NE Meet 3 - September

[Shambling Shaman]

were out, I am going to be left holding the fort (quite literally holing the keys to the castle!) over the weekend as my boss is a way.

Hope you all have a good time and look forward to seeing the photos.

I have just found out I've been double booked for the Sunday

I think turning up late on Sat and leaving early on Sun will take all the fun out of it for me.

A bit of a pity I was looking forward to it, and meeting you. Ah well there's always the next one...

 

[CBJ]

No worries guys,

Thanks for letting us know.

There will be plenty of other meets for you to come along to and I will make sure theres lots of photos.

All the best

Craig

What did I miss?
By the time that my mate finally turned up, it was too late to head back to Haddo. Disappointing... as I'd managed to unearth my cobwebbed bolas: perfect for illustrating how much nicer CBJ's and Charles' were.

Thanks to the organisers, and to the attendees!

Hi Chance, we did a few small things on the Sunday made the reed mat, showed a few traps, Mark showed us a small basket made from the reeds.

The weekend was pretty good and we covered alot, so photos will follow soon.
Thanks again Craig for organising it again.

 

[RichardIT]

Would love to make the next one

How Sunday evening was spent as compensation: hunting cardboard.

Nice Chance, did you put weights in your bolas or is it just the weight of the monkey's fist you are using?


On a side note for those interested:

Wildwood Wisdom Book, which is a nice little book and gives plenty of ideas fors projects.

Rocks - that is, smooth pebbles the size of a ping pong ball (I would have said "small egg" to be more bushcrafty, but all eggs are small to an ostrich or roc).
