Great pics Martin! Is that a "mermite type" food container next to the 5 gallon jerry can?

Neil - Love the tiger stripes! Nostalgia time...Your choice, either "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel or Ode to "Neilly Joe", errr I mean Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry.

Cliff - You look good in a "sea of blue". I've seen BG carry his Crusader and water bottle with the 550 cord sling but not his bushy knife. I like it mate!

Last, I'm not sure who the dagger "tatted", experienced 'crafter is, but I like the poppy bracelet and all that it stands for! Hi there mate, my name is Gordy!

Gordy

P.S. Forgot to add... Lovely bannock!

Hmm, thought I'd already commented on this but it appears I haven't. Great pics as always Martin and thanks for sharing them. It's like a trip down memory lane after you've been to a meet, I always look forward to having a look at what you post on your return.
