Hey all,
I was led down the path of purchasing a hammock/net/tarp set up as i read one of the threads on this site.
thought i'd show you guys what i got up to on Thurdsay night as there was a nice woodland near buy with plenty of decaying old trees standing and falling.
first off it was getting a bit late when the camp was being set up and the mossie's were out in force so out came the fire kit and the fire was lit (the base of the Ghillie kettle was used to contain the fire) after the hammock was set i settled down just enjoying being out
after that, I retired back to the saftey of the hammock with it's mossie net....I felt safe comfy and swang free enjoying the view of tree silhouettes against the horizon.
In the morning a shot was taken showing the hammock set up
after wich the kettle and bacon went on
then the kettle came off and the bacon was tended to by the hawthorn spork/spatuknife
Bacon roll and spill proof cuppa tea in hand I strolled along towards the woods...it was a lovely Friday morning although the grasses and other plant life was neaarly head high
when i got to the woods it was a lovely suprise...the pathway went through the wood and a bridge/walk way had been put across a pond which was a nice touch from the council (or who ever looks after the path around here)
the wood itself was neglected (either on purpose or otherwise) as so many trees have fallen through decayed routes (IMO) and just lay there rotting.
I did come across these Fungi though both were on the same trunk, although on differeing sides
I belive it was a birch tree.
Any Idea what they are?
hope you enjoy my attempt at getting out and about.
Jim
P.S. the hammock was really good at keeping the mossies at bay although whilst walking in the woods....i was taken to pieces...need to carry insect repellant me thinks

it a few more times this year as It was fun and the set up was 'hot' (bag was left unzipped) so the temp could drop at least to 5 degrees before i need to worry
