chris...........................

I'll bring some rabbits and pigeon and whatever else the dog chases out in the morning, providing i can shoot straight anyone want me to bring a rabbit or somethin feathered for them to pluck or skin etc themselves?

 

[lannyman8]

hey up Joely, bring what you can mate, im sure it wont get waisted, and im going to tan the bunny skins in the wood so you could join in the fun.....lol......or mess lmfao.........

will bring some plonk to as i just bottled 20 up last night, might bring some home made cider but its not bottled yet and may not be ready by then.... the blueberry gin is a defo and its awesome........it dont even taste like gin any more, more like a blueberry shnaps type stuff......hhhmmmmmmmm, some of that on the bannok for breakfast (if it lasts that long)........

there are about 10 who are supposed to be going. im going the friday after i have sorted some stuff first thing then im away about 10:00hrs....... should be there for about 12 ish no probs........

awesome, i cant wait been ages since ive been out over night..........he he he he he he he he

chris........................................

 

[Chambers]

I wont be able to get out shooting before I get up so a rabbit would be handy if you can bring one

Ill see what I can dig out but dont really have anything special like animals or home made plonk, may be a trip to sainsbury's :-D

 

[lannyman8]

Chambers, there is no need to buy stuff on top of what you normaly would use mate.......people are just bringing a little of what they normaly get for free or cheap....

 

[joely]

No worries Chambers, i'll try and get out shooting again maybe a couple of nights next week to make sure there is enough to go around!
I would like to see how you tan the skins to chris, always seems a waste when i throw em away!

 

[lannyman8]

never tried it before, last time i was with Chambers we where supposed to try it but time ran away from up, what with our cold fire and soaked (and i do mean soaked) wood we had for burning......it was not the best site........

it seams easy to do realy, i think the hardest bit is to soften the hide......lots of rubbing and pulling with hands and sticks, but hey we can try together........

will bring some home made wine and got some blueberry gin which is awesome.......try and get some bunnies from my mate too........

Chambers, there is no need to buy stuff on top of what you normaly would use mate.......people are just bringing a little of what they normaly get for free or cheap....

lets all go to the metro centre and buy plonk its only 2 miles down the hill ! lol

 

[Chambers]

lol soaked isnt the word mate, it was like trying to light a fire with water

Ill be getting up on the saturday morning ideally. Either that or could get up on the friday night but wouldnt be untill about 10:30 I think
Whats other doing?

 

[lannyman8]

im going down friday lunch ish and setting up.....if you need a spot sorting Chambers just let me know, you can go next to me so you will have a fire when you get there....(if its not soaked...lol.....).

Northhumbrian, plonk from the shop is just not the same, but its good to know a shop is close by..........(just in case we run out of plonk....lol......).
