Great time in the woodlands again at the Monthly meet, I arrived an meet Nick, Chris and Carl at the compasses, and had a refreshment before making our way to the Woods, later in the day the others arrived, the weather could not have been better for us,
I had made my mind up to try to get some kit sorted out for when I do the Boone Challenge and used a Canvas Rucksack, and took some Bannock mix, Dried Meat, Dried Fruit, and some Flap jack to eat, all in all it worked well,, now I have more Idea what I will take on that Trip
.
I set up my new East German Poncho Tarp and my Czech bed roll.. in next to no time, following that Chris had brought along A slap for the fire place an t we got to work setting it in, and the fire was light, the rest of the day went well.
It was a funny night sleeping for me First time for years not in a Hammock, and had a full night, just waking a couple of times,
The next day we set to makeing a table using one of the trees for a bench, did some Spoon carving, and started to try to make a Hurdle.. well I did say Tried..
Carl found a Hammock in the Back of his landy which was Hung in the communal area, Paul found a use for it
The evening was a good chat round the Fire, then to bed.. I had a better sleep in the bed roll and work up to cook my breakfast...
I Caved Three spoons in total, just got to finish them off and take the rough edges off
It's going to be a great weekend, wish I was there.
