Thanks , my dad took it!

Thanks, normally a bit outside my budget tbh, but worth every penny in this case I think.

Lol this was at my mothers house a few years back! sadly the bbq'd food did not look quite as good!

Here is an old one of myself somewhere on the west coast of Scotland, mid eighties I think.

That's some generous chrimbo presents mate.

Not so good news about the broken leg how did you manage that?
Hope it heals up well....

Certainly am a lucky lad .

It was a good natured tackle gone wrong in a PE football match, a shame really as footballs not my thing but as it was in school I was having a game and then bang I've snapped my tibia 2 days before a 3 night trip!

I always knew exercise was bad for you....heal well mate

 

[John Fenna]

I always knew soccer was bad for you - stick to less dangerous games ... like Rugby!
Get well soon!

 

[Clouston98]

that's what my my mam said!

And you must be right John, we played rugby In PE for about 2 months a year back and I didn't get injured!

Yep - a nice safe game!
All I ever broke playing Rugby were - my neck, my nose, and my ribs!
Never broke either leg!
An up to date picture of me having fun in the woods - making cordage

 

[Clouston98]

That's a great length of cordage you've made there John !
I love rugby when the players get battered and just carry on but the footballers fall easy and wait for a stretcher if they have sprained their ankle! I got a hand up and hobbled around just after it happened! Wouldn't fancy a broken neck though !

The cordage is brambles stripped of their leaves and thorns then braided.
I never noticed the broken neck at the time - it was picked up in a non related X-ray some 10 years later ... a flake knocked of one of the vertebrae and safely fused ... but out of position! It could have been interesting if I had moved wrongly at the time though!

 

[Clouston98]

I've made nettle but not bramble, added to the list of to do's

Got dead bored and started looking at photos from the summer, here another one :

I look really serious but I don't know why?

It was at a camp with little kit me and my dad did back in the summer, with a survival bag for a tarp, built our own structure, don't worry, we left no trace .
