My kids really enjoyed story time!

Well done to the organisers for making the Moot so child friendly and engaging for the kids.

Mine struggled with the overall length of some of the tasks but had a lovely big list to pick from.

Nice to meet you too mate.

Nice to be able to put a few faces to names, Looks like you all deserve to be taking another week off to recover.

I wish I'd caught the person who donated the foil tray to the atlatl and flint display. Really p155ed me off having to tidy up other people's rubbish.

I think we had a new record this year for the youngest bushcrafter 6 or 7 weeks old, thats a lovely shot of drews tree I'll bet his family would like a copy, did anyone get a photo of the planting?
