WARNING this video is as funny as a big bag of funny stuff. Don't watch it with a mouthful of coffee. You have been warned
The back story is this, the rope bridge and swings where set up for the kids, which they managed all day with no problem... but this is what happens when the big boys decide to play.

I find it hard to believe that there are no takers/comments.

Not even a titter about the video... did any of the hundred or so people that have checked out the thread even look at the video? It's worth a look honest

Great photo's and loved the SAS training video...!

I'm looking for the chance to get down to Ivan's place, I've been following the plot since Ivan first introduced himself on the forum but timings never been great and it's a bit of a jaunt from Wales but I will get there soon. Not sure I can make Whit bank holiday weekend due to other commitments (have to miss my own Wales mini-meet in May now...! and I had to miss the RV as well) but from June I'm much more of a free agent and will be taking up the next opportunity after then.

Not to worry Ben, I know you want to get down there, and are hoping to get there for the Ten Tors event Martin is sorting.

Should be a mini meet in june for the above mentioned Ten Tors challenge. Hopefully see you there mate, if you manage to get some free time.

Hope you can make it bud, it's always a great get together, whether you want to be bushcrafty or just a little wild camping with a great bunch of guys n gals.

I might see you there then mate. I heard pretty much the same sort of things as you, even heard tell of some strange liquids made from apples, that can have odd effects on those who dare drink it. I was actually thinking of inviting you myself. It should be a good time, if not I might follow you back to your's.
