I could probably organise Kev. Is that for skolding woods.

 

[Whittler Kev]

Why not. I've just no energy or strength at the mo. Supposed to go back to work again Monday....No chance

 

[Whittler Kev]

Ok. Anyone fancy a trip to March Tomorrow? I'll be down the bottom end again at Skolding Woods. If you want to stop over the night you can

 

[Whittler Kev]

Nice to see Will yesterday (left him there in the end until about 8pm as I started to suffer again. Laid on the bed shortly after I got home until gone 10am this morning). If anyone else fancies a stop over as long as I tell the owner it's no problem

Got a bit overgrown



although someone had been in and took the door off of one of the barrels and squashed the grill one. Made a little hideaway (which we used) by hacking branches off of some field maples and rearranging the bricks in a classic cowboy fire surround (couldn't work out how to use the barrels?). Left loads of Birch curls, etc we used for our fire, after straightening the barrels. The one with the door missing wasn't so good as it roared to much and used to much wood with very little ember bed or ash left



left a nice bar to lean on and hang our coats on ( good for a lean to shelter as well



Good news is the oak I found ringed,


isn't dead


and the canopies filled in (might control the 5' stingers we had to go through



another day soon. Remember if you want to go down text me so I can clear it with the owner if I'm still unable to go

Hey, sorry if this is the wrong place, just thought I'd say hello to the Cambridgeshire lot, I hope to be going to university there in October, and I'd love to find out more about the locale,

Cheers, Lewis

Hi Lewis welcome to Cambridge there are some great places to visit in and around the town. We (the royal we) don't have many permissions but some of the guys have access to some nice little places


Sent from somewhere?

 

[Whittler Kev]

A quick recap where we have permission now

The four named we can already use for a day out as we are Cambridgeshire Bushcrafters (head blokes know me (Kev)) so we can get off the main trails

Woohoo account active again so I can post stuff. I reckon you should send your last vid to CH4 as an educational vid

 

[Leigh Robinson]

Cheers Kev. I would love it if they aired it.

Yo dude.
I've got access to about 5 acres of private woodland and Leighs got about 20. We go pretty ad hoc as I've not been too well lately.
Leigh generally is out al least once a month

 

[Whittler Kev]

I was just west of 1 yesterday
