Work Away Blogs from Forest Gardens

The little shack in the mountains is coming along. When we first moved in really was little more than a wooden hut in a hole. It's becoming a well oiled machine every time I come a new system is in place that works brilliantly to keep it ticking over.

In the spring and autumn, Forest Gardens is advertised on the Work Away website, which invites a sharing culture of volunteers to exchange their skills and time for room and board. In this way each person that comes through the gate lends a hand with a project, and leaves an improving impression on this tiny square of the world. 

The people you meet are often embarking on impressive journeys, nomads across land under their own steam, bikes, motorbikes and even a VW camper. As a break from racking up the miles, they stop by for a visit and trade the tent for a mattress for as long as they need. 

Many of the travelers keep blogs for their family and friends to follow as they move around. It's nice to see their progress as they move on from us here. There's a visitor's book to fill out before they leave, and this is a collection of all of the people who have a left a blog for us to follow:

Cycle Touring. Adventure. Rain. Sun.
