Cool camp pictures, Martin! I see a couple of nice sheepherder stoves, I like the looks of the cylinder one. As always, I can expect great grub pics from your meets. Nice drinkin' noggin Martin and I see you are putting your Norwegian shiney (kettle) to good use. Thanks for posting the pictures of the meet!

Nice and light so it's east to carry, needs a bit more welly as a result but very capable indeed.
Looks like a great meet guys, thanks for sharing the photos. Must make an effort to get to one of these

Yup, it's made me want one now:rolleyes:
What sleeping bag have you got now Cliff? Certainly looks warm! Thanks for sharing the pics, that fire burned a treat! Thanks to everybody for the group effort with it, there was plenty of involvement that can't be seen in a few pictures. I've got a couple pics on my phone of the lack of aftermath from it I'll put up tonight.
