Well managed to get out for a quick solo, the weather forecast was dry cool so it was hammock time, having sold my UQ a while back I improvised, as seen in the pictures I turned 1 part of my Canadian forces sleeping system into a cocoon, worked well enough but needs a quick easy mod for a fortnights time ( when I'm meant to be there next )

So, I arrived after a stressful morning to peace.

Picked a spot and made camp

Night time temps were meant to be getting chilly so I made a small upside down fire just for effect

I had eaten a couple of venison steaks when I first got there, sorry, no pics were taken during this pig fest ;)

Second tea was my go to meal now, pasta and sauce with dried bacon mixed in, starter main and dessert all in 1 photo :D

I don't like cutting limbs if I don't have to just to make a bush chair, even though Hazel does benefit from a pruning, or so I'm led to believe ? So I adapted, bush chair MK11

It was from here that I sat and drank, ate my meals, very comfy, so much so that I managed to lay out on it lol

So the fire was entertainment, short and sweet, I had already planned on an early night so once the fire had burned away I did just that, crawled into bed

Short trip, there are a few more pics but I thought you'll get the gist, thanks for looking :)

It is a great spot I like how they put up fire pits for the campers, nice touch :) had a very chilled out afternoon night and morning, back to the madness that is 'normal' life now though lmao :D
 
LOL, yeah I have one, there wasn't rain forecast so I didn't bother covering up, thanks for the thought though :)
