Well things are all on course for the 19th June to start my year. I've been buying bits and bobs ready for the off. I don't really need much, but I've bought a Murrika skillet to cook on which will come in very useful. I already have a couple of Zebra's so shouldn't need any more than that except maybe a dutch oven at some stage.
I've been having another thought, kicked off by what I read here.

It's an interesting read and my little overactive brain started wondering if anyone on here would be up for something like this
. renting a farmers field between us, and living in Tipi's or the like.
Obviously there would be a LOT that would need to be discussed but firstly has anyone got any kind of experience of living in a rented farmers field. What is the average cost? I have no idea. What are the pitfalls? how do you run it and resolve disagreements? It sounds like the lady on song of the paddle is having a fantastic time of it. You only live once eh?
Anyway just a tentative idea. I'm off to start my adventure in June anyway but if I love it, which I'm fully expecting I will, this could be something to think about for the longer term if anyone else was interested or indeed able to because of circumstances like family, work etc.
