Pictures from the Tipi Pitching Party


See Malous pictures from the Tipi Pitching Party . The day was great fun with lots of food being shared and then the hard work starting on full tummies. As predicted the helpers divided into two distinct camps. The worker bees and the wine drinking ones who laughed and pointed. The gold star of the day definately went to Pieter and his efforts at chopsticking the thing together as well as Counselor Katy Austins brilliant work as crew chief. THe worker bees were fantastic and we were impressed that nothing had to be redone and it only took us about 3 hours to pull it off! Yeah team!


That night Sam, Brucesonam, and Bob and I cristened the tent with the first bare ground tipi sleeping party. It was good fun and much warmer than expected but I think the next time I put my aging body in there, I will have a cushion and ear plugs (the wind picked up around 0400 and it became noisier than I was used to sleeping with, and of course the roosters thought it was a nifty new thing to crow at around 0500).

All and all a brilliant success though!
The tipi will be available for activities and can be booked out for organic birthday parties in the Summer time.
