Well - I have been back up the woods and this time the lads joined me for Friday,Saturday and Sunday - so we had an extra day to play with and even more work got done!
Last time we were up there one side pole of my stretcher bed broke so this time Friday was mainly spent renewing my sleep system (it is about 3 years old now and past its prime...) - new tripods, new pegs, re-positioned ridge-line and a replacement side pole.
Yup - the side pole I did not replace broke as I got into bed on Friday night ... ground dwelling again!
Saturday was mainly spent working on the Palace - side walls to give some protection to the gear store area and sleep area and a table were completed - Dave built a new chair... more a Throne to go with the palace really and Stuart manfully dug a new toilet trench while I replaced the broken side pole in my bed!.
Much relaxing in the sun was undertaken and other than a thick mist taking over the site on Friday night the weather was fantastic and we were reluctant to leave on Sunday, delaying things as long as possible...
My renewed bed
The palace so far
Daves Throne
A local landmark tree we visited during a bimble - known as "The Big Tree" (the biggest Lime I have ever seen)- with its attendant flowers...
Another great weekend!
