What are you excited about?

[Tony]

Now that the lockdown is easing a bit and there's some more freedom and hopefully more to come, what are you excited about doing that you've not been able to?

I'm looking forward to seeing a few people and jumping in the sea with friends and having some adventures. It'll be good to have people over for a BBQ and to go further afield walking without feeling like I shouldn't be there...

Im going sailing every week.

And will be off on holiday in June

And the Bushmoot.

I have lots of things to look forwards to.

Dad, meanwhile is whining because he wont be going to Tenerife...

Hehe. I've managed to get a few kayak fishing trips in since things have eased, which has been great, especially learning how to anchor. But I'm looking forward to doing some kayak surfing and overnighters involving the kayak. Hopefully a road trip exploring the islands of Western Scotland is on the cards later in the year.... We'll see.... in the meantime I'm pretty happy to be fishing and foraging

Going back to work!
Dressed as an Iron Age warrior, demonstrating Flint and Steel firelighting, foraging and talking about all sorts of Iron Age things - and getting paid for it
I love my job!

 

[Tengu]

Thats right, John, rub it in.

Seeing my lads face when he gets his new bike early enough to take it into a big school photoshoot to promote cycling as transport instead of the car. We got the email is ready and we've managed to arrange for it to be collected and brought to us.

After that I'm looking forward to a summer cycle tour or possibly base camping with our pandemic times converted van and a tent with day rides out. Our son, as always, showing what a star he is on a bike.

Oh! And I hope to get us all out for our first family wild camp. I've been saying that since the lad was a few months old, he's 8 now! We just haven't managed to find the time. This year is it, i promise! Covid get out if it doesn't happen.

I’m looking forward to the ranges opening up again. Made a helluva lot of ammo during lockdown. That and the post-shoot BBQ’s!

Playing DnD (it's all about the pizza)

Ha ha, we moved our D&D online through the whole the lockdown, it's not the same but it's better than nought!

My group did that but I deemed it the greatest travesty since Bob Dylan went electric.

 

[Silverclaws2]

I have searched and I searched and I find I am not really looking forward to anything as well, years of ill health well prepared me for lockdown, to find I do what I can when I can, to not be too fussed if I can't of which I think sort of ties in with the Myers Briggs INFP personality type of which I am aligned.

warmer nights so I can take my son to our woods for a couple of nights

 

[Broch]

To be honest, mainly just spending more time with the grandchildren. I've got loads of projects on so I'm really not missing much at all other than that. I had to go into Shrewsbury last week to pick up some gear; after just an hour I was exhausted by the chaos of people and traffic - I'm in no rush to get back to 'normal'.

I don't think we'll be doing any of our coast trek this year; maybe next year if the fuss over wild-camping and messy camper van owners has died down.

( I know its cheap!! I wouldn't be wanting to drop serious money on things that depreciate. )

 

[Lean'n'mean]

There's hardly time to get excited about anything with the september lockdown only 4 months away.

I’m not doing much wild camping until after the summer. To many folk about getting in the way.

I do get slightly excited when it is not snowing. (We have had flurries for the last several days.)

I had to sop planting seed in my veg patch today because we had a heavy hailstorm!
