Woods with Hugo

[Kepis]

Enjoyed a great day out up the woods with Hugo again today, we went back up to the spoon tree as we call it, few pics

Nice patch of Honesty, probably escaped from the adjacent allotments

The woods

Gorgeous Horse Chestnut flower

Our spot

Bit of a look round while we are waiting for the kettle to boil

Mr Badger and his mate

Watch out, Watch out, there is a Hugo about (searching for Pyrite)

Then i cooked us up a bit of treat for an early lunch, lightly fried bannock type thing, first one has some home made Damson Jam on it

second one has a some home made Blackberry jam on it

We had two each, but i was left with a bit of surplus dough, so i cooked it up, smothered it in the remaining Blackberry jam and cut it half

Then it was on to the serious issue of carving, Hugo wanted to carve a Medieval style spoon, so that's what we did, Hugo's on the bottom, mine on the top and one of Hugo's superb little whittlers for scale

Hugo's on the left, mine on the right

Then we figured we would pack away and go for a bimble through the woods

Where we found a rudimentary shelter that someone had started

and Hugo broke his Pyrite duck, yes folks, Hugo is no longer a pyrite virgin, his words, not mine

Bit further up the woods and time to climb up the slope

but the view is worth it

Past a massive fire scar left by the local kids

then down slope a bit and into the area that the mountain bikers use, anyone fancy coming off this jump?

then we headed down past the old rifle range, not used for many years now.

and through the small copse with the pond

before heading back to the cars.

Quality day out as normal, cheers mate.

Great pics, they've captured the fresh green of spring very well.

That whittler does look the business.

Thanks Prawnster, that's one of my creations.

Cheers Sean.

The Little Whittler works great, not only for carving as it's name suggests, but also as a neck knife, being a bit smaller than the norm, there is little weight around your neck, but the blade is still large and strong enough for lots of different tasks.
