[stuart f]

I can thoroughly recommend a march through the woods with flaming torches singing 'War Pigs'....(we were all denim,leather.hair and teeth then).

Certainly lets you have them to yourselves..

Excellent pics Gaz,

Hey,what about dressing like Rick Astley in nice blazers... singing 'War Pigs' at the next onewelcome1: to my world )

Aye alright Tam as long as they are olive drab

Hey Vince,
How many recipes did you get through?

Breads,roast lamb and popcorn I know of.

And Don,t forget the bannock.

Cheers Stuart.

[stuart f]

Hi Josh,they were braided Nettle on the left and half eaten Willow on the right,i had a wee problem with a mouse in me shed,i was gutted at first as the cordage was 15 feet long,but on hind sight we did have a harsh spell of snow for a while,and i would'nt want to see any critter starve to death.
A hard lesson learned,always store your cordage in a sealable container.

Cheers Stuart.

I wish I could have made it along. Maybe next time?

 

[gregorach]

Aye, looks like you all had a fine old time... I was unfortunately busy dealing with yeast propagation for the weekend's brewing and working down the allotment. Maybe next time...

Great photos on all the various threads, it was great to meet you all.

I left a wee tupperware box with teabags and boiled sweeties on one of the tables. I don't want it back, just enjoy the contents - they're only tesco value teabags I'm afraid though.

Cheers
