Ray mears my outdoor life passaround

[Grathr]

This thread needs a bump - about 1/2 way through, really enjoying the book.

Who's next ? 

Yes.  Who wants to be next?

[Grathr]

Giving this a bump!

[zoidberg]

I've been stalling, bout halfway though it.   

[Grathr]

Well, there seems to be no hurry.

[eamo]

Well, there seems to be no hurry.

 
well, if no one is waiting i'll pass on to my better half - my eldest wants a read too but he has state exams coming up and no way am i going to give him something to enable him to procrastinate in his studies !

[Syncop8r]

Where is my copy off to next? It doesn't have to stay in the Southern Hemisphere...

Guys, in the absence of no one wanting to read Rays book, it has taken a detour to a non member (my other half, who does indeed own her own MT) and so Ray is currently back in the UK temporarily.

Great!

Let us know what you think of his experience of alien abduction - I thought it was a refreshingly honest read. 

[Kev D]

Who do I need to PM my address to?

Sorry - I promise I won't spoil the tastefully written sexual encounter he had with Bear Grylls. Oops  I did it again!

[Syncop8r]

Did you believe the bit about him tracking that black panther?

[eamo]

Kevin, pm me your address - not sure if i still have the packing Dolly travelled in or not (ie, with your address), so send it on to me - life has been real hectic these last couple weeks, so might be well into next week before it hits the postbox.

PM incoming.  No probs, I don't go on hols till the 17th  and it'll only take a few days to get here.

[Kev D]

It's here, thanks Eamo

Coincidentally, I just found out about half an hour ago that Ray Mears was speaking at the UK Bushcraft show a few months ago.

I've never actually heard of the UK Bushcraft Show before today, but according to Google maps it's 4.4 miles from my front door

That sounds like my kind of show. I wish there was something similar close to where I live.

[DaveK]

I'm just amazed I don't know anything about it! I've even been to the venue a few times when nephews and nieces have visited.

Drive past the place all the time lol.

[Syncop8r]

Hey you're not far from Ashby-de-la-Zouche - cool castle there!

[DaveK]

Hey you're not far from Ashby-de-la-Zouche - cool castle there!

I'm very close to Ashby de la Zouch, 5 miles or so. Both my kids went through school there and I worked there for a while in the noughties.

The castle is OK. Not much of it left though and the custodian wouldn't let me fly my drone over it - booo.

The best thing to come from Asbhy is McVities biscuits

[Syncop8r]

Nah it vwas COOOLL! We gotto go up a half-ruined keep (quite freaky when you have been through 13,000 earthquakes) then in an underground tunnel.

Also, when I did jury duty, an associate of the defendant came from there. 
That was an interesting case... involving VW Kombis, racehorses, antique farm machinery, Irish gypsies and a homosexual affair with horse trainers....
