Brumstar123 and I headed down to Cornwall on thursday night to make the most of the bank holiday. Our camp on a damp first morning.

Brum's setup

fire prep in the wet

on our second day we headed down to st Ives for a spot of fishing and pasties!!

we were visited by some of the locals, a cormorant, an oyster catcher and a couple of seals.

Brum and I just about to head off back to camp.

breakfast was hand made bread twists with cheese and streaky bacon

ham joint being finished on the spit with honey and mustard glaze after an hour in the pot

our last morning in camp

we had a great weekend, carved some spoons and drank too much, can't wait for the next trip.

Say man that looks really good.

Where abouts?

And how? Your own land or permission?

My idea of fun. Lovely site you've got there.

No fishies then? Never mind, that ham looks good.

No fish I'm afraid but still good fun, we were fishing off the head at st ives by RNLI station. The camp was in st Austell, it's some woodland next to a farm that a mate of ours put us in contact with the land owner. Brum and I are going to organise a meet there soon.

Wow, looks like a good weekend away. I really like the tarp hammock set up, I have been thinking of getting myself a set up similar. Do you just sleep in there with a sleeping bag? I know you are off the ground but do you use any sort of roll matt to protect your underside from getting chilly?

Lovely pics.

The oystercatcher is a Turnstone though.

I don't know if you can see in the pictures of my setup but I have an Underquilt, lovely and warm! I don't even get in my bag I just use it as a top quilt. Brum has a thermarest he sleeps on top of inside his bag.

I'm blaming Brum for that misidentified bird!! birds are not my strong point, and clearly not his by the sound of things lol.
