Sorry about the tarp letting a fin mist through, as for a good canvas tarp, well that just might break the bank.

Love the ripstop one as only 20cmx25cm stuff sack. Dry so just spayed it with proofer

May nip down Upwell Road Wednesday

Lovely day today. Had a smudge fire to keep the flies away.
:thinkerg: Need a digger at some point to fill in a bit of the top dyke (main road and home end) to make an easy access for all through the field near the house

Just registered March Bushcraft Club on www.Cambridgeshire.net may get a bit of interest

Just had a thought....:thinkerg: ....I wonder if the fencing (Arras) they put round building sites would be strong enough make a bridge for the quad and walking over if it's laid across the dyke? It has thick outer bars and a fairly thick mesh covering

 

[rickyamos]

No mate I don't think it would be strong enough

+1 to what Ricky said that stuff fall apart in high winds if it falls over. Also you might want to be careful about filling in ditches as I'm sure the council or landowner has a duty to keep them open to stop areas flooding. Just a thought???
You could pop down March yard and see if they have some old sleepers or bridge beams or a couple of old telegraph poles???

[Whittler Kev]

Sleepers would be good. Not seen bridge beams but if they are what I think they are...yeay. Telegraph poles would be good as well
If I was going to fill a bit in I'd pipe it first to ensure drainage.............probably
I was thinking of welding another couple of supports on the Arras

There made of cheap thin metal mate.

easiest way is to dig the dyke edge back to make a ramp down both sides. It's 3' one side and 1' the other. Bank top to bank top is 12'

Hi Kev

I live near March, always wanted to see something going on nearby!

 

[Whittler Kev]

Going to Upwell Rd probably tomorrow

 

[Leigh Robinson]

Up to 20mph winds tomorrow. Might want to watch out for widow makers in the woods

 

[Whittler Kev]

Lot dropping today and good swaying. Tried to get an ember with the magnifying glass again but only got a few wisps of smoke as the sun either went in or was obscured by waving branches.
New ramp going in tomorrow hopefully.
Cutting the road in today and QuizzicalHaddock turned up. Nice to meet you dude

 

[Whittler Kev]

Dyke ramp cut out. Just need to drop off the bridge and all systems go

 

[Whittler Kev]

Any interest in a meet weekend of 8th Aug at Upwell Rd?
