bushcraft in shropshire ?

[wolfen_shrew]

You need a wild garlic, clover, cumfry and squirrel casserole with brown trout for desert.

Now you're talking! I assume this is a tried and tested recipe? ;-)

Yes, 10 was the agreed time. That's still fine for me. Looking forward to getting out in the woods for a night - looks like it's going to be a cold one.

I am something of a 'newbie' so please bear that in mind when I hopelessly fail to pitch my tarp and light a fire etc!!

Struggling a bit with work but I'm still planning to get there this weekend.

No way I can make it by 10am but I'll find you somehow, assuming I do get away. If I don't, apologies and have a good one!

 

[Zingmo]

Hope you fellas have a good time. Don't forget to take a load of pics for those of us who can't go out to play this weekend!

Sorry guys, looks like I'm not going to be able to make this one, still not too well.
Might be able to make it up there during the day at some point to meet you all though.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Mike.

Late seeing this

What and absolutely cracking place this is! There were just two of us this weekend and you all missed a real treat. Weather was great, no problems with insects and more downed timber than you could shake a stick at.

A BIG THANKYOU to Bob for letting us have use of his lovely wood.

There should be some photos in the camera, when I get a minute I'll post some.

 

[MJM1]

Really gutted to have missed this one.
When's the next one?

There's also wild garlic everywhere but I guess most of you've seen that before.

Its private, if theres any interest I will find another date in a few weeks time. Conditions should be warmer and dryer by then.

I was already in the queue but had to leave it to go to the toilet (about 200 times)

Ged, I can't seem to get to those photos. Is it working for everyone else?

Very sorry to hear about your illness. Better luck next time.

Yes I hope so, I am away for the weekend trying out a few new toys and will put up a few dates some time next week.
