Getting ready for another week of bushcraft club, I arrived at Darrens house early, Craig was away with other commitments so Darren and I said we would run this week, Darren drove to the school and we checked out the area for the class as it was a glorious sunny day, either in the wooded area or over to the benches, upon checking the benched area was nice and shaded surrounded by trees.
Once we collected all the kids we showed them that we were making cobra stitch survival bracelets, we had 45 kids this week and after Darren demonstrated how to make them with me talking through it we let them have a go, the next hour was extremely hectic, with Darren and I starting off and helping nearly everyone, a few of the kids got the hang of it quickly and they helped out as well so by the end of the club nearly everyone had a bracelet and those few that had not had friends that would help them during the week.
On the way home Darren and I chatted we will arrange with Craig to get out for a personal overnighter away from kids, Craig rang us and told us that he had received an email from the school they had said today had gone very well.
Happy with that.
Back at Darrens I jumped into my car to drive for some other work, about half way a knocking noise started from the engine, then BOOM my exhaust blew out and tons of smoke started to billow out, I pulled over to the hard shoulder and the engine was definitely not happy steaming and smoking away.
I turned off the engine, the car was dead, 4 hours later my father in law dropped me home. Will have to have the next few months without a car, until work picks back up.
