helping at event in Holyrood Park

[JohnC]

Joe and I were up at Holyrood park helping at a small event there, the rangers at the station there do a guided walk round the park and there are a couple of people, in iron age togs they "come across". There was hunter over one side and we were doing fire lighting tucked away on the hillside. Great spot and quite odd having permission to light fires in the park!!





The view from the site,



Joe..



Making bannock like drop scones (using the bushmoot recipe and some blackberries from nearby)




Joe again at the site, we had flint and steel, bow drill (successful embers for once in the sun!) Good day and feedback from the guys at the station and the visitors.

Looks like a nice spot.
Lovely views.
Love the fire bowl idea, and all your kit looks great, very traditional and authentic !
Not one plastic item.

The bannock looks delicious too...
Brilliant

Sounds like a nice day out. May I ask, what that is that you are cooking the bannock on?

Hello, it was a great day, the firebowls the bottom of an old gas canister with a handle attached, we surrounded it with rocks to hide the legs, the rangers were keen to keep the look non-modern..
I had an old broken griddle that I reshaped to make a sort of oval plate..
