I started reading that, then lost it. I think this place needs some sort of index on where to find useful stuff.
Pencil sized. brilliant.Ive also broke the windscreen wiper on the car when the car hit the bins, and I am curious if the metal strips out of it will hold up my pot. They are Stainless steel.

I liked it here too.
Nice and peaceful, till the wind picked up and it started throwing it down.
Still slept well though.
Little Idea ended up with soggy feet, so he turned round so they wouldnt get wet......
Perobably wasnt one of his smartest ideas.

Ended up staying a couple of days as it was such a nice place to be.
We moved each day so as not to make a mess and spent our time following deer tracks.
One jumped out and frightened the life out of my little one.
Mot sure what he thougth would happen when we found the source of the prints.

Was surprised to almost step out of deciduous woodland, into planted pine.
Decided to set up here.
Hadnt seen anywhere where all the bottom branches and quite a lot of the old dead pine needles were actually still on the trees.
Got mine up first.
Followed by Little Idea
Big Idea had problems.
He tied up one end of his hammock, then the other, while the first fell down, and the other, and the other....
If at first and second and third you dont succeed,
Climb a tree.

My kid got irritated with continuously patching up the damage where I crashed the big boat.
He got me to get him some wood and built this.
We ended up landing here by er.... acident.
He says now if i bend the big boat, as hes not on it....
As we were there.....
Lunch was jaffa cakes and pringles dunked in baked beans, followed by fanta and raw jellies.
Not exactly what I would have chosen, but my fault for letting them in unsupervised to buy provisions.
Setting sail for home again

Thank you Robbi
Being a bushcraft site, Im sort of keeping the boat stuff to a minimum.
However, if you struggle with the Idea of a 9 year old building his own boat and sailing it - including out into the English Channel.....
http://www.edsboat.co.uk
His boat story is still ongoing and his site is about a year out of date. I suppose I aught to push him a bit.
Here is the link to our £27 boat story. That one is also out of date. I need to write more.
http://www.ospreyboat.co.uk
Those two sites are owned, maintained and paid for by me.
There is no advertisements on them, they are not commercial sites, they are there simply because I wanted them.

It wasnt very nice.
In fact it was cold, windy and horrible
so the kids decided it was a good day to go dig a hole.
While I er......
Afterwards we ended up in here sharing dinner and comics and discussing what we wanted to do for entertainment in the next few days....

We threw the kids in here, with their windsurf boards and paddles - they dont like the sails.
(dates on these are wrong)
The Ozzy Osbourne lookalike is the wife (dont tell her or you are likely to end up with dents from where she throws stuff)
By the time I caught up with them, they were very tired....
even my little dynamo...
