So, the time had come to load up and go and collect kneef
All loaded up we headed up the road to collect Dick and were then on our way to the site. total traveling time for us was around 4 hrs so not too bad.
we got to site, and Paul was there waiting for us along with mike and his trusty tractor.
we hitched my trailer onto the tractor and the kit was transported to the top of the site
next few hrs were spent setting up the tents and getting kit stowed .
myself and kneef had some nice burgers for tea and we all went to sit around the fire for a few hrs drinking mikes cider .
I retired to my pit fairly early as was a tad knackered. the other guys stayed up yapping around the fire.
the following day we spent a few hrs sorting out or stove jacks in the tents in readiness for the trip to Aviemore.
I must say there were a few tense moments as i cut a hole in my perfectly good tent but i needn't have stressed as it all went like clockwork.
The next day was a day for me to try and sort the zero out on my new to me rifle after many hours farting around i decided to stop and put it away for another day as i was at the point of snapping it in half .
spent another evening sat around the fire putting the world to rites
Next day had another look at the rifle with fresh eyes and in the end managed to get it shooting as i was hoping it was going to
rifle sorted it was time to get the bow out and have a play (thanks Paul for making a string for me) fired of a few arrows to promptly loose 3 in the long grass
Mike and Paul went down after and found 2 for me so all were not lost
The meal cooking was split between me and kneef and we had some nice scran while we were away (pictures posted above in this thread).
Myself and kneef went for a wander into town a couple times to get some burgers and bread rolls as we had run out of fresh stuff.
Picked up a few fridge magnets for the misses
There was plenty going on at the meet but I will leave the guys who took part in the activities to explain all
We were very lucky with the weather as most of the rain came during the dark hours, so it didn't dampen the spirits
Pack up day came around to soon and we were soon on the road heading home
Would like to thank the guys who turned up for their donations in keeping the forum running
Would also like to thank mike for letting us use the land for the meet and I look forward to the next spring meet
Thats it from me as all pictures i took while at the meet were posted directly on this thread.
till the next one guys
