Night Out : Noahs First Night Under Tarp

Once again Noah and myself attended the September meet at White Rose woods near Towcester with plans for it to be Noah's first night under tarp (the Vango Banshee 300 went along in the car in case Noah felt uncomfortable without the security of being in a tent)

I set up the tarp in a flying diamond configuration close to the communal fire pit, this way I would be close enough to hear him if there were any issues. 

Alex managed to get two rabbits during the day and demo his method for preparing the rabbit for the stew.  Noah watched with interest on what was happening, however he did not want to try the stew later.
I took the bow along with me for some practice and set up a target a safe distance away, after a while I was getting some nice clusters.
Anyone who wanted to have a go on the bow did, however not every one listened to instruction and preferred to come up with their own method of firing the bow.

Though out the day I spent time with Noah under our tarp and he seemed pretty comfortable with the idea of sleeping under the tarp.  We sat around the campfire for most of the night and Noah soon started to fall asleep after some hot chocolate.

Noah got into his sleeping bag and soon feel off to sleep.
Throughout the evening I checked on Noah several times, placing him back on to his sleeping mat after rolling off.

In the morning we both woke up early, Noah had a great nights sleep and woke up happy, especially when we were visited by one of the fellow campers dog.
Its moments like this where I really want a bushdog for myself. 
It was a very successful night out in the woods and Noah enjoyed his time in the woods.  Now we are both looking forward to the next night out.
