A few of us decided to stay out at the weekend. It was a time to meet up with friends old and new and have a bit of craic. It was a nice relaxing weekend but we still managed to practice some skills. We did some carving work and a burnt out wooden cup and a couple of impressive flutes appeared. We had a forage on the sea shore, and a forage on the land gathering limpets, Ramsons (wild Garlic) hogweed and sorrel for our dinner. We set some night lines for fish and put in a tap for some birch sap which would hopefully be the makings of our breakfast the next morning. We also did some flint knapping. It was a really enjoyable weekend made especially good by the company and a lot of laughter emanated from our camp as the stories flew. Here are a few of the picts we took enjoy!

Being the old geezer I am (and long married and domesticated), I'm just an armchair camper anymore. It looks like a good time, though.
