Mamsith,

Wow! Fantastic. I completed my Silver award in october, 3 days walking on dartmoor. I'm thinking of continuing to do Gold in the lake district next year.

Thats not Holmsley camp site is it??? If so, me and some friends went there for a few nights in the summer. LOL got kicked out after 3 because its a 'family' site, :ahem: which meant what we had planned wasnt really going down very well

1st shot is a beauty

Yes it was Holmsley Campsite,

Talking off getting kicked out we were on the edge...

at 12:00 are tents were pulled down and we didn't know who it was? we ran out are tents as quickly as we could swearing are heads off (I hate to admit) but we didn't see them...so every one went back to bed and left their tents open slightly so they could get out quickly, but I stayed out with a maglight and knife ready to catch however it was...

I was crouching down in the shadows about 10m from our tents when I saw 3 guys crawling on their stomachs to wards us they could see me...then I stud-up and turn the torch on in their direction...and shouted Oiiiii....%$

ha small world...

that sounds really wierd, glad you got em' tho

We kept getting apprehended out there as well, mainly by wardens... worst time was when we were out in the forest by the river having a little fire and some drinks...guess who roles in... the ARMY! aghhhhh lol Bribed them with some sausages from the bbq and all was cool tho...turns out we were on the tank range or something!

The army were out on Dartmoor when i did my Silver. We kept getting buzzed by an army lynx.
