Hi Guys,
My first proper post so forgive me if it quite short. I finally found some 'me' time and spend some time outside now that it's stopped raining. There is a reservoir not far from my house that I've not been to since I was a kid so yesterday I thought Id go for a quick walk and see if anything has changed up there. I set off at about 10 o'clock after I'd dropped my daughter at school and got to the hillside overlooking the res by about half 10 ish. A fantastic view Im sure youll agree.
The water looked quite nice so I decided to walk around the hill to the other side and then to the base of the res to have a nice cuppa when taking in the view, plus it gave me another chance to get the hobo stove out.
Finished my cuppa (hobo stove was a git to get going as not a lot of dry fuel around due to the poor weather we been having) and decided to take a look around. Unfortunately it seems other less respectful people have also found this nice site. Its shocking how people cant be bothered to clean up after themselves or take home their litter.
Well I didnt have much time before picking my son up from crèche so made a move, next time will make sure to take a black bag with me and try to clean up abit. Ill def be making another visit but have learned a few things:
1. Never leave home without my trusty Mora Knife (a few feather sticks with the bark peeled off would have made fire lighting A LOT easier.
2. Never leave home without Bug Repellent (Migies everywhere).
Cheers Guys
