Tipi camping in the larch forest!

[Clouston98]

this is a late report- we went a while ago but I've had suspected either glandular fever/noro virus or even gastroenteritis. Anyhow I've only just managed to get the photos uploaded so here it is. A lot went on in the dutch oven and around the campfire as you can see. We had out Tentipi Safir 5cp and a friend of the family had his Onyx 7. Nice fires, great company and an all round good time with plenty of eating including beef in beer, ponnased trout and bacon, egg & sausage. Didn't take the stove as it's been really warm recently but I did get a kip on my fallow deer hide and lots of other new kit got a good test out too. We practiced some rope work going down a small gorge/ with a little overhang using the rope as a harness and lowering from an anchor point- only small but good fun. Really enjoyed myself so I'll stop babbling and show you the photos!

Grand looking camp, Cameron, we've had similar Spring-like weather down here as well, all shirt sleeves! You always eat very well on your trips and I love seeing the pics. Get well soon!

I got norovirus on the Mors course (or likely travelling to it as it takes a day or two to surface) - no fun at all

Yeah it's thoroughly bad crack - I've been feeling like a sack of you know what all week and it's been half term. Thankfully I've been starting to shake it off as of today so hopefully I'll be over it soon as I had it in its early stages before we left but just put it down to grogginess then we got back and all hell broke loose .

I also know I've got it from someone/ something not at home. Everything I've eaten at home or camping others have and haven't been ill so it's external source I've caught it from - nasty business it is too. Getting bloods done for analysis at the doctors so I should finally found out what the culprit is - though it's been playing havoc I at both ends of my spectrum for a week!

Did you get the whole world spinning thing every time you picked your head up?

Did you get the whole world spinning thing every time you picked your head up?

When it was at its worst I did yes- In the middle of vomiting I felt pretty faint and dizzy - not far from going for a burden. I'm usually 12 stone at 5'11" and I've dropped to 11.5 stone in a week I've been in a bad state and I don't know medical but I think I've got a red meat intolerance as even before the bug came I couldn't digest steak - roast or stew is ok especially in small doses but a tiny steak makes me ill. Hopefully all will be revealed by the doctor but I hope I can finish riding it out ASAP that's one thing I am confident on.

Sounds like you are doing the right thing getting it checked. It can be a lot of things. At its worst I couldn't even lift my head up without hurling. No fun - get it checked. Could be another bug, could be food intolerance. Could be migraine. But whatever - its not fun

As Steve says I was well poorly - had to go off to hospital then home after they shot me up with anti nausea drugs. I missed half the course dammit!

Feel better soon chap
