Kev Would love to get out one weekend but I'm so crashed with work (new job) and a 6 week old daughter I'm struggling to stay awake at the weekends. Had a loooong time out from bushy stuff changed jobs and got weekends back again but that didn't last long doh!!
Don't write me off though I will make it one day/ weekend.

Copy and add your names and paste as a new post as usual please

Skolding Woods - TL 42720 95770 on where's the path Its just town side of Upwell Park Residential Home PE15 0DR - Behind the old disused house with the Harris metal fencing blocking the gates. If you go past the home there is a byway (Green lane) on the right that goes around the back of the woods but it has some deep ruts so be warned
There will be no water or facilities or anything there so all carry in and out please
We are still on trial and there is a lot of wildlife there (including the overnight sleep place for a herd of local Roe Deer) so no dogs, guns or bows please.

I shall be taking about 15 gallons of communal water and we shall have a group fire using the dead standing wood.
I reckon it should be take your own food though.

Any other stuff you need to know?

Oh BTW it is always at your own risk as I am not taking Public Liability Insurance out



Other meets provisionally booked are

20th to 22nd Sept (BMF Peterborough 13th to 15th)

[Damascus]

Ha, them photo's are getting everywhere, now don't infringe on the copy rights or the bushcraft police will be over there and that means, trouble!!!!!!

 

[Whittler Kev]

Yanks are looking at them as well he he

 

[Damascus]

This could go global, as long as we get a decent return between us I'm ok with it!!

 

[Whittler Kev]

Goona have a day at Skoldings Wood Tuesday if anyone's about

 

[Whittler Kev]

Thought I'd take today out as it was nice and I'm on holiday

Simple set up. Just the netamock and a Kelly





All in here as I took all the superfluous crud out




My embers were coming out of the Kelly kettle base so I made some tongs with a ranger band and a bit of lashing to hold the pivot in place




Gonna try the new homemade hammock (altered with new hanging ropes since the orange ratchet strap snapped and hit one of the Suffolkers in the B***s when he tried it after me ) on Thursday as going out again

 

[Whittler Kev]

Strange....Just had the police call as someone took a picture of my disabled badge in my car near the woods yesterday as they were concerned that the car had been there 3 days (I went to the woods Tuesday and Yesterday, Thursday). They were checking as they feared as I am disabled I may have fell over somewhere and they were going to organise a search. See someone cares about me
Here's yesterdays vid
