How to.... make a firefork (for a sausage sizzle)
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/content.php?r=449-How-to-Make-a-Fire-Fork!-Tutorial
We popped this up on the blog, but it's permanent home is here, as slighly pointy stick is simple enough to jam a sausage on & cook it (under supervision) when we are at Copley or other camps,
This holds it at 2 points (more securely) ..or roast 2 marshmallows at a time.
A brilliantly simple camp accessory for those times spent round the campfire
Is there a badge for this? ..if not why not!?
Thanks to the clever folk at bushcraftuk.com a great resource from outdoor experts!

Polypropylene / Tritan cutlery such as sporks & the guyot listed below are allowed on planes ( & are better than cutlery provided) perfect for Beaver / cub camps & day to day home use.

To me, these are better than sporks (which I carry as well) ..as unlike a spork you can spread butter, fillings etc onto bread without destroying it, ..also srerves as a great spatula for frying pan use, if you are the camp chef cooking for others this may well be the kit for you.

Geo-caching ...in RAMSEY ??? ..YES
Parents & carers ...try your hand at Geo-caching whilst out with your youngster, local & inexpensive ..worth a look & yes we DO have Geo-cache sites in & around Ramsey....Geocaching is a global phenomenon, a hi-tech treasure hunt for the adventurous, using GPS devices (Global Positioning Systems - the technology used in satnavs).
if you've got a modern(ish) mobile phone or a car sat-nav then you are fully equipped to get up, out & find that cache! ..paper maps work well too!
The idea is to locate containers, called geocaches, hidden somewhere in the great outdoors and then share your experiences online.
Think about it - when was the last time you got a little breathless? When did you last feel a tiny rush of adrenaline? When did you last ditch the remote control for the remote (& not so remote) wilderness?
It's time for a little adventure, A little fun, A little action, ..It's time to let your inner Indiana Jones loose.

Duxford I.w.m. (cambridge)
http://www.tpyf.com/upload/pdf/CubsAirActivitiesBadge.pdf
As a prominent cub visit in 2013 (& a fine opportunity to earn a badge)!
Duxford needn't be thought of as an expensive day out! ..why? because children under 16 years old GO FREE! ..2013 regular day entry is £17.50 (so why not get together with friends for a duxford day out whilst some of the adults enjoy time off in Cambridge?
Duxford has oodles of planes, tanks, ships, & a special american u.s.a.f. hangar dedicated to our visiting forces, ...lots to see so start the day early!
It's not just tanks, shipsn' planes ..Duxford's location was very important to turning the tide of the second world war from aerial attack, providing lots of cover to exhausted southern based crews, even back then Duxford (as a home for fighter planes) could cover bombing raids or defend against attacks on London & the south coast, in a fast plane such as the Spitfire & Hurricanes they were able to be everywhere at once.
Lots of historic documents, film footage, photos & spoken word recollections of those who served from the 1st world war through to the Falklands conflict & more recent times.
Definitely worth a few visits! ..especially on flying days or living history week-ends when it gets busy, ..but don't forget Ramsey has it's own special 1940's weekend including planes too, so make time for both if you can.

Natural england (with reserves on our doorstep)
http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/designatedareas/nnr/regions/east.aspx
East of England has 47 National Nature Reserves across six counties.
Each region has an outstanding variety of wildlife habitats and the best examples of these are protected as National Nature Reserves.
Visitors are welcome on our NNRs because we want people to experience and appreciate these wonderful places. NNRs are open all year round, all ages are welcome and entry is free. Many of the reserves have a programme of events, often designed around seasonal highlights.
Our local reserves are...
Holme Fen: the lowest point in Britain, lying at the most westerly end of the East Anglian fens on the shore of the former Whittlesey Mere. Monks Wood ..one of the best examples of ancient ash-oak woodland in the East Midlands.
Upwood Meadows
Wicken Fen
Woodwalton Fen: lies at the lowest and most westerly part of the East Anglian fens. The area was dug for peat until the 1920s after which scrub invaded most of the site.
