Shining Cliff Woods - An offer

[johntarmac]

Take no notice Mick, someone mentioned snow and that's Arctic as far as I'm concerned.

Oh there'll be snow I reckon its pretty much guaranteed this weekend... one of the reasons I'm so giddy... love being out in snow!

You still bringing a spade John? I need to bring a bow saw and an axe apparently... at this rate I'll have a full tool shed in the back of the car! lol

I've got a bow saw and axe in Dewi if you want to leave yours not a bother but never bad to have spares

We can take a pair... nowt wrong with doubling up on gear if we have it... means we'll get the job done twice as fast while John is making a brew

This is gonna be a good weekend

 

[mick91]

Just don't be too shocked at the heath Robinson appearance of some of my gear. I buy good gear, then modify it to make it work, but it usually ends up looking odd lol

As long as you don't take the micky out of my 'black bag' gear

I was bought a raft of new gear when I turned forty, but I swear its from the Special Forces Surplus Store lol

Not that I mind, its good solid gear and it carries everything i need... just because I look like I'm auditioning for the SAS, who cares!

 

[mick91]

All about whatever works for you mate! I have to admit I have been swayed by some aspects of tactical gear. But when I start using a rifle like this

please feel free to turn it on me

 

[dewi]

How did you get a piccy of my air rifle????

Spade is on my list right below lip balm.

Hi guys, I'm defo still up for it! I've been counting down all month lol is there anything I can contribute? I don't have many tools other than your general hiking gear, maybe some cobs/bread to accompany Mick's mountain of burgers and sausages?

I'm on half day leave tomorrow so should be able to touch base around half 2 ish.

Anything like that is an idea. I think we have tools covered really so just whatever you think

 

[dewi]

So does everyone know where we're going?

Grabbed a couple of nets of logs today... I'm bringing a bow saw, Mick has an axe and John has a spade... so tool wise we should be good. We've got permission to use certain felled trees, but obviously we have to process the wood ourselves.

Got 16 litres of water, so should have plenty... parachute is always in the car, so got a group shelter... and I've got a mini foldaway grill.

Only thing I didn't manage, mainly due to having a busy day, was the dutch oven... place that sells them is a 40 minute drive, just didn't have the time. Maybe next time for the dutch oven.

 

[Grotzilla]

Yeah I know the spot, I've been on walks through the woods before.

I've packed all my gear tonight, probably packed to many clothes but rather safe than sorry! Apparently it's going to snow this weekend! 😁 haha

Yep... weather says low chance of rain, low wind, and low low temperatures... particularly Saturday night.

I bought a thermal vest and thermal long johns today for £8 from Aldi... bargain

 

[mick91]

Dug the norgie out and layering up in shirts. Should be fine!

Have a great weekend guy's, don't forget the skewers.

 

[dewi]

Oh yeah.... the eggs on skewers!!! I would have forgotten all about those!

Not checked the chickens today, so I'll see what eggs I've got... if there isn't enough, there is a shop in the village near the camp... or no doubt there will be a farm locally.

Skewers! Good call.

 

[johntarmac]

I've got two oven shelves for the grill, just need to find some branches for supports.

Are we at spot A or C on the map?

 

[dewi]

We can use spot A... and I've got instructions for where we can take timber from... and we park up near spot C.

What time you going to be there John?

Oven shelves! That sounds like a plan! We can rig up some supports, no worries.

Getting giddy now... I set off to collect Mick in just under 7 hours Gonna be an adventure
