Delamere July 07 Picture Thread

[Matt Weir]

Hi all,

Unfortunately most of my photo's were rubbish so I've selected the few that were just about viewable - sorrry.

Of course this thread is open for everyone who has any pics to post them.

Here we go then...

Buster suckers Wayland into some attention...

Goose, corr and the ThingsWeLike clan with the communal fire in the background...

Shaun's lad says 'Is it my turn yet Dad?'...

Corr, Fishaben and Goose discuss the finer points of jetty lurking...

My lads and shauns lass in the canoe...

Lodian sets out...

Alex (ThingsWeLike) the natural...

Don't be shocked, but here are Nat and Xylaria chatting!

Shauns superb firebox in action...

The kids around the campfire...

I am thinking of fitting a cup holder to a canoe, it is difficult to paddle with a cup in one hand and a ciggy in the other!

Who can guess which photo is wayland?

I put titles on the pics within photobucket but they haven't come through on the thread. If I get time I will add them here.

Sorrry John,

I did get a shot of your set-up with you sat down but it looked like my camera had been dipped in vaseline mate

EDIT: pictures now updated with descriptions, if I have made any mistakes with names etc please let me know.

Nice photos Matt - I'll stick mine on here too. Maybe some of you can help fill in the blanks of who's who as I'm rubbish with names, let alone usernames!
Thanks again to Goose and eveyone who helped me with my first hammock pitch. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Some really good pics here, just one thing: What are the kids cooking on that fire?! Looks like a fleece!

 

[Matt Weir]

My youngest had finished junior school that week and we brought his jumpers and burned them as a kind of rites of passage/out with the old thing.

Graham suggested we make some charcloth but they were a nasty poly mix.

I love that last shot there Alex BTW.

 

[spamel]

Ahh, all makes sense now!
