I’m just back from five days away in North Aberdeenshire/Speyside and thought I’d inflict a couple of pictures on you :D .

The first couple of days I was on a Bushcraft course (Thanks Richard ;) )
Where we were
Making shelters

Feather sticks

Lighting fires
Making Mallets
And trying to do cordage (I made a bracelet out of mine)
My new Frosts Mora came in very handy ;)


This was the first time I’ve used the hammock and I was very impressed with it :) .
Well, Impressed on the night I actually managed to hang it level and fairly tight :eek: .
Other than that I kept waking up and having to readjust myself. I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually. On Saturday morning I woke at 5am and didn’t want to get up as I was enjoying the view from where I lay.

A red squirrel was scampering about camp running backwards and forwards under the hammock and didn’t seem at all concerned that I was there. Unfortunately no photo I just made the most of watching it.

I was going to say I must get out and about more,
but I think I’m out at least every weekend from now till I go to Sweden in July :rolleyes: :D .

Sounds like you had a great time :)

I have also found that wildlife is not at all put off by the hammock as i have spent a few lazy mornings watching all sorts running around my hammock.

Well done for getting out there ;)

It looks like you had a top camp site there! It must have been nice to be able to hear the water running at night. Alway's nice to see some photo's!
