well, we had a great meet up today!
we went to whitlingham park area (east norwich) rather than hevingham heath due to lots of hold ups on the roads.
those present were:
myself(rappleby2000).
Snufkin
Lord lurcher
and Jay Jay (forgive me i can't remember the 2 younger peoples names )
had a great time i demo'd the Bow drill everyone had a go and everyone produced fire! Fantastic :You_Rock_
what more can i say!
:You_Rock_
there are soon to be photos of the days event!
knowing the group a little now i think it wise to organise a camp in the near future!
thought for the day:
"don't leave your car key's in other persons car " ooops!

Lord Lurcher easily lights up another.
Excellent afternoon spent in the woods. Just wish we'd had more time to spare

top notch electriktrickry!
Jay jay you've done a fantastic job!
it's wierd it's the first time i've seen myself teach!
i look really relaxed, i never thought i did!(it's special instructor magic! )
well, today i contacted Biddlesby about a campsite at a place called Garlveston which is quite close to Norwich, it's a scout campsite with toilets and areas to light fires in not much in the way of trees for hammocks but from pictures i've seen 2 ,3 or mabey more could be put up! but to be safe i would take a tent or tarp.
anyway thanks to Biddlesby i have the contact details and i've sent an E-mail asking permission to camp there.
if all goes well we should be able to camp there soon!
i shall try to find the thetford details too! as it's a really nice camp!

still no luck on the campsite i'm afraid,
i shall try to contact them another way(one of the E-mails is not working).
well my Boss has "let me off" some more days so more time to play in the summer!
when do people want to meet again? any preferred dates?
