Took the boys up the woods on Thursday for a three dayer, had to cut the trip short though as when i went back to the car this morning, which is kept behind a locked gate by one of the land owners barns btw, i found my car had been vandalised, every single panel on the car has been scratched, hopefully they will polish out, which is a job for tomorrow, if i cannot get rid of them im going to have to make an insurance claim for it, this is the first time we have had a problem up the woods, but it goes to show, you are not safe anywhere, i know it happened over night as when i checked the car last evening it was fine then this morning, devistation, didnt even hear the little ******** that did it, wish i had, would have given them a fright if nothing else, anyway few pics from the trip:
Camp area, same spot again, has a really nice feel to it in this area
Stool i made
going foraging
Nettles for dinner
nice boggy area that we planted up with Reed Mace for a future resource
me making the above pictured stool
Dinner on the go
and done
Sausage, bacon, potato (boiled & jacket), carrots & nettles, with ketchup or chilli sauce to accompany
being devoured, found the stool also made a handy table top as well
couple of random shots
boys enjoying the fire
and a word to the wise, the poll on an axe hurts, i did this early on in the day, i was hammering in a tent peg got distracted by a fly/mossie, missed the peg and clobbered my thumb with the axe poll instead, strangley no blood and tbh it's not even sore, just a gaping cut though, the reason it's looks a bit white and wet is i had it covered all the time we were up the woods, took the above photo when we got home.
Apart from opening my thumb up and having the car done over it was an enjoyable trip, the owls & nightingales were going mad last night, a cresendo of night time song, if it wasnt for the car, we would still be there.

puts a downer on a spot when bad things like that happen. and looks like a cracking little woodland retreat you have there to
