Tell you what, I'll leave mine, a bow or two and the canoe up there and pick them up again later :). I've monday booked off so can come back up on sunday night.

just started packing, assembled my hammock/underblanket so it's all pitched in one go, fitted my new reflective guy lines to my hex fly, really looking forward to it :D
it's going to be a busy week for me,
I've got my birthday tomorrow, two job interviews in Aberdeen on Wednesday, and going to Achray on Thursday. :D

Good luck then Graham. Aberdeen is a good place.

Looks like this is shaping up to be a great meet.

don't feel bad, everyone was a newbie at one point.
come along and learn, there is always something new to learn.
as to the knife, andrew (outdoorcode) isn't coming, so i'm not sure about the knife sales. are you looking for a fixed or folding blade?
if it's a decent fixed blade you're after and don't want to lay out much cash, i've got a frosts mora lying about spare.

Eleanor seems keen to come so looks like I will have at least one daughter in tow. Looks like I will need a spot for two hammocks as Eleanor may only be 8 but she knows that a real bushcrafter only sleeps in a hammock or a Tipi.

She is currently doing a project at school on the Vikings. If only there were some way to work that into the weekend ;)

After kids return from a bushcraft weekend with all the characters they meet and alternative ways of doing and thinking teachers stop asking them questions because the answers arent always the ones in the text books! They aren't wrong just the not the answers being sought by most teachers :D .

aye man, bring it along - i could be interested. i've got a couple of opinels that i use for work and in the garden. but a fixed blade could be good for outdoorsy stuff.

Guess I'm not actually a bushcrafter yet then :rolleyes: .
We'll be in a tent, though I can see us all eyeing the hamocks enviously.

Looks like Paul may come too but we may not get there till later on friday night. Can someone save us a good spot for pitching said tent and we'll let you have a burl in the canoe :) .
