I spoke to folks in the scout group this last weekend, and they don't have a problem with me missing the camp.
So I can make it to the Dartmoor thing after all!

Yeah, can't wait for the next one, where-ever it may be.
Really got the bug.
Speaking of which... found three ticks on my arms when I got home. one big bugger and 2 tiny ones. All of them managed to miss any blood vessels completely and sank there teeth into the fleshy/fatty bit...

Lithril and Womble took a number of pics.
Doubtless they'll appear soon.
You missed a fantastic weekend.
We're already talking about planning another trip...

Glad we all had fun. I want to especially say a big thank you to Tom :super: who lives on Dartmoor and took the trouble to spend the day with us and show us some top spots. The swim was excellent and very refreshing (bloody Cold) A certain cure for a hangover. It was nice to meet you all and my lad James enjoyed it to.
Womble and Lithril try and get some Piccies posted if you can...Thanks
Cheers

I haven't anywhere to post them so they can be linked to here (although that may change soon), I should be able to send off a zipped file of some of the choice shots - as soon as I download them from my camera!
Falling: I've had a look for a copy of Gerrards Herbal on the net - there are some sites that quote extensivley from it; and Amazon have a copy available for sale - only 40-odd quid!
I second the thanks to Tom; I may have come over sounding a bit whingy at the time - for which I apologise - but I thoroughly (and I mean THOROUGHLY!) enjoyed Saturdays walk. It was nice for me to see that I was capable of doing more than I thought.

I'll second that second about Tom and heartily agree about being able to do more than I thought.
In January that walk would have killed me, being an unfit ashtmatic. Just goes to show what walking the station, rather than getting a bus, can do to start you back on the road to fitness. Me calves did ache Monday/Tuesday though...

send me as many of the pics as you can and I'll get them posted, I've got a few gooduns too that'll get up as soon as I get chance.
I need to say a big thank you to Tom as well.
For those who missed the weekend Tom is a top bloke, very knowledgeable and brings the beauty of dartmoor to life. It would be a pleasure to tramp the wilds again sometime.

Hi All,
Very enjoyable weekend. Good site, Good walks and Good company.
Yep, the water was definitely a shock to the system, but very refreshing.
look forward to doing it again, but without the ticks.
Wayne, did you get round to making the fire bow set?

A fine body of men if ever I saw one. !! I think (looking at the state of some of those bodies) it's fair to say we havn't exactly been surviving on Ground up worms recently have we !! ? 
Fantastic stuff guys, that's what it's about. An inspiration to us all to get out together :biggthump
