N.I.B.A camp cookery dat in Febuary
« on: May 18, 2009 »

A group of us from Up North got together and had a Cookery Day. Here's some pictures.


the scene that greeted us. Cold and Snowy




First thing we did was dig a pit oven, light a fire in it and stack more wood and stones on top, ready for a leg of lamb.




We covered the pit with hazel sticks, moss and earth to seal it all in.




We then got a stew of pheasent, carrot, potato and onion on the go.




We then put a chicken on to roast




And panassed a trout and put this over the fire as well.




By the time we had finished all this, it was time to open the pit oven




And then have the roasted lamb with Bannok.




Then it was pack up time and off home. A great day was had by all. the food was fantastic by the way, and no, no-one got ill, lol.

That looks like it was an excellent day - where was it? I'm sure that the warm food was tasted even better since it was obviously so cold out..

It was at Cairnwood in Graigantlet, Everything was nice but the Lamb was out of this world, it was cooked to perfection in the pit oven.

I thought Cairnwood was a no fires spot and small enough that if you lit a small one (safely and carefully!) you'd be bound to get spotted?

We have a special permission. We also opperate a "leave no trace" policy. You wouldn't know we had even been there.

I have special permission from the ranger for Cairn Wood and there is a no fire policy, and like Celt has mentiohed we operate a no trace policy, the ranger has seen this and is happy enough for me to be there, as it is he know's me personaly and would not tolerate this from any body else unless you can approach and let him see that you follow the same rule's as myself.
I phone him to let him know that I will be there and he might pop round for a brew when he's on his round's.
like I said he is approachable if you want to get permission from him.

I'm happy enough to ride on the coat tails of someone else that has permission, I'm very new to bushcrraft and wouldn't really be experienced enough yet to persuade rangers that I was responsible :)

I can imagine that the Cairnwood Ranger has his work cut out what with all the Sunday nighters on the mess. I was up there over new year doing some Geocaching and there was a burnt out car in the car park...

That does not happen very often, but I know what you mean about the Sunday night club and the mess they leave.
If you want to get up there sometime let me know I would be happy to show you round the forest and what resource's it has to offer.
