2010 photos wanted - so please post! As we say well done and thanks to all who made 2010 special. Why not follow the male warriors that live and hunt in and around Rocklands. Oh and of course the decorative females.......... (who spend time hunting raddish).... whilst the men folk hunt critters or collect "fresh - (ish)" roadkill for the kids. The venue for 2011 is at the Goods - bring on the roadkill and follow the build up to the "Good Life" Hunter Gatherer Party in 2011!

Body sections
There is much tucker dotted around in the freezers of Rocklands so if people are needed chunks of eddible matter then just yell and collect for your own preparation.
Cooking methods and items needed
As the event is getting closer....
Can we indicate what methods of cooking anyone is intending to try?
Obviously, cooking at home is one option - but this may mean we need to keep some things warm.
Cooking with fire and bbqs is also an option... but we may need several bbqs or large pans etc..
I'll start a list on the right hand side of the blog entitled COOKING ITEMS / IDEAS . Please list any utensils you can bring for cooking and keeping things warm....
Slow cookers, hostess, bbq, firepits, brassiers etc

You keep on knocking, but you can't come in....
With the wabbits on strike we like the Flying Solo also drew a saddening score. In fact Flying Solo did better than the wabbit men of the east!
The wabbit men of the east however, did not stop until a grand total of several ducks and pigeons were dispatched!
Please note no animals were harmed or injured during the dispatch process.
Well done all including Flying Solo! A good effort and we are certainly able to hold our heads high.
Unlike the trout, who we should perhaps shoot as a matter of course, given their dislike of Flying Solos hook!

Just some of tonights dispatch

The Final Result
Unfortunately I have bought dishonour upon the hunter gatherer tribe. Sore feet, an aching back, blisters on my right hand (from casting!!) and one lonely trout in the fridge...A fine specimen did grace my net this alvo, however being of the spotted brown variety had to be returned alive and not bashed on the head! So without enough trout to give everyone a healthy portion I will be offering a small amount of trout pate instead....
In light of todays events I feel it inappropriate that I should be known in the future as the Flying Fisherman, perhaps you could come up with some suggestions--Flying________?
Monday update.
Happy to do wabbiting tonight at Bungay - and can probably be there for 8pm. I have the Roadblock rifle too.
However, one reasonably-sized skinned/gutted - and humanely culled - Muntjac was bartered from a friend in Ellingham and this is now in the Roebuck barn. Shot on Friday and is well-covered so won't be frozen between now and HGs.

The Tally so far....Down the Mere
Only one in the net so far....home for lunch returning shortly with a new strategy. Optimistic a few more will succumb to my dry fly or bobby dazzler this afternoon.
Wabbit War - Armageddon time in Bungay
Just a quicky, tonight is a possible for wabbits at bungay. To get there takes 45 mins.
Who can make this eve? If we go tonight....
At what time can people arrive in Bungay - or be ready to leave Rocklands?

Jammin - comments welcomed youzlot...
Following last years tribal drum session....
I wondered if we might have a jammin session of some sort, or a small competition....
My thought which is as always a drifting one, was that (try to keep up)
I just spent 30 mins trying to play "Happy Birthday"
on my electrosonic damp detector...
(practicing for Steves 21st)
- gave up at 31 mins
self suggestion
scales...
yes practice
scales
then I can play anything
electrosonic damp detectors are not the only odd instruments around
perhaps
we all might invent more
then add a prestigeous award for the oddest
and given enough wierd as hell instruments
we could have some tunefull fun
Melodius and inventive
which nicely is anagram
Um a deviled inventions
Well I thought so... anyway
What say all youzlot?

Is this a wicked thought - just click here on the post title
Perhaps we could have a fantastically large chicken stew?
We Meat Again
Another willing victim, collected by ChrisA. Disturbingly Duncan turned up limping like Frankensteins monster after a karate bout in wellies, clad in pristine labcoat, and sporting a lamp on his head. It all brings to mind The League of Gentlemen .
He left with extra stains...we are getting a little too good at this.
