Group A Bushcraft

The constant rain dampened our fire but not our spirits in the group A morning bushcraft session. Competition to build the best shelter was fierce, with the end result being 3 very different but equally marvellous creations. None quite so splendid as Mr C's effort of yesterday though.......

With shelters complete, attention was turned to starting fires. Unfortunately, while everyone managed to create plenty of sparks with their flint & steel, everything was far too soaked for effective fire starting. No matter, we had our original campfire still burning strongly and despite a minor flour related mishap the whole group were soon cooking their dough balls and tucking in to whatever remained on the sticks. We found the added moss gave a nice tangy flavour. Surprisingly, nobody was too full from their campfire cooking and everybody managed a nice big lunch (having changed into dry waterproofs).
