Stormbringer

We've had quite a few storms recently and they're causing even more widowmakers and hung ups..



These were down when we went out yesterday, always look up and around, be careful where you set camp and take precautions.
Let's be careful out there.

The perils of widowmakers

How many times have we heard the old adage, before you sit down - look up!
Of course on the day you get complacent is the day something will happen. Rotten trees and storms don't mix and if you happen to be in the vicinity of a widowmaker.... this can happen lol.


The thing that ticked me off the most was that we'd only been there 20 minutes.
Anyway, pack back on and a long march out of the woods and a trip to hospital.


Nothing that a few stitches couldn't fix and a story to be told around future campfires, no doubt it will be embellished with each telling !
