After several years of trying to get a local permission for overnighters and general bushcraft activities it has finally happened.
Recently my brothers friend Dave has started joining us out camping, over a camp fire chat he mentioned he does some work for a guy who has some woodland. After a few phone calls we got permission to use the woodland for what ever we wanted to do.
Turns out the guy owns 5 acres, but he wanted to confirm with another guy who owns the rest of the woods that it would be OK for use to be in the woods.
This week we got the green light.
Originally I was on a ban from nights out as my daughter was born only a few weeks ago, but with a bit of smooth talking SWMBO gave me the second green light of the week.
So 30 minutes later my brother Bev, Dave and myself were heading out to the woods.
Soon the tarps started to going up

As it was a late start to the day it soon became dark and dinner was cooked and eaten.
Firewood was plentiful, bearly having to move to get some.
For the rest of the night was camp fire TV and campfire discussion
The guys started some late night carving, I warned them to keep they eyes on their fingers as I left them too it, being a second time dad I was already tired.
6am I was up
And found my brother just about in his hammock (after feeling a bit restricted he made a late night adjustment)
I thought I better get back to my baby girl and mommy so packed up early and headed home, with strict instructions on how to deal with the remains of the fire.
Back to the cars (on a short walk due to getting to the woods late it didn't give much time to explore)
And I headed out
Stopping at Costa to get some croissant for SWMBO as a breakfast her letting me out on early parole for good behaviour.
