A few different dinners in the woods

The Green stick barbaque we cooked steak >The tripod and pot we had Lamb stew and we also spit roast a leg of Row deer I think

 

[Greg]

Very nice- He says with a drooling mouth ...Is that bannock I can see there too?

 

[john scrivy]

Know we didnt do banock on those trips but have done so in the past you might just notice the veggie kebabs in the barbaque pic they turned out good

 

[Greg]

No, on closer inspection it is the hollow log by the fire, it has cause an optical illusion which makes the hollow centre look like a loaf of bannock..
Or am I just going LALA!!

 

[john scrivy]

That hollow log beleave it or not is in fact a n old woodpeckers nest there is a entry hole not shown on the side this has also doubled up as a wind break for a candle

Very tastey looking. I have cooked muntjac haunches on BBQs but we usually bone them and butterfly them out........just to be sure.

 

[john scrivy]

just to be sure of what kae1 you have me intreeged

 

[KAE1]

Venison is very safe, like beef but from a social bbq perspective I just like to ensure everything is cooked through, by boneing and butterflying, even if I am very well oiled I know I am not going to make anyone ill

That looks tasty I must really start taking some meat camping i see all these pictures and it makes my rat packs and tin food however tasty pretty boring, I think the order of food next outing is a crate of beer and half a cow!

 

[RobertRogers]

Now I gotta get something to eat...be right back!

 

[weekender]

Apart from feeling very hungry right now, im liking that tripod in the last picture very effective:notworthy

 

[commandocal]

John is that a heart on the last picture? :O If i may ask is this is a proper campsite or just woodland and are you with friends? I ask purley because looks a great time and would be even better if it was with your mates - i think im going to see if the lads want to do something like this
