cheers mate, i'm not the best with this computer stuff.
looking forward to see what you have got up your sleeve bud.

as the NW regulars know, theres a lot of coppiced hazel dotted all over the wood. gordon has no use for it so to add to our list of projects/activities, how about we make some hurdles? they will be usefull as windbreaks around the communal fire of a night and we could stash them on site. any thoughts?

[Karl82]

No problem LuckLee

Sounds like a plan Steve.

are hurdles like windbreaks? scuse my ignorance steve. ive got a new chopper i'm raring to try out so i'm up for anything. thats sounds dodgy but you know what i mean

 

[woodspirits]

hi simon,
yes mate i know what you mean, but dont mention it to cliff!

hurdles were a traditional form of cheap stock fencing amongst many other uses, very light and portable with natural materials readily available. superceded now by soulless materials or electric wire!

i cant believe one of our own approached an unsuspecting couple of 'campers' and asked 'have you got a match for this' whilst limply holding his 'bushy' tool ??

I have said nothing, to no one...

That didn't need to know...

Not sure what you mean by sexual awakening, Carly, but I reckon he lost more sleep after seeing a copy of Ch***s with D***s than his recent encounter.

 

[Twodogs]

It was no big thing , a bunch of blokes naked sun bathing it must be just a cultural thing ,,,,,slowly walk away .......yukkk

 

[woodspirits]

It was no big thing ,

hmm, so you err,... looked then?......

anyway, trust you had a great trip mate?

 

[SimonD]

the photos look great from the trip bud, thankfully no naked fellas

how much ground did you end up covering?

 

[woodspirits]

morning all

had a wander in nw yesterday having spoken with the farmer previously, i went to see the results of his work. apparently there used to be a track dissecting the lower part of the wood east to west, its been overgrown for years and it was decided to re-open it. it runs from the lower wood drop off point and joins the perimeter path the other side, see map link post 1.

what it has done is let a little more light in and made possible pitches more accessible either side of the track, it also runs alongside a potentially nice pool that few will have seen before.
just thought i'd let you know how things are progressing

here's the latest list bought forward;

Cheers for the update, Steve

 

[MartinK9]

Nice one Steve.

 

[TinkyPete]

Thanks for the update Steve, also with the hazel I'll bring a proper bow saw and a new axe that i have to play with to help with a bit of chopping really looking forward to this meet. Kit choices are packed but which one to go with is the hard part.

 

[Andy2112]

Going to have to miss this one lads due to a family commitment I forget.

 

[Twodogs]

Sorry to hear that Andy next time mate,

[MartinK9]
