Well I decided to go spend the night in the woods that I have just got permission to use,I have guerrilla camped here before but its much nicer knowing if the farmer turns up its just for a cuppa and a chat.
My Wife dropped me off at 4pm and it took about an hour to set up camp,first priority was get my tarp up and my kit underneath it as you never know when the skies will open up here in England, I also Set up my hammock with sleeping bag and self inflating mat.
I got the fire box going so I could boil some water for a coffee and while that was heating up I unpacked some more gear and collected some wood for my fire.
I took a bag of split wood in with me which put me a head of the game.
Id already had my Sunday dinner but I was starting to get hungry so I eat the sandwiches that I had packed,had a nice cuppa and the collected some more wood.
So now my camp was set up and Id had some food and a coffee I chilled out in my hammock for 45 minutes.
View from my hammock.
Hammock.
Firebox.
Then I went for a walk about.
I found some old dried up puffball fungi,you can see all the brown spores.
Lots of bluebells.
Nettles,Ive made soup in the past with nettles.
Lords & Ladies[arum maculatum]
Standing dead wood that a woodpecker has been busy chopping at.
Don't know who lives here,probably a wood sprite.
woods.
Fire wood I had propped up against a tree from the previous year I had spent in theses woods.
Found some flint and tested it with my knife and got some sparks.
It started to get a little cold after sun down so I got my fire going for the night.
