After going to the quacks earlier in the week the stronger anti-inflamitories and pain killers gave me the confidence to go further.
I picked up Mo (whom I had met through YouTube) and we went to Thornden Woods, its been teeming down here for ages now, the pathways were flooded out, so we bushwacked through taking a very wobbly route in.
I planned on doing some more flint knapping and possibly making a bow, but with all the extra walking ran out of time, Mo asked lots of questions about the wood and vairious thing in it, I was quite suprised at how much I knew.
A couple of things of note, the amount of water has created some new streams and ponds, I will be interested to see how quickly they dissappear when it dries out, also and definitely the most astonishing to me, the wood ants seem to have gone and been gone for some time, with sign of rabbits etc using them for toilets, so temperature does not affect them (I've been when it's been -10, snowing and they have still been active) but tons of water does.
Mo then made his first fire in the woods, taking some pointers from me (he was as happy as a pig in s**te, it reminded me of doing this with PDF).
Rather than trying to follow out the flooded path we followed the stream out to the road.
