Bit of gourmet dining in the woods on their spring forager.

**Shewie** · 02-05-2012, 19:04

I'll be packing and panic buying food and toys before a big trip, I also need to get the girls together and go through our route with them.

**lannyman8** · 02-05-2012, 19:53

Im having a bash in with a mate, going to try our hand at some Damascus Steel.....

**Hammock Hamster** · 02-05-2012, 20:11

I will be non compos mentis from Friday to Sunday owing to a mates stag do down in brighton then spending the Monday, hangover/recovery permitting having a bimble in the local woods with the missus.

**Imagedude** · 02-05-2012, 20:17

**Bushcraftsman** · 02-05-2012, 20:31

Finishing off making the handle for my knife. Collecting my kayak. And getting on the lake for the first time on Monday

**Teepee** · 02-05-2012, 20:33

Either stealth camping sat and sun night whilst working the days, or going to survey a job in the Peaks before heading up bogtrotting on Kinder Scout.

I wanted to have a long paddle on the nene but its in flood and quite dodgy.

**greenwood** · 02-05-2012, 20:35

Pub Friday night with mate,Saturday walking dogs first thing then depending on head, cutting grass and gardening (whist looking after and entertaining my 8 year old), then cleaning mine and hers cars afternoon, different pub Saturday night with another mate, Sunday lie in? don't know? depends if the family have other ideals !! possible pub with wife and or family, Monday helping out at school may fair (apparently I'm on the door- you now how 8 year olds get LOL).
Oh and in process of stripping and repainting a new bike for said boy

**mrcairney** · 02-05-2012, 20:37

Lannyman is coming over the Pennines and we're going to cause trouble in my allotment with fire and metal.

**Prawnster** · 02-05-2012, 20:41

Meeting up with my brother on Friday for the first time in about two years, even though he only lives five minutes away (long story).

Take the kids out for a walk Saturday before settling down to watch Liverpool thrash Chelsea in the cup final. I'm an optimist as you can tell.

At some point I'd like to peruse a camping/outdoor shop to get some bits for a little trip coming up. My daughter's first overnighter with me and her older brother.

That's about it. Hope everyone has a good one!

Sent from whatever the coolest gadget is these days.

Looking after my mother-in-law's farm as she's been taken into hospital (nothing too serious, we hope). And if I get lucky, find a bit of time to cut some wood or work on my hobbit froe.
