Kingswood 2014 2


Camp fire enjoyment!
 
 
Starting Jacob's Ladder - all harnessed up and ready to go!
Getting higher...
 
 

 
...and higher!  Several children got right to the top!
 
 
One more to go!
 
 
It wasn't all about activities - the kids made their own entertainment - in this one - pulling off socks with teeth!  Bearing in mind how dirty and smelly everyone got, I would not to do this!
 
 
Hugging a tree before Bushcraft!

 
Stu (or the lady with a beard as the kids nicknamed him - why, I don't know!), instructing us about safe plants to eat, plants to use as medication and plants that are dangerous to humans.  The kids were enthralled and talked about it for hours afterwards!
 
 
As part of Bushcraft we learnt how to make a shelter - just starting!

 
Almost finished result - it just needs covering with branches to make it waterproof - we didn't go that far as we didn't want to destroy the environment.
 
 
Bushcraft again - this time being taught how to make a fire.
 
 
It was hard work but we all managed to create an ember - the first stage in fire!
 
More to follow in Kingswood 3!
