Quite a busy time this weekend. No real bushcraft but what the hey!
Friday evening, arrived home from work ready for the weekend. Package from Axminster waiting for me containing a hook/crook knife. Not really had a chance to play yet but it looks very good - better than my modified grapefruit knife anyway. After tea Elaine Michael and I went off to do a couple of local geocaches. Very pleasnt.
Saturday. Off to Thetford area and maybe beyond to do some more geocaching. Family picnic packed into Discovery. Cacheing gear in a respirator bag (plus matches, firesteel, etc).
First cache, at a memorial to the Dessert Rats, done by about midday so a quick look thru the sheets we had with us reveals a cache in the woods at Holkham Hall, near Wells, so of we go. I think we got the very last parking place at Wells and set off to do the cache, which took about 45 mins. The rest of the day was on the beach and in the sea. A pub meal at the Ark Royal in Wells rounded the day off. The weather was glorious all day.
Sunday started wet and overcast, so I spent most of the day sorting my spare room out to turn it into an office, now that I'm going to set up as a self employed design consultant. Finished off with a couple of beers watching some film on Scatterlite tv.
Monday back to work for a bit more of my notice period!
