Right less chatter more down to earth, tasks at hand so to speak. Reading the stuff and seeing pics/films of who to do things is great, but i need to educate my cold wrinkly brain. I am wanting to continue learning knots etc, make more than just sticks from wood and I plan to do some Falconary this year too, if I can find someone locally. My colds nearly gone and Im heading of tomorrow for a walk from Claxton to Reedham, along Wherrymans way. Hopefully find somewhere suitable to camp later in the year.

Noooooo!!!!!

More chatter, please!

I'm just off to the local woods with my son, he want's to build a "secret hideout/den "i think!

**KevB** · 30-12-2008, 09:55

Anyone intending to come on a wee wander around Dunwich on Sunday 4th or Saturday 10th?

**Snufkin** · 30-12-2008, 18:38

Saturday 10th is good for me!

just thought of another New years resolution!

More Bushcraft!

**Globetrotter.uk** · 02-01-2009, 09:45

The 10th is fine with me, are we car sharing,I need a lift. What time are we leaving etc

**lord lurcher** · 02-01-2009, 18:46

I can do the 10th, i'm easy as to times etc

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 02-01-2009, 21:16

Hi again,
Just come back from a family get together in the fenns, very cold, one of the rivers we drive alongside for miles was totally frozen over!

can't believe it apples still on the trees!
I think I'm going to be more adventurous food wise this year so if you have any bush tucker to try i may just take you up on it! (probly!

)

just reading a book by bear grylls, and to be fair he is a nutter, but he also comes out with alot of sense about food scavenging (no i won't eat raw zebra!)

apart from the mental stuff he does he seems to have his head screwed on!

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 04-01-2009, 20:41

Hi could we have an idea of anyone else intending to meet up next Saturday 10th, i can sort a lift from Norwich, anyone else interested?

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 05-01-2009, 19:09

Hi again,

so far the next saturday meet (10th) looks like its going to be
Kev B
Me
Lord lurcher (thanks for the PM)
and Globetrotter

anyone else wanting to join us need to tell us ASAP so we can organise transport.

Same as usual bring what you want as Kev B said but again we stress no open fires!

i'll bring along my new Parachute so you guys can have a play.

Cheers
Rich

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 06-01-2009, 20:53

Hi again just a couple of photo's i took when i met up with globetrotter recently (before christmas)
Globetrotter (sitting) and me having a brew!

Here's my Parachute surprisingly difficult to deal with

And Globetrotters very well made brew kit:

anyone else want to come?
i spoke with Damascus today and he's still around but unfortunately suffering with the flu bug at present

, but would have liked to come along. we hope you get better soon!

**Damascus** · 08-01-2009, 17:25

Hi Rich

Hope this works with the photo experiment of its back to the drawing board, to everyone else I know its not to bushy but it was the first photo I had to hand..

regards

D

**Damascus** · 08-01-2009, 17:30

thanks

D

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 09-01-2009, 01:10

Hi guy's like the pic Damascus!

(is that a "J" stroke?)

just a reminder to get a full day out we'll have to get to Lowerstoft at 9:30 this Saturday
I'll pick up Lord lurcher around 8:15
and Globetrotter around 8:30 hope that's ok.
i reckon if the going's well it should take about an hour to get from Norwich to Lowerstoft.
(and pray the car works!

)

**lord lurcher** · 09-01-2009, 12:57

sorry guys just had some work come in i cant afford to turn down. i cant come tomorrow, but plse keep it up as i will beup for future events, thanks, hope tosee youall soon

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 09-01-2009, 20:30

No probs mate, I'm sure we all understand.

( how dodgy was that!

)

**Globetrotter.uk** · 10-01-2009, 08:15

I'm already for a good day in the woods with old and new friends, learning new stuff and exploring the countryside in the freezing weather.

**Globetrotter.uk** · 10-01-2009, 20:47

Well I had a great day, nice to meet you Kev and thanks for the lift. Cheers Richard too. Here's a couple of pics.

Muntjac

The lads

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 11-01-2009, 15:28

thanks everyone a great day out!

thanks to KevB for showing us the woods definitely up for meeting there again! it was a long way but worth it!

great picture of the muntjac globetrotter, i saw you look through your camera but didn't think you'd get a pic! (it was running fast a couple of hundred yards away!

I'm not sure the photos give justice to how @**&^%£$"£% freezing it was! i think we all got cold to some extent, (i did buy some de-icer screenwash on the way home!).

oops, got to go to the shops for milk.....

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 11-01-2009, 22:08

Hi back again (kids in bed)....aaaah, and relax!

I just sent a welcome PM to some new local guy's(or gals):
paintballvern, Tiger Eyes, bushtank, and wibble

I'm also going to send a PM to the other local guy's we've not heard from in a while.

Oh globetrotter i found my camera....

in my rucksack! (i thought i'd dropped it!)

KevB, how did your photo's come out? i think you had some nice group pics.

**KevB** · 12-01-2009, 21:26

Ok here's the intrepid band on Saturdays meetup. Not too sure about that guy on the left ! Nice to meet ya Globetrotter.
This was taken just before we changed into shorts and T's !

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 12-01-2009, 23:58

man do i look fat! (I'm on the right)

I should point out i was wearing a few layers of clothing!

anyone up for a meet in Feb near Norwich?

**KevB** · 13-01-2009, 11:15

Oh .... go on then.

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 13-01-2009, 13:19

There's a friend of mine that owns a small wood in south walsham, we might be able to use, I'm sure she woulden't mind us camping out, if you don't mind cooking on an open fire!

We may not be able to go there this time but I'll ask next time i see her.

any suggestions as to where to meet this time?

**lord lurcher** · 15-01-2009, 06:20

Sounds cool rich, just finished a job in south walsham, nice area. once had a job in my youth cutting broccoli! hottest summer for years 4.30 start in the morning by 9.30 some people were passing out or being sick from heat stroke!!!! sure we'll have no such shenannegans. Unfortunately i am now back to single status so meets etc should be no probs from now on, hope to see y'all soon and glad you had a good day

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 16-01-2009, 13:40

sorry to hear that mate, it must have been quite recent,
we're all here for you anyway

.

Snufkin PM'd me saying he has PC problems prehaps we could meet near him, prehaps in those woods we went to last year?

it's North Walsham woods (North of North walsham), mixed woodland it's where we built a Lean-to from fallen pine trees.

what say the people?

**KevB** · 16-01-2009, 16:52

Sounds OK to me - cant do 28th/29th Feb though.

**Snufkin** · 16-01-2009, 18:34

It's actually Bacton Woods on the OS map but it's near North Walsham. It gets really crowded on weekends though. We could luck out and it rains, in which case there won't be too many people around. Given a bit of notice I could get a Saturday off (pretty quiet this time of year and I've a few days of holiday left).

**RAPPLEBY2000** · 16-01-2009, 20:25

oops!

It's actually Bacton Woods on the OS map but it's near North Walsham.

thinking about it it's reallyclose to bacton! lol

shall we try to meet on a week day say a Friday so others that work weekends can meet us?

we could even have 2 meets.
