Theres a nice paddle from Thetford along the river. I could bring my open boat, lurcher could bring his inflatable and anyone else who has em could bring theirs too. I dont think the portage runs would be too bad with a few cars either end. Tell me what u think??
That sounds good. I've always wanted to try canoeing.GearGuru said:Theres a nice paddle from Thetford along the river.

the boat trip sounds nice! :You_Rock_
i have some water tight barrels(i had a blue one at the last camp) if people want to store dry kit or food drink on the journey.
i also have a spare dry suit it's to small for me only in height 1 or 2" inch less it would fit! (i'm 5' 11") though i don't have any life jackets or simular if anyone can get hold of a few that would be good!
if all else fails and we run out of boats, i'll tie myself on, and float behind one of the boats in my dry suit!
just to be on the safe side (serious) do we need any sort of permission or permit to use the river?
also if anyone is trying for a canoe certificate (i may as well) prehaps those of us that want to teach or get into the bushcraft business, write down all the details of the trip ie: (only has to be basic!)
map ref's
distance
time etc
and it can go towards a 1,2, or even 3 star certificate!

Unfortunatly,I won't be able to come to this meet, I have to have traction on my neck to relieve a trapped nerve and cant use my left arm that much . no paddling for me at the moment . Have a good time, though.

You could always come to the spot where we camp for a chinwag and a practice of skillsjojo said:Unfortunatly,I won't be able to come to this meet, I have to have traction on my neck to relieve a trapped nerve and cant use my left arm that much
.Hello again all
Just returned from a week in Devon with the family. Gathered loads of Crampball and used it with some dried Sedge (nearly took me eyebrows off!), had a good feast of Marsh Samphire from Westward Ho, an improved hand drill session (charred wood this time!) plenty of nuts and berries etc. Kids and wife were getting a bit fed up with me stopping and rummaging whilst out on walks !
Would love to come to next meet but looks like I'll be a bit busy for the next few weeks - house is like a builders yard and family members in hospital.
Will keep tabs on this thread when I can.
See ya'll sometime

Well, I don't know why I did not think of that in thefirst place
Yes, I can come for that, after all its not my tongue that needs traction or avoid exercise . Where will you meet and on what day? I can always bring those bows I am making.
My wife and i have been a-foraging and collected 4lb of blackberries(bramble),
most already is jam!
i made some Elderberry/bramble jam which is nice.
also made some less sucsessful crab apple jam, sort of sweet but very dry and bitty(my wifes chucking it in favour of bramble as i type )
I've found an excellent site (not telling! ) which will soon have huge Beachnuts and sweet Chestnuts! it's where we got the berries from! tee hee!
guess what jam i'm having all next year?
another reminder
9th or 10th of september
