I meet Mike On Friday we made our way to the Woods, and began to set up the Communal Shelter and get the Fire together, then started to unload our kit, piled it up in the Communal Area, set the Fire and brewed up, following a brief chat we both decided to sleet in the Shelter that night and pitch our own on Saturday morning, I also Roasted some green coffee beans ready for the weekend.
Friday night was an Easy meal for me a nice smoked Mackerel Grilled over the fire with some bread, following having some thing to eat we set up around the fire... chatted and had a few brews passing the time.
We woke on Saturday and set to work rebuilding the fire and cooking breakfast, for me .. full cooked. Following Breakfast We set up our Pitches, Mike and I then set to making a Swedish Torch, read for use later.
I then went onto make and Bake a Fruit loaf in a Dutch oven
Colin Arrived after that and he set up and the finishing touches were put on my pitch.
Mike and Colin's Pitches
Following that Mike set to with the evening meal.... Spit Roast Beef, Roast Potatoes, and Veg... followed by Baked Apple and Custard
Beef Roasting
Apples in Clay Oven
The finished Meal..
- Nice one Mike Thank you for that
The time came to light the Swedish Torch, the natural fiber cord burnt out, so with a rummage in my Disco I came up with some wire to hole it together
Then the thing got too lose so was put on the fire the copper from the wire gave us some coloured flames..
Sunday morning came starting with a breakfast of a sausage omelette and fresh Coffee, we then went for a Bimble
On the way back we picked up some logs, that were ready for splitting, we used a Wedge and some gluts rather than an axe
After that we went for another Bimble, to look at another wood ready for the Boone Challenge at the end of the month.
Then back for evening meal... Venison Grill, Veg, Potatoes.
After the evening meal time to chat and pass some time with two good Mates.
Heres a few other pics from the weekend
Sunday was a cooked Breakfast to use up some food, Strike Camp then home to start the unpacking,
The weather was quite kind, but changeable from sunny to showers to a storm, then back to sun, it was a great weekend with Two great Guys, thanks for your company Colin and Mike, and thanks for the Roast Beef Mike.
Hope you enjoy,
