Glad you got permission to use it for your teaching mate :You_Rock_ . I could give you a hand tidying up fridays as it's my day off. Maybe a thursday night camp out and an early start on the friday?

Nice find Rich. Good luck with the venture. Dont mind giving you a hand to tidy up the site. I'm always pretty busy but if you post dates I can always try to re-arrange.

Well done :) That looks a really interesting site, if only to see what happens when man disappears from somewhere and how long it takes for nature to reclaim the land. I should also be able to help from time to time. :You_Rock_

Hi everyone. Not done much bushcrafty things lately :rolleyes: Too busy hunting the ££££££££££. Although I see these creatures everywhere, they seem to be really hard to trap successfully at this time of the year :( Hope tha't not illegal in this country :D

It's not illegal but you probably need a permit :rolleyes: .
I had a wonder about yesterday and found a good patch of bay boletes and I've been having lots of chestnut and bacon soup too :p .
Been knifemaking alot too, just finished a bushseax for myself. I'll make the sheath tonight. And I'll probably work on a couple of blades tomorrow.
I'll have to set aside some time to work on my bows as I've a couple on the go at the moment. How are yours coming on? done any more to them lately?

dang it!
the moment i think things are safe! :rolleyes:

we have been trying to move house for a few monthes now, and don't you know it we can move in the next couple of weeks, so no camping yet.... :yuck:

should be moving to costessey, nearer to lord lurker though i'm not sure that's such a good idea :rolleyes:

i can't really organise a meet up till that's all sorted, as i'm sure you'll understand.

i'm quite busy in the week now though if anyone is planning a walk or meet up i'll see if i can come along for an hour or two.

HI all,
I've now finished uni, so i am more flexible and can get home to norfolk much more easily than the past three years, hopefully i can join some of you guys at some point, i meant to ages ago, right at the beginning of this thread. It would be excellent to time my next home visit with a meet up or walk etc. Cheers all, hope the move goes well rappleby.
