Hi People, just returned from one of the most enjoyable camps i have ever had! And that is saying something.
What with christmas, new year awful weather and all that malarkey, i was itching to get to a new spot that required work.

Day 1, myself and youngest packed up and set off, as you can see i loaded him up like a pack horse (only kidding) We worked our socks of, before an all day breakfast breakfast.

Loads more clearing in the afternoon, then time to collect mum and brother, i had a curry off! With eldest, he did chicken korma and i did lamb madras, both were delicious, mum does not do spicy so we made her a tin of ravioli!! Anyway a lovely evening and an early night.

Day 2, my great mate Skate and my youngest daughter Katie arrived, so we set them to work with the promise of an amazing beef casserole as payment!

Well enough of my ramblings, as ever i think my pics tell the story the best, so have a look, and as ever all comments good or bad always welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Ivan...

More pics in a mo.

Haha no.28 balancing a tilly lamp on my head. Thanks for a great time Ivan and family. As always a real pleasure to spend some time in the woods with you. My new 4x4 dd tarp provided a veritable palace to spread my mess around in and will be my preferred residence from now on.

Thanks for the comments chaps, always nice to have a bit of feedback.

It is one of those woods that, just feels right, you are far enough away from civilization to feel a world away, without it being a massive hike, there is a stream running along one edge, a lovely mix of hardwoods and because it has lain untouched for 30 odd years there is windblown and firewood in abundance.

Really looking forward to more work and of course play in the next year and beyond!

OH yeah Paul, she is all grown up now! Still held her own with the bows, she is a natural.

Looks a good trip Ivan, nice to blow off the cobwebs with the family and friends after the festive period. The grub looks pretty darn good, especially that stew. Real rib sticking, stomach warming stuff. As ever you seem to have a massive pile of firewood so at least you were cosy.
Always good to see your trips, folk always seem happy in them - no long cold faces, and that's the whole point of getting out.

Cheers for posting them up.
