. One lives rough, chucked in the bottom of my tool bag and is used several times every day. It has been through the washer a couple of times too. It takes any AA size battery you put in it including 3.7v...

It seems like ages since I was last at Lords Wood, looking forward to it :-)

What time will you be there on 25th Steve? If work allows I will join you early. I might struggle with heavy work due to finger injuries but will do what I can :-) Mike

If no fire possible we could take the opportunity to try out the Pub Food.

1 Woodspirits 26~28 maybe earlier 2 Pieinthesky 26-28 maybe earlier 3 4 5 6

That brings back memories and I remember the smell just looking at the pictures :) I never had the extension but the rest looks about right. Maybe just needs adjusting a bit here and there to get it all hanging a bit neater. I assume you hooked the inner bungies onto the same pegs as the fly...

Doesnt need to be deep in the woods, in fact with a bit of a view would be better. So I guess it will be fine. Thanks Mr Mesquite :-)

I would like to take the family (2 adults + 14yr old daughter) to the Bushmoot this year but am unsure of the camping/hammocking arrangements. Details are a bit vague on the website. It sounds like a massive site but maybe camping areas etc are restricted. We would like to set up a small camp...

Somehow I have managed to get roped into a 24hr pedal car race that weekend so cannot make this meet. I am way overdue a trip to Lords Wood and am missing the chilling :-) Hopefully next time Have a good weekend and please don't burn my chess set - or the board James
