Dark Mountain Camp Day Three - Explorations and Building May 27, 2010

Quite a busy day yesterday, A group of us went up to see the Castle Ruins (Dinas Bran) which was a long walk up the hills. The vista was beautiful, seeing the ruins, though slightly disturbed by a council worker with a leaf blower who appeared as soon as we reached the summit. It was great to see the landscape from the castle hill top, including the campsite and the pavilion, such a rewarding walk. We also on the way back managed to get some eggs from an honesty box.

In the afternoon, Paul Kingsnorth arrived and we also finally got on with the building of the Hexayurt. The techniques being used is a bit of an innovation on the campers part, as it's only a temporary structure, we're sewing the thin boards together. The build should be completed by today and I have video to upload later on.
