Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Sorted it out and went to launch.
Someone reversed a boat into it and poked some holes in it with his propellor.
We fixed it there and then with p40.
We pushed it in, but hadnt noticed the bung had fell out the back.
It sank and a speed boats wash picked it up and slammed it on the concrete slipway.
Time to go home and fix the bottom again.
Maybe next time.....

Obviously, having read a book, I was an expert sailor and obviously, our repairs were the best we had ever seen, as we hadnt ever seen one repaired before, let alone done one.
This was making me a little nervous.
I could see there was the potential for us to overlook a few details that might cause us some accidental drowning.
We took the boat back to the water, found some life jackets - just in case, and launched.
It stayed on top of the water.
I took that as a good sign.....

My kids have No Idea how other kids live, so they dont apreciate what they have. Typical kids lol.
Hi Bushwhacker
Minted? Lol I wish.
I live on a run down council estate. I am basically unemployed, most of my kit comes out of the council tip - inc the £3 windsurfers and the £7 canoes, the car is a £170 ebay special, which Ive nursed for years, the boat was £27 plus parts, most from boat jumbles and ebay.
Thank you Dwardo
I see now. Looks like your bow is somewhat better than my efforts too.
I bought one in the end. Not sure if I have any pics of it....
Anyhow.....Hammocks.

Managed to squeeze in a couple of nights a week.
Its nice here. No midges.
This sort of keeps the kids quiet
The cafe shut early, so we didnt stay another night.
My kids were hungry and offered to make pizzas for tea.
Cheese, ham, pineapple and winegum pizza.
My little one decided he wanted Sugar, honey, peanut butter, chocolate spread and winegums on his.
I think we should have gone to McDonalds.
We went and spent the next night in a nature reserve.
Couldnt catch any fish as my little one was splashing around in front of me yelling "here fishy fishy".
I love this place.

My little one decided to try his hand at fishing.
He didnt see the need for line, hook, bait etc.....
What you do id fing a heavy branch and throw it off the pier.
Then you throw yourself in after it to see what it hit.
He didnt catch anything, but we got warned for hammocking here
Mutter, Mutter........

The dog went off.
It was 5am.....
Didnt have any bricks at hand to throw at it.
Stupid dog.
I watched the sun come up.
My kids slept through it.
Felt like screaching at them to get my own back for all the times they had woken me up.
I must remember not to sneeze when taking pics.
I love this place
It had rained during the night.
I could reach out and let it rain on my fingertips without getting wet or cold.
Oh, and have views like this from my bed.

I was lying there just loving it.
Somehow, my little one waking up and offering me nice soggy pringles.....
"Daaad! Why havent I got any pringles left?"
If you dont shut up and leave me in peace.......
I love the forests
The jury is still out on the kids, though

He is throwing a rope over a branch in the tree.
He is trying to work out how to get a block and tackle to work.
He is seeing if its good enoug to drag his brother up the tree.
Now he is trying to pull him up with the bike.
Was wondering what he wanted to do that for.
Turns out he decided we should try sleeping in our hammocks in the top of the tree.
He wanted to know if the pair of them could drag my bulk up there.
Horrible sods.
