By today’s session leader:
This uphill trek was a workout before we had even started working:
Your leader had an excuse to lag behind, to sweep up the late-comer,
who’d had to return home to get his boots.
Not quite as daft as coming with two left boots, as I did once! [Ed: nor
as daft as turning up with boots, but without any thick socks to wear with
them, which is what I did on one occasion, also at Aston Rowant, for a scrub bash.]
Alas, that is far as C was able
to get with uploading the session leader’s photo-montage report before Google+
reported in sick. Apparently it can’t
cope with more than one pic at a time. Website
users, you will just have to take it from me that there were photos
illustrating:
- Exemplary use of slasher and billhook, saw and loppers
- How to light a fire with kindling (in North America called ‘fatwood’ or ‘lightwood’) – a first outing for the new WGG fire-box, so successful (courtesy of remnants of Hurricane Clodagh) that the stokers were rapidly calling for more brash to pile on
- Delights of tea-break – first outing for another “new toy in our kit”, a whistle, to summon workers for delicious home-made fruit-bread and lemon-drizzle, lavish supplies of (enough for two slices each and more)
