A bit more bushcrafty today... practiced fire building and foraging. Got about 15 mussels easily - they were thick on the ground!

Mussels Cooking, tried about 12 in the boiling way and experimented with 3 in the "put it in the goddamn fire" way, the latter is my new favourite had a much nicer smokey flavour. Notice the windblock from stacked sand/stones. Wind kept blowing it out.

Thanks for sharing some lovely photos, like your wind break!

Thanks to your link you also showed me that Google Maps can do "Terrain" now with contour lines and gives you heights and everything! Brilliant stuff :)
