I'm in the middle of packing up and getting my kit organised for a fishing trip and camp out with a buddy on the cliff tops at a classified location on Anglesey.:bandit:
Any one else got plans for the weekend? Where you off to then?:cool:
I'm on a canoeing/bushy/hunting course this weekend up in North Yorks. Just need to grab a few bits of food from Morrisons tonight and I'm ready to go. :approve:
Hopefully spend both days out playing with toy helis and trying out different fire lighting methods for my ghillie kettle.
im going for a paddle down the river hamble, and a camp out by the river. should be lovely.

Don't worry I'll post some pics up of the adventure and I'm sure a few others will as well.
Shewie's weekend is my fave so far.

Sorting/packing my kit this weekend for a trip to Cairngorms next Wednesday,Thurs,Fri.
(was meant to be Glen Coe but a Bothy in Cairngorms now as ive never been there before)
Maybe get some cycling done on Saturday.
Joint camp with the Cubs & Scouts.:D
Sadly, have just found out that the camp site are having a Beaver Fun Day on Saturday so there will be thousands of screaming little people:eek:

Going fishing for first light this weekend, I'm gonna be tired, it get light so early these days :(
I was going to take a walk into Donard Forest in the Mournes to check out possible camping spots. Unfortunately a 100 acre (possibly malicious) fire may have scuppered my plans. If anyone has any details let me know.

I'm going to my first scouts meeting (i'm possibly going to become an assistant leader) and then going geocaching with a friend of mine tomorrow - in the pouring rain if today is anything to go by!! :lmao:

I've got 20 litres of hefeweizen to either bottle (which means de-labelling and cleaning a whole bunch of bottles) or move into a secondary fermenter, lots of weeding and potting up to do at the allotment, and I need to brew another batch of pale ale... Oh, and I really need to do the washing up sometime! ;)
No wonder I never seem to have enough time to read books... I've got at least half a dozen sitting waiting.

If Silver Bay's occupied when you get there, just keep going up the east shore there's loads of spots about below the footpath. Are you in tents or hammocks ?

Me and the missus are hoping to get out and climb a mountain proper for the first time together this year, which is no doubt why so much blummen rain is forecast after the beautiful weather we have had here. We get scuppered every time so here's hoping...
I'm on call from this morning for a week so that limits things. SWMBO is doing the Race for Life on Sunday so that's Sundy out, so tomorrow is to be used sorting my kit out ready for the 2 day tracking course next weekend!
I'm going to find a dark sweaty room to rave in tonight. I've had enough of the outdoors after 12 days of work on the trot with most of it too hot. :o
