Hello The K

Nice to see your first post!

Sorry I missed it earlier.

My audience in the tip was a foot long brown rat that used to stare at me for hours - especially while I was in my sack.

I was sort of terrified of it, but more terrified that Mum would make me stay home if she found out he was there. I named him Mr Deer so I wouldnt slip up.

Sorry Mojo Racing Uk

Luckily I didnt catch the song too

Hi Tengu

Nope. Stig of the dump had no hammock. He had a cool bottle wall that I tried for hours to copy, but it kept falling over.

The kid who "told" the story said Stig would walk straight through nettles in his tip and although the stings would show, he didnt flinch.

I wasnt that cool. They used to hurt me like hell

The kids saw Ray Mears using a shop bought looking hammock that he was using in the jungle on tv.

They wanted to know if his was nicer than ours.

I thought it would have to be.

I wanted a propper one !

Was looking in a camping shop and found string hammocks!

Got us one each there and then!

Mine lasted for a couple of hours before I broke a thread and it dumped me on my head.

The kids thought that was hillarious.

I ended up listening to them telling everyone I was Mr Bump for days.

Well, until I fell off my bike and gave them something else to laugh at.

Seems you shouldnt try riding a mountain bike in a metal half pipe.

Not admitting it was raining too.

Decided that the propper one was very draughty and not strong enough.

Kids thought I should go on a diet.

Time to go again.

Ended up walking up here with the kids.

Took ages.

By the time I got to the top, I was exhausted

Didnt slow them down much.

I was terrified they might fall off the edge.

Made it !

just red crosses...help !!

There wasnt any wind in Dorset, but I was pretty sure we would find some up here.

It sort of bothered me the way they kept running towards the edge to sort the kite out when it crashed.

It was also cold.

Couldnt find any trees for my hammock though.

We found some woods later and stayed a while

I had a nice new hammock, but the dog still had her old one.

She had sorted out how to get in it on her knees so her claws didnt get caught.

Surprisingly, she didnt fall out - even when she had her sleeping bag in it.

There was me happily reading shorthand, like you do in the middle of the forest.

Suddenly the dog went off.

Her sudden barking made me jump and I fell out.

Would have been ok if the kids hadnt left a bike under my hammock.

Seems like the kids had startled a deer, which ran past us.

The dog decided to bark at it.

I nearly needed an ambulance.

The dog didnt get out to chase it, she was too happy sitting there laughing at me.

Pigging dog.

Pigging kids

Pigging deer.
