Beautiful (if a little bit chilly!!) winters day here so headed out with youngest, a mate and his two kids and my mates visiting friend + 2 boys.
Gave us an excuse to get the new DD Hammocks and Tarps up for a look. Mine and my mates kids are well used to traipsing about in the woods with us. They soon set to getting a fire going (new custom firesteels from santa you see) and whittling wood ready for damper bread twist that we'd made up before heading off.
The most suprising thing, or perhaps it shouldn't really be, was that as the darkness started to fall, while our kids sat in comfort by the fire baking bread, the "friends" two kids really started to freak out a bit at the the thought of not getting home through the woods and the chance of being "eaten" by something in the dark forest (They're 10 and 8).
Was all a bit sad really
