It was a quiet meet in many ways, with many absent freinds this time and dotted through the beautiful autumnal woodland :)

Saturday morning dawned clear and crisp, with the SSSI rhymed with a frost... gorgeous :)

There was lots of lovely leatherwork to drool over- here's Lee's ipad case/ stand. Very covertable :)

Just look at that tooling, inspired work as always!

There were some frozen folks clustered round the fire on saturday morning...

Here's some of the set ups- they looked so fine in the golden woods!

Someone hadn't done the washing up though ;) There's a wife somewhere scrubbing ;)

Jimbos set up looked crisp....

Cliff's set up was suitably gorgeous, that man knows how to build and locate a woodlan pad!

I grinned at this table and thought of absent freinds again ;)

They're sooo much tidier than mine!

Well, mostly... ;)

Here's Karls....

And some purposeful looking wood collectors, most was brought in though. I think he was carrying round for the 'bush accesory' look really :eek:

Happy campers!

Then I went for a bimble to the Yew tree and found MORE set ups!

I nearly brought them back with me on the end of the ash branch I was dragging ;) Tarp fishing, surely it's not illegal....

There's some beaut fauna peeking out from under the dampness-

Sunday morning was a lot warmer... positively hotpants weather in localised areas ;)

And the guys very kindly helped me to not only put up, but also collapse down and saw up my old tipi. It's the last outing for it as I need the space.... but a great chilled meet to say a fond farewell to some fun times in it :D

Thank you to everyone who comes along and pitches in, to Martin for stepping up to ensure the meet could go ahead and Steve especially for letting us carry on... you and Jase were mentioned often and were close in everyones thoughts xx

Great pics. Looks like a good meet. The woods look fantastic at this time of the year.

I even have a voice message of the meet on my phone as Karl rang me from his pocket whist around the fire.

Nice legs btw ;)

Brill pictures Sal looks a lovely meet, so sorry I could not make it. I was thinking of you guys (and gals) most of the weekend, just got to look forward to the next one. On the plus side I seem to be healing quite well. I'm no longer needing the pain killers and can straiten out now. Eating and digestion are ok and the join in my intestine is holding up to the rigors I put it through. See you at the next one!
