A big thanks to DD Hammocks ... Happy Hammocking pic's

[onfire]

My college students have really got into the hammocking lark thanks to the support of Nick and his team at DD Hammocks who set up a tremendous group buy for us. In preparation for a 2 night 'expedition' the students spent a day rigging hammocks in unusual places. It was pretty good fun, so here are the pictures for your entertainment and as a thank you to Nick at DD Hammocks:

The results -

Triple woodland stream:


Canal bridge:

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but how the frig did they get in the hammock over the canal

Thats what I was thinking

I want to keep you guessing but will keep the thread on track with a prompt reply ;-)

It involved a buoyancy aid, climbing helmet and harness ... the student was then belayed as he climbed through the parapet and down into the hammock before removing all the obvious aids (the BA is still on him though, as you can see). A lot of set-up but a cool picture for it!

Great stuff mate!

 

[Macaroon]

You've got to work hard to make this stuff fun and hold their attention at college age; they all look happy and involved so you must be doing something right.................Good stuff

Nice one... Good to see them having some fun

Very good - all your students' ideas? or did you nudge them? Either way, looks fun.

 

[Joonsy]

i would love to see the face of anyone on a narrowboat approaching that canal bridge, the eyes must have popped out of their head.

Thanks all, in fairness it was mainly their ideas ... but there is always a little bit of nudging!
