you should see Graham_S in his Shepherd's cloakNow that's a scary sight to meet in a woodland, he's a big fellow, Graham
I may bring it to the Moot this year...
It's a cosy jacket for sitting around the fire
Well I'll be packing up tomorrow morning. Hopefully after seeing someone about a building problem I have first. Then food shopping (sorry beer I meant assuming its ok to have a drink or few on these things )
Got to leave on the sunday as off for a week in the hills of western highlands. Hope the weather gets better.

Still not left for Comrie. just called them and it seems they are stuffed full of people. I said I was hoping to join the Bushcraft group and they said that IF I was willing to pitch up next to them and IF I brought something small then I could get in.
So I guess my nice "big" 2 man 3 pole tunnel tent I use when camping from near a car is out and my tarp and bivvy is in. Still good practise for next week in Knoydart wilderness.
I do hope the people from here up there won't mind a non-snoring lanky git pitching up close to them!! Talk about being organised, first time going to a meet and I nearly don't get in. nothing like arranging things last minute. Well I am off now to pack the car, get some shopping and try to get up to Comrie before nightfall!! I won't be taking bets that I'll be kipping in my car in a layby, think that's odds on.
Have a good weekind everyonem, whatever you get up to.

Great big thanks to all who made it to Comrie this weekend. It was great to get away from it all for a couple of days.
I had a great time and it was nice to meet a few new faces and see old friends.
Hands are sore from that bloody bowl though!
All the best

Bowl, what bowl?, i thought you were carving a swimming pool, that piece of wood was that big andy
Once again as Andy said, good meeting the usual crazies, i sometimes hope that as the years pass by they might calm down, but alas its not to be, one word sum you guys up, MENTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also nice to meet a few new guys, a big thanks to Paul B for making the effort to come all the way to Comrie when he had so far to go onto, Knoydart.
Big thanks also to Mary for making the effort to save my knees and bringing me a few (well about 2,000 really) ultralight storage containers for my lightweight hikes.
I'm sure everyone would also like to pass on their thanks to George at Comriecroft for all his hard work in making Comrie croft one of the best campsites in the country and also one of the most welcoming and friendly places i have pitched my tent at. Good luck George on your forth coming trip for 3 months to the Yukon.
Thanks too to Andy (everythingmac) for constantly bringing all the heavy forging equipment to all the meets for the past few years and congratulations on passing your exams mate, well done...

You're just teasing me with those pics Jason, I'm definately NOT missing the next meet, which needs to happen soon.
Looks like you guys had fun though and saw a few air guitar shots, are your knees bruised without your drum Tam?

Your right Scotty, you saw a lot of air guitar going on, you even missed our Tams rendition of AC/DC with his clothes thrown to the 4 winds, sobered me up quickly that did, but it was really funny if im being honest mate. Only thing missing was the Jaegermeister, although Ally did bring his 160% proof absinthe, not good let me tell you, although like all the other trips it was completely finished by the end of the weekend. A good laugh a usual. Im sure we will catch up at the next meet.
Sounds like a quality weekend Jason sent me a pic of Tam doing his 'rendition' so I got a wee chuckle at that.
Whens the next meet???

Aye, it was good to meet friends old and new. Shame about the weather though. Cameron enjoyed himself.
Trying to put a parachute up in a howling wind is fun (not).
We'll be back for the next one.

Aye Richie was cracking on the pipes eh!
It was great to meet some new faces!
I don't think anyone will forget Tam and Ally "dancing". lol.
George liked the wee knife I made up for him. Hopefully it will serve him well.
Jason - you're not wrong mate - it could quite easily be a swimming pool by the the time I finish it!
