Rough Close OTS Meet (pic heavy)

[Mesquite]

Just had a great time at the Outdoor Trade Show meet last weekend.

It was great meeting up with some good friends and relaxing in the woods with them. Thank you Phil for facilitating it :You_Rock_

Anyway here's a few pics I took of the weekend, sorry for the quality of some of them as I was using my phone camera

My sweet home for the weekend

Someone else's home

The weather forecast was so nice some people decided to do away with tarps (just for the record Gary moved the canvas throws over his kit to protect them during the night )

Gary and John making sulphur matches

The end product of their activities

We had this Stinkhorn come up about 10 feet from the communal area

Didin't smell too bad at first but by the time it got to this size the flies obviously thought differently, and so did we

We went for a little bimble and came across this yellow slime mould

We also found some more Stinkhorns just emerging... there were loads of them dotted all around the site

Well John... which looks, and probably tasted, better?

Teepee's firepit... a great idea if you've a bad back and don't want to be bending down too much

On the last day John did a bit of wax carving. The wax was from Goats Cheese mini Babybels

And of course there was lots of bushcraft TV each night

We have it on order. As with all providers, delivery times can be a bit hit and miss

Glad it went well - apart from the chiggers - and sorry not to be there - apart from the chiggers - but my (previously booked) commitment in Yorkshire went well - despite all the rain and wet ground.
