Lol... Practice makes perfect, as they say.  A few more hammock camps and you'll be hanging it like a pro!  Didn't Redleader put that up for you  ???

What an awesome night. Apart from having to lug a couple of dozen kilos of food and cookwear, it was an all around blast. The Ham Hock was lovely, Andy was round the fire like a whirling dervish with a wooden spoon! Desert was lovely too, apple and
cherry pie from Glenn B. Even the rain wasn't too bad, light for a couple of hours and lovely from then on, didn't even need the down jacket.

Nice one all, think this might have to become another camping fixture!

Looks fantastic guys.  You really pulled out all the stops and put on a good show as always.

The ham on the grill looks delicious, great effort.

The thoughts of sleeping on Dowser's stretcher/hammock terrifies me.

Did he fall out?  Looks like he left a bit of chest hair on that stump.

Ahhhh, that explains the bald patch on my chest this morning... I thought I had just been gnawed on by a passing fox in my inebriated sleep  :D

Surprisingly, that is my second night on that death trap, with no major incidents to report.  I think your body goes into some sort of subliminal, self preserving, survival mode once your asleep, as it knows that your gonna break your neck if you fall out of that G-String :o

I was keen to let my daughter experience hammock camping so I let her use my TW Hammock.  With Aimée enjoying the comfort and safety of the TW Hammock I had considered settling for a bivvy but with the camp entitled the Ham Hock Hammock I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Therefore I braved the Sky Hammock yet again and survived to tell the tale.

sincere thanks to Dowser etc for a delicious meal and all your hard work preparing it. I dipped out early as Matthew was getting cold in the tent, but woke at 1am asking where his dinner was!
Thanks again, we will be back, hopefully in more child-friendly weather
