We got in the night before so we could set up camp and get things tidy.
Tipi up. Took minutes this time.
I also got a chance to collect the trail cam which had sat there for two weeks.

Saturday I wanted to try bow drill as I have never got round to it. Kev put me on the right tracks. I must say that you can read how to do it, you can watch how to do it on Youtube, but there is nothing like proper first hand instruction. That's what group meets are about.
Fomes Fomentarius - Horses Hoof fungus. Nicely smouldering away.
Here is one Kev taught earlier. More skills learned at the bush meet.
Great fun, great company, great weekend! Would like to have taken more pics but far too busy! Look forward to the next outing.

Last pic is a moment you'll never forget 
.....the first time you got a flame from an ember
