Another west country wander!

[Neil1]

And you all missed it!
Last weekend a few of us down here got together for a winter bivvy. We had a great weekend, a little nippy at times, but this only served to make it a better experience.
I've put the pics up in my gallery, go and have a look

Dammit i allwasys seem to come back to hear ive just missed something.

Just to be sure, there arent any other moots coming up that im missing are there?

Maverix, the next time we are out and about I'll drop you a PM to let you know the details, even if it's a walk for a day

 

[maverix]

would be appreciated

 

[Neil1]

Ditto that Mav, and quite often I'm about midweek too.
I think if everyone down this way just put a post up everytime we go out, to let others know, we would soon have a very big skills sharing base.

I saw Leon with an axe!!

Must have been great guys by the look of those pictures!
Didn't do some tracking by any chance, did you?

Neil, love that jerkin you made! Very fashionable and I can see you've got some experience in modelling too

 

[Neil1]

Correct my friend, my modelling days are long gone now - but I I have fond memories of Kate Moss & I on the catwalk wearing the Airfix autumn collection!
There were some good activities, baking, tracking, firecraft, fire with a flint and steel and charcloth (well done Carl!), it was a very cool weekend.

Was a great weekend, ta very much Neil, that camera of yours isn't bad either.

 

[Topcat02]

Looked like great fun, interested in knowing whether that is a huge bannock, or bread, did you cook it lid down in the fire?

 

[leon-1]

Hi mate Neil is the one that makes the bread, but basically it's a pan inside a pan with the embers stacked around it. The inner pan Neil normally has something in there to support so that it doesn't touch the bottom and burn on.

 

[Neil1]

Actually on that one I just used my usual pan with a layer of flower under the damper to stop it from sticking.
On a different note how many from the west country are going to the BCUK spring moot? Is it worth hiring a minibus for the occasion? and all travelling up as one?
Neil

 

[tomtom]

when is the spring moot?

 

[Topcat02]

No wonder I get confused with you two, you use the same avatar. Oh yeah where is, and when is the spring moot?

TC

 

[leon-1]

Sorry to confuse you TC, that may be because Neil1 designed it and I made it happen on the PC and possibly because we are brothers.

Not sure about the spring moot, to be honest I didn't know that Tone was having one, I'll ask and let you know, but I think it is more likely that Neil was thinking of the summer moot despite having typed spring (we had been talking about things to do in spring earlier).

 

[Neil1]

I meant the full members meet at the end of march in Glous

As clear as mud, er I mean crystal.

 

[AlexRowan]

Where was it you guys went? I'm in somerset and although we are surrounded by an amazing countryside, I'm really bereft of decent places to go??

 

[leon-1]

Alex most of our wandering is done around the Dartmoor area
