Part 4 , Nova and Pinky ( whitey now !) who had a nightmare journey , and were fully expecting glorious weather as i normally order , sorry , Nova your scones were lovely ask Badger . and thanks for the help along with Foxy with group breakfasts, I think because there were no high wire , assault course building activities going on Pinky treated Sat like a scene from Into The Wild, dont blame him !

On the plus side, we took the motorway home and managed to get back in a record-breaking 4 hours this time (as opposed to the 6 and a half it took us to get there!) :D
Pinky, who never usually stays in bed for long, thoroughly enjoyed the time out on Saturday, and I'm busy finishing up my Dartmoor II teaspoon - making more of a mess in the computer room!
Next time he wants to do much more in the way of swing building, and I want to do better in terms of not being eaten alive by midges! - I've come home with 11 bites over my face and right wrist...

Big thanks to Adam for keeping Ivan company on the lead up to the meet and generally being a great bloke, to Andy for his class and general helpfullness all round and to Nova for the 8 scones i ate....

Ahh, so that's where they all went! I think between you, Katie and Andy, they didn't go as far as I thought! Next time will make double the amount :lol:
Means we'll need more clotted cream though!


Oh, and great pics there Adam! :)

You got better photos than me with that phone of your's. Great pics buddy.

Wish I could have made it this time Ivan but I just started a new job. Will be there soon. Glad to hear that everyone had a great time. And hello to everyone.

We missed you James. Ivan even said to the others, how much of a decent guy you were and it was a shame you couldn't get there.

Nice photos Adam, I have six kids and Katie is the youngest and the only one interested in what i do , you can't keep that girl away from any aspect of bushcraft/wild camping , and i am determined to hang on to that for as long as possible , before the demon teenage thing takes hold !! i consider myself very lucky , that she never moans about dirt/cold/rain/walking/carrying her backpack etc , how long will it last i wonder ? forever hopefully !

Ps the down side is if i buy a new bit of kit , it gets snaffled...
