Warning!! Pic heavy!

Thanks guys for another memorable weekend. I had great craic altogether, even though I missed the rugby. Just watched it actually, Ireland were brilliant. Anyways, it was nice to meet all the new guys and to see familiar faces too. I have quite a few photos here so I'm gonna post them up. YAY!

So here goes:

John had the most amazing fire. It was about the size of a dinner plate and kept going the whole day and most of the night without changing size at all. So I had to take a phot or two.

I straightened "Old Wonky" out. Think I did well considering I had to overcome the effects of the wine.

This is the amount of birch sap I collected overnight. Didn't taste amazing but would be very refreshing if stuck for water.

This is the wild garlic we used in our din-dins. Fantastically flavoursome. I was very impressed.

When I got home I did a quick bit of filing and this is how "Wonky" looks now.
