Hi sorry i've been very busy recently,
given up the bushcraft teaching lark for a while anyway, had to get work so was on government course to update my work skills.
it worked very well and i just started my first days work as a grounds keeper/gardener for colmans mustard (yup they really do have gardens!) it's a nice job, loads of playing with little tractors and strimmers!
i also have come across another site in south walsham that could be used for some bushcraft stuff, it's a wetland wood, so could be interesting making camp etc.
hethel really is a nice site as long as you realise there are some hazards.
sadly it means no mid-week meets for me.
what's the rest of you been up to?

Nothing much on the thread recently so heres a couple more pics taken on a family day out at the end of october...
We practiced a bit shelter building...
...followed by a bit of puffball archery !
...and found an abundance of fungi. This one was found by my eldest daughter and is, I believe 'Russula emetica', The Sickner.
See ya'll

Hi guy's
christmas now over i can relax a little, Kids and babies everywhere....
the Colmans job was a wash out, i'll tell you about it later
for those interested i was doing some conservation work at "lion wood" and we took down many many bushes which i always thought were rodhadendran(poor spell) it's laurel, so anyway, there is tons (quite litterally) of cut laurel whether is a useful bushcraft wood i'm not sure but it seems "hard and flexible" possible bow material? or tool handle wood?
the other more fun side is there is plenty enough to build some full-on shelters, with loads to spare.
the wood's themselves are quite big and hilly, so worth a looksee anyway.
also i'm checking out a new site for possible camps near "south walsham".
how's you all doing?
p.s. i'm on Facebook, as "Richard Appleby" "london area" if youknow me you'll recognise my photo please feel free to add yourself as my friend.

Hi Rich, i'm up for both, if we cld sort out some provisional dates its easier to plan! Be good to see ya again mate
Thanks Snuffkin, I'm back up from time to time as the rest of my family remained loyal, it'd be nice to combine a weekend seeing them with meeting a few nature loving county folk, i'll keep an eye on the thread, hopefully one of your meets will match the family diary.
Thanks again, Mick.
