If you are planning on taking your time, with setting up camp, getting a brew on and fishing etc., I would probably allow for 5 days. I did the sandstone trail two years ago, and while 'relatively' fit, the three days were quite tough, some days will be shorter and some longer depending on...

:35:I am considering something very similar, if I were you I would read Off-Grid by Nick Rosen (no connection or commercial interest etc). His web-site also has some useful info, and communities that want people etc etc. The book is really good and covers aspects of the law associated with...

Is this normal habitat for honey bees then? No swarm either, that I noticed anyway?

Pictures as requested:- The Tree The nest location within the tree A bit closer Another one (they would not stand still when I asked them!) Any clues would be gratefully appreciated.

Excellent tutorial all, thanks for the help.

Welcome back, good to hear that despite many kicks, you carried on 'out and about', it keeps me sane too!
