So yesterday i managed to convince my mum to babysit Jake for me so i could get some woods time before i went completely stir crazy
so off to the permission i went taking my newly decorated Rugged River pack with me
The permission is absolutely covered in jack by the hedge
there is also a lot of these Arum's lurking about
and some with black spots on them too,
Fair bit of Cleavers (sp?) around too
And of course the ever present and suprisingly useful stinging nettle
Pete's wind break/mini shelter looks a little different now
in comparison to last time we were up there
i cleared Pete's wee shelter by adding it to my woodpile
This is my finnish gas mask bag that i am currently playing with as a kind of ditty bag to hold all the random gubbins i take with me it fits nicely in the RR pack preventing everything from hiding in corners
firelite appeared shortly after this and we had a good natter and nose at each others kit before getting the kettle on
i used a lighter to light the fire this time i hope certain folk notice this
Aftera few brews and a bit of a natter firelite had to head off so i cracked on with some classes from BCUSA's bushclasses
stopping often to ensure i was sufficiently hydrated and relaxed
a shot of the assorted sharps i took with me
some were taken as i always take them, some as i haven't had a chance to use them properly and one to review
This will hopefully become a netting needle once i finish it off, however it was good practice to refamiliarise myself with some finer axe work
some better shots of my rugged river wilderness explorer pack
All too soon it was time for me to head home on my way out of the woods i spotted this funky looking wee bug
not sure what it is but it looked pretty groovey
waving good bye to the permission
definitely different to the last time i got up there
and a nice view as i wandered home of the road surrounded by greenary and sunshine
And to top a great afternoon in the woods off we had pie and chips from the chip shop for tea so a great afternoon
Thanks for looking and coming with me
