I should stop coming on here. I keep seeing posts and wanting to buy new kit, finding myself saying 'ooh nice blade. I need one of those.'

What a brill 2 days. As I left tonight someone else turned up 
Made a spoon for my granddaughter yesterday and she came with me today. She's 10and did some building using willow bark as cordage and then started construction of a shelter. No support asked for or needed.
Pics to follow.
Several good meets coming up.
Hopefully next Saturday will be the Animal Tracks and signs or may nip to Peterborough to go on the camp cooking and Free herbal walk and medicine making workshop in Grimeshaw Woods (This one is the camp cooking link)

I donated a new fire rack
You can't see me roight (Colin)
Nice with chips?
10-11lb Mirror Carp
Paige trying out new skills (Don't know where she learnt them including tying with willow bark?)
Start of her shelter
The spoon I made her
and the willow weaving we did
Not enough trees
St. Georges mushrooms not 15' from the campfire
Didn't see the red ants nest in this rotten log until it was on the fire
Paige's favourite pastime (she did share them) was using my homemade Granddad's toasting fork
All gone....both packets...?

Looking at having a look around the Upwell Rd site later in the week as someone smelled smoke in there Saturday night
That should be interesting to see. Hopefully if they have been in there playing, they had the courtesy of cleaning up after themselves.
Would be interested in having a look myself from a tracks and signs point of view. I find it fascinating to come across a campsite and put the pieces together of what they have been doing and where they have come from.
Next meetup down the lakes is next bank holiday.
