Northwood October 2012- Picture heavy :)

[TurboGirl]

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....

And this is Dreadhead and Water Gypsys lovely laavu, which recieved a lot of admiring glances!

The farmer reuninted Lee with his Henri Lloyd cap which made his meet!

And some more set ups....

We even got a mini-bimble in...

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

Loving his biscuit box fire too

Note the pics- everyone brought wood in, cheers, gents!

I grinned at this table and thought of absent freinds again

And more set ups!

And even more...

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

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

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

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!
