We are busy the next couple of weeks but after that we should be free for a couple of days out.
Maybe you can join us next time Junno and bring a camera along, we had planned to get some photos of the bannock making and Phil was going to make some char cloth but we had a downpour which put a damper on things.
Looking forward to getting out again so we will keep you posted when we can get out.
Glad you enjoyed it Neil and it was a pleasure spending time with you.
Davy.

I'm definately up for it. Just need some advance notice if it's not a family day or else I have an 11 year old that gets grumpy!

We will post here when we are next free, Shelter building and family days are no problem at all just let us know what you are looking to do and we will try our best to accommodate.
If you are free come to Carnfunnock on the 26th and say hello and maybe get a brew we will have a stall there.

Carnfunnock is a country park which has a caravan site and some designated walks around the area.
Its also expanded out to have some activities for kids/families at different times of the year.
I think my mate (who is a Scout leader) says that his troop meet there as well?

Here's their website:
