That looks great, strongly tempted to but on a brew now as nettles are so easily gathered.. not like the several hours I spent picking gorse flowers last month!

I like this idea too. I only ever get to taste my own brews and consequently have no other variations to compare against.. What if we were to set up a clu on the forums where we post samples to one another? Luke *disclaimer* my elderberry wine will not be ready until christmas as all my...

Currently enjoying my 2013 sloe gin in mine but I've just realised I had better put a bottle away for future consumption if I am to enjoy it at its best.. Some interesting choices here and I'm looking forward to sampling some of the recommended Scotch.. my personal favourites would be Laphroaig...

Another one here - sloe gin, elderberry wine, apple wine and my favourite - hawthornberry wine.. will try find some pictures when I can.. I am currently eagerly awaiting the flow of birch sap to try my first attempt at this wine..

Yeah there was 7 or 8 of them anyways. They were half eaten by insects and soggy enough with the rain. Thanks for the help.

Thanks a million Geoff. I came across shaggy parasol whilst trying to ID it but never made the connection. The Suillus fungi was growing beneath a woodland area with Scots pine, sycamore, ash and beech. Scot's pine was the only conifer though.

Hi guys, Could anyone help me with identifying these? Fungus 1 was growing in grass under the shade of trees, and fungus 2 was in a wooded area.... Fungus 1 Fungus 2

I'm in Waterford myself, in the countryside near Dunmore. Hoping to drive up to Wicklow soon and camp, I hear its decent for wilderness camping.

Its great to hear that this went successfull. I wish I could have come, but I havent been around these parts all summer. Any plans to organise something for the Autumn/Winter?

I should probably mention at this point, that the cooking will be done outside, not in the back of the van! I'm really liking that Duel Fuel Stove, thanks for all the advice gentlemen.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll look into all these now! I know roadtripping isn't the same as bushcraft but I've got a van now and I really want to see the west of Ireland so it's gonna be brilliant.

Hi, I'm gonna' be going roadtripping around Ireland this summer and I need to get a suitable piece of kit to cook my meals on. Could ye recommend a suitable Trangia or something similar? It doesnt need to be small, but of good quality for frying grub! Regards

Cu Faoil would be pronounced Koo Fweel but if the spelling is Cu Faol then it is pronounced Koo Fail. Atlast, my 12 years of Irish come in useful!

We've been feeding them for a few years now and theres atleast 15 doves, and lots of robins, wrens and magpies.

I'm in Waterford myself.

I'm quite fond of homemade red wine myself but for those nights around a campfire it's always gonna be Jack Daniels straight out of a flask.

If it has four petals then I'd place my bets on it being a brassica arite. Judging by the leaves it looks like Wild Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) to me.

Is that last one Jew's Ear?

Its happening here in SE Ireland too, the leaves are all on their way out and the blackberries are ripening. Its the first day in ages where its been gloomy too. I'm looking forward to the wild weather but not the short days!

Thats me underneath a coast redwood last summer.
