Shutz. At the moment we are free that weekend so I'll put it in the diary. Happy to take a passenger in our canoodle.Also I have a MASSIVE van so could conceivably bring some raft stuff if I can find any round Kendal. What sort of stuff would we need?Pallets I can get.Not sure what else. Could be fun. Simon When I die tell my wife to sell my knives for what they are worth : not what I told her I paid for them. Hi folks, sorry for the delay but been away (not really bushcrafty I'm afraid) Anyway I haven't got hold of the lad at work as he's off at the mo. So as time is a pressing and we could do with something finalising here we go...... I am planning on going to derwent water for an overnighter on the 12th (saturday night) with the canoe. Any takers (joely, plastic-ninja?). If forcast isn't too good for canoeing I plan to go to the campsite. I think the forcast on thursday will be good enough to make the call using xcweather. Good chance for tarping.. I will call the campsite to forewarn.... But depending on numbers there always the option of a quiet wild camp. Will be taking the carving gear and possibly a few little blanks (been thinking about a home made pyro tool that you heat in the fire as well), fire lighting stuff (will prep the polypore i've got) etc. The rafting idea seems
