hi Elen, certainly pristine. apart from my footsteps the only other signs of occupancy were tracks of rabbit, muntjac and fox. with lots of blackbirds scratching the leaves about under the snow, and long tailed tits mobbing the hazel shrubs

 

[TinkyPete]

looks great wish I was out in it.....oh wait i will be next week...out in the field got to teach the youngsters some basic survival

 

[woodspirits]

hope its still a whiteout for you pete.

 

[TurboGirl]

Wowzers I would have given up my afternoon frenziedly sewing, sledging and snowballing for that walk, for sure! Its looking gorgeous.... there's nothing like hungry birds to show you how a determined workparty can git r dun It's extremely reassuring to see the profits of our last workparty intact too!

Boyyyy, I'm really in the mood for the meet now are snowball fights acceptable 'camp etiquette' behaviour?! Presumably not aimed into the neck of bivvying jervans unless I want a filled hammock

 

[woodspirits]

cheers Sal' yes you would have loved it. as for what you get up to, we aint had a hangin fer a while...

 

[TurboGirl]

....we aint had a hangin fer a while...

As long as you don't all duck me in the moat I'm building security measures into the laavu so I might just fire then retreat behind trip wires to live to fight another day

[woodspirits]

the list is looking quite healthy, even though there will be the inevitable cancellations for whatever reason, it should still be well attended. (for february!) so if anyone wants to use the other areas available within the 'upper' North Wood, please do so, sometimes you happy campers forget and were virtually sharing the same guy lines!

re post 79, as an added incentive anyone pitching outside the main area of upper NW, can forage for wood. theres no need to bring in your own (unless you want to) usual guidlines apply of course, no live wood and off the floor etc see post 1.
this is for those who want to utilise more of the available woodland, its not a free for all axe frenzy!
