    Austism spectrum

    I have for many years thought that I am wired differently to most people, quite possibly relatively high on the spectrum. Personally I have always embraced those differences and made them work for me. That does not mean that I don't find certain situations stressful but it does mean I try to...

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    Sadly, we have limited space to set up in. I think we could only fit one, or possibly two, more tents in.

    BcUK Photograph of 2021 Bushmoot (Winter or Summer) Heat

    It was a couple of seconds from memory. No flash, all natural light but the camera was triggered by remote.

    I can't be sure but it looks like the Bushmoot heat is on a separate schedule to the monthly heats. Here's my entry though.

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    Both of mine work but one did require a bit of fettling. New wick and flint mainly.

    What did you buy today?

    Treated myself to a folding Solar Panel to keep the batteries topped up off grid.

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    The only time I recall being anything close to "Gruff" with you at the Gathering was the time you walked right into the midst of a conversation and tried to interrupt it. Rather bad manners in my book. As for the food, we invite the guests we choose to share dinner with, we do not expect them...

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    What you really need is a team of native bearers and a good gang master. In the absence of those a small van seems to suffice.

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    Set up was about three hours to all under canvas and a couple of hours tinkering after that. Strike took about four hours because we were tired by then. It's certainly something you want to do when you have a few days to enjoy it.

    Good camping, good food and good company, what more do you need.

    The Steam Tent Co-operative at the Wilderness Gathering

    As a group, we are very fortunate in our friends. Because so many of us have moved around in the different circles of outdoor life like Bushcraft and Re-enactment for so many years we have developed a good reputation that sometimes precedes us and leads to opportunities that might not...

    Anyone going to the Wilderness Gathering.

    The food was outstanding that is for sure. You could tell by the number of people circling like vultures around serving time. Dinner reservations at the Steam Tent Co-operative turned out to be hot tickets for our chosen guests.

    Anyone going to the Wilderness Gathering.

    It was good meeting up with so many old faces that I hadn't seen for so long. New ones as well. I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

    The floor seems a lot further away than it used to be too. At least it seems to be a lot more of a climb getting up from it.

    I kind of "Recognise" a lot of member by thier avatars, confuses the life out of me when they change. The only change I've made to mine is the beard has turned grey over time.
