One more thing ....

I'll bring a nasty B&Q cheapy axe with a convex edge which will make short work of splitting the logs.

[scrogger]

Thats me packed Off to water the allotment at 8pm then coming back via Tesco, if anyone want anything picking up let me know and ill grab it while im there. I need some pitta breads and chorizo or pepperami and cheese etc for lunch on Saturday.


Ill check back here after I have had my Tea.

Hello just back from beach well to say the vegetation has grown is a understatement,its chest height in parts, mostly ferns, YES there is a outside tap we can use at farm house,if you want to fill up there rather than at home, it was a fantastic evening but there is rain predicted for the weekend, typical not rained here for ages.there is some drift wood scattered about (some big train sleeper type pieces) didnt have a good look though.

Andy (Scrogger), I'm sure I can find my other 15L carrier should you want/need it.
As for fishing, after looking at the photo of the shoreline, I reckon we might have trouble getting a long enough cast for mackerel spinning? Bring some silver/bright spinners anyway.
Cheers (must start packing now)

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

Wow, didn't see page three of the thread. Nice piccies, Andy.

 

[andybysea]

Cheers, Shewie,Scrogger,peterlee-paddler,and stooboy, im going to put up a few pics in out and about if anyone wants to post any up, had a good time although it got rather hot Saturday.

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

Hi all.
Hot indeed it was! First ever Summer trip for me whereby I haven't packed some shorts and thin T-shirt. Trousers and microfibre fleece top made for a rather clammy outing, but what lovely weather in beautiful surroundings. Reminded me of my childhood spent along the N.E. England coast, albeit with higher cliffs.
Thanks for organising it Andy.

Cheers.

Cracking venue was lovely to sit round the fire and have a natter whilst watching little fishing boats out at sea and the stars slowly coming into view.

Sorry I had to call it short guys but once I got home im glad I did I think I would have been on edge all the time had I not gone with my gut instinct.

It was great to meet you all and will be looking forward to another trip of some kind in the near future.

Thanks for organising it Andy.

I still keep chuckling to myself about early Saturday morning!!

"my ******* coveralls were on that box!!"

Did you keep the scrap as a momento?

 

[andybysea]

Please stop reminding me of my coveralls, even though id known them but a short time id come to love them. I left the scrap there as a reminder.(All 2 inches of it).

 

[humblebumble]

[andybysea]

Andrew, im going out for a overnighter in August unfortunately its a week day thurs 13th till fri 14th(early on the 13th) feel free if you can make it.

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

I can join you Andy but only on a weekend. First weekend in August or any weekend after that (maybe not the English BH weekend, though) is doable for Pettico Wick for me, btw.

Cheers.
