Nearly time.  We're a bit short on numbers this year.  More a mini-meet this time but I think that gives us an excuse to fit another one in later in the year ;)

I'm looking forward to the en-forced down time.  If I start nodding off don't take it personal just prod me with the  :pok: :D

Can I share someone's stove by the way?


If there's anything I'm meant to be bringing for anyone please PM/email me and remind me :tu:

i hope to make it if there is another one this year neil, this one sadly was too close to my holiday the other week  :-\  hope you guys have fun and watch out for tonys big chopper  :D

Neil, if there's any chance of a little modded Alox turning up with you on Saturday, I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating biscuits ;)

We still have the van so cooking heat is available without any drama too :)

Crappy news guy.... big apology too :(

We can't make it tomorrow - several factors but the main one being that my physical health is pretty awful this week and it shows no signs of shifting. I had hoped I would be getting better by now but the joint are not playing nice and I know I will be in no shape for the journey or the camping out.

I'm REALLY hoping that the August one will be bigger and better for everyone to make it. If I have to be wheeled there, we'll try and find a way. So sorry guys, especially for the late notice. Hope you have a splendid time even if you do have to cook for yourselves ;)

I can't say too much because of the 'what go on at meet stays at meet rule'

But what I can say is both Gareth and Neil did very well in the 'guess the pole dancers name' game (I got the runner up prize)  :D

Thanks to Allen and Zed for the prizes  :salute:

Cheers to Tony for all the bacon, sausage eggs etc a man could ever want.


Some fun with axes



and a little crossbow




We did look at some tools and knives etc (sometimes very closely ;))




While we did play with axes and Tony's big choppers we didn't take down half a tree, honest.  That was a combination of a lightning strike a few weeks ago and some very high winds while we were there.  Quite an impressive crash when it came down, though I'm glad we were nowhere near it at the time.

I was wearing a hoodie at some points, does that count? :D  Sadly it was much too windy for anything like safe shooting. :-\

I really should get some glasses  ::)

I'm glad you liked your food on the well done side  :tu:

I'm still very sad about the baked potatoes  :ahhh and maybe my 'smoked coffee' is an acquired taste  :-\

And a big thank you to Neil for all the beer!  :drool:  :cheers:

Gareth practicing his throwing



Giving thanks to the God of Axes





Gareth taught me the old Scottish tradition of Ax dueling
walk six paces turn and throw (that's a grin of fear)  :ahhh



But neither of us wanted to play against Neil  >:D




Making sure we have enough fire wood chopped up





This foraging for food lark is quite easy really  ;)

Love that action shot of the axe throwing, in fact I think it fits very neatly between these two pics. :tu:
