With some nice spars and some big bits of sisal rope we could make a balista in the naughty corner. Then the rest of the campsite may be in fear...

The howling and screaming always scares them anyway!

I don't know about sisal but we have a heck of a lot of Dyneema now!

A Balista! Oh yeah! Can I be the first to go for a ride on it?

Hang on a sec' .... Balista? That's a ruddy great catapult innit? ... Second thoughts I'll let John Fenna take the first go.

Hmm, remember to ask Neil Comley about the human trebuchet when he comes up the NC on Monday night!

As for the human ballista, the principle is the same as skimming stones, the winner is the one who bounces off the most trees! :red:------------------ :stretcher:
