Spitewinter Meet 11 - 13 Jun 2010- Very Picture Heavy

[MartinK9]

Once again, many thanks to shaggystu for organising this Meet:

The rain held off but, boy did the wind nip across the area. That would help everyone later when using the firebow

The tree canopy has really filled in now; giving yet another aspect to this site:

Saturday morning was meant to start with a Mountain man Breakfast, but I didn't bring nearly enough eggs ( 10 into a 12" DO is nowhere near) so an " all in one mess" topped with cheese was cooked instead:

To burn that lot off some wood chopping was required:

Chris showed off his walking sticks, the pictures don't do them justice:

Yep, the good old standby of full Lamb Roast in the Dutch Oven.

Thanks again to Stu for the shoulder of Lamb.

Addo arrived Saturday evening and managed to take four people through the Firebow:
