Pigging dog.
Was just thinking about kicking her in here for flattening my er....
When she sauntered off and wouldnt come back.
Chased the dog for about 10 mins before I fell in a ditch.
She came back to laugh at me as I was covered in mud and inventing new swearwords.

Found this place while I was yelling at the dog.
Id spent half the night shivering with the dog in its fur coat in another hammock, when this thing was nice and warm, less than 200 yards away.
I was struggling to invent many new words as I had used most I could think of on the dog.
Charcoal manufacture?
While I was taking this shot, an elderly couple wandered by with a small sheltie.
My dog has a sense of humour.
It went in the middle of the track right in front of them.
I was seriously considering murder.
"$£)*£"$£*& dog.

Headed back to our camp to have a good shout at the kids.
While I was gone, they had got up, packed up their kit and then packed mine up too.
I do wish they wouldnt do that when I am looking for someone to screach at.
Had to put up with a big breakfast at the Greasy Spoon, instead.

We sort of went back to basics....
Well, my idea of basics.....
This is a polythene tarp, so its wind and waterproof.
I dont want polythene as it doesnt breathe, which I think would make it get wet, but for today....
Modelled by Little Idea.
And here we have another we made earlier......
Only we have wrapped it with fine netting.
And Little Idea nicked it before I got to try it.
Think we need to work on the attachments a bit.
He wont give it back

I growled at him and the dog growled at me.
She has climbed up into the other hammock.
Im left without one.
Pigging dog.
Pigging kid.
Still, it sort of looks interesting.

They got out in a hurry when I told them they could stay there as I was going to Pizza Hut to raid their ice cream thing.
He packed them both up and beat me back to the car.
I think its time to really test this sort of hammock........

Had a problem with the boat.
Usually when we sail it around,we sort of go in a straight line until we hit something.
A bit like pinball.
We have reached the stage where we can tell the difference between hitting buoys and boats by the boinnnnng noises it makes.
However, I had another problem.
We accidentally missed this beach in the harbour we were aiming at and ended up in the channel.
We sort of did a right and ended up heading towards this beach.
There were dozens of people on it.
As we got there, I hopped up on the side of the boat and stepped into the waves to put out the anchor.
Trouble was the water was still 8 or 9 ft deep.
My little one had to rescue me.
They told everyone they saw for the next week about the water coming out of my blowhole.
Dont ask.
Anyhow.....
I decided to measure how far the centre thing sticks out the bottom so I know how deep the water is when I jump out in future.
Ended up hammocking here.
Was too dark for hammock pics though

We sort of got a bit lost.
I think this is roughtly where we went.
The tide went out.
There was this fridge that someone had left in our way......
THe boat didnt completely crack in half.
My kids are getting really good at fibreglass.....
Seems I shouldnt have rubbed it down with an angle grinder either.
The holes in the bottom that let the water in if you dont go fast enough both cracked out too.
He is mixing P40
Filling it.....
All fixed.
Er.....
Seems like they have decided its my fault we have no paddle in the boat and no wind.
It was terrible having to hammock here.

Ive got a tarp hammock with wadding and another tarp on the outside, then netting and a tarp over the top.
It started snowing, so I thought I aught to have a go see if it would keep me warm....
I slept in it in jeans and T shirt.
Oh, I also got soaked setting it up and getting in it.
The snow had knocked down my gazeebo.
Once I warmed up, which took a few minutes, I slept well all night.
Had a small problem with condensation from my breathing, but other than that,
A really nice warm nights sleep.
Untill I got frozen feet getting out in the morning.

I've seen you mention a few times its starting to get cold. If you have any old sleeping bags you can make a pretty decent underquilt for your hammock. I tried it out, just strung up the bag underneath you and used ducttape instead of stitching new loops, and then from there just used spare cord to tie it up to each end and hold it up against the hammock. Good fun experimenting with it too.
Ok! i just sat for 30min reading/looking at the pics of this thread from start to now. Its epic 
i laughed a few times to myself, got slightly jelouse of the amount of times ya have been out hammocking too. keep up the awesome work. I wonder what it would be like if you n your boys came to a bcuk or any moot, could call it ( I like mooting )
Cheers

Hello Highbinder
I know it might sound strange, but a sleeping bag underblanket never occurred to me.
I probably would have dissmissed the idea if it had, as my bergen is full and I cant get anything else in it.
Would have been a good experiment though.
