No water on site, but I shall bring about 30 litres down with me which should keep us going for a while...........Bigman said:So it's on, good
There was a mention of 'no water' is there a standpipe from which a container can be filled?

Sorry Janie,

Will be up for it next year though. Love the costal bushcraft stuff.
'Tis very annoying and I am miffed in the extreme.

No water on site - it really is just a field!
Is anyone coming by train? No moby signal on beach so need a rough idea if you need a pick up.
Drivers - Turn left a mile from Looe bridge towards 'Talland' & 'Portloe'. Follow the lane for approx 2 miles, past a campsite & church (both on left) as you round the next corner there is a small free beach car park on left (mind your exhausts in that one tho) or continue a little further and you can park on the road. Look out for a BCUK sign pointing to camping field.
Can anyone bring a fire pit / large BBQ for use in the field?
Anyone up for spot of mackerelling? I'll call the dude tomorrow to loosely arrange it, so let me know if interested.
See you soon!!

Hi Janie........Re the fire pit, can we not just dig out some turf and then reinstate it when we put the fire out.
I am certainly up for the fishing trip, and I don't mind donating my catch either.
Getting excited now, nearly time for a long drive.
If anyone wants a lift or picking up on route, give me a shout...........

This is such a good idea for a meet up; I really hope it's a great success. I had planned to eat only what I foraged up here for the same time, but instead I'm off to Inverness for a wedding, a cruise on Loch Ness on the Jacobite Queen and an excuse to see if I can still fit into the bodice that goes with my arisaid probably ought to have done the wild food this week
We are watching however, to see the photos , and hear all about how you get on.
Have fun, best wishes,
Toddy

Yeah but, no but, yeah but, I will catch so many fish, I couldn't possibly eat them all, so I will have to donate...........janiepopps said:Umm Jon, dont think you'll be donating anything!!

enjoy all, have a great time and be careful out there. we want to hear all the stories when you get back.
Again I'm sorry about this, but we're really in trouble at work due to staff shortages and getting temps isn't an option as they need to do at least 2 weeks 'on the job' training to learn the 2 systems we use. (I'm at work now writing this ) I'm really gutted as I'd booked the time off and was really looking forward to it, but as I said my manager just about 'begged' me to do the work and offered double time on my hours and as I'm not the richest bloke in the world I really could do with the money.
I wouldn't call myself "chief coastal knowledge person " janiepopps, but I do know a little bit having grown up by the sea.
As the French say...........'Cest la vie'
and I really hope the weekend goes well. I'd love to do another one of these and hopefully will make it next time. ( anybody can arrange a meet-up you just have to be up for all that's involved in arranging one, and it can mean a bit of work) so thanks for doing this Janiepopps. I've done a few myself and know how it goes. We had someone drop out of the fishing but I understand things crop up unexpectedly.
I'll be starting my wildfood week this evening and let you know what I've been eating. Sorry again not to be able to make it.

janiepopps said:FR!! You cant not come - this is your baby!! Totally gutted. Is it worth our putting it back to another w/e?
Blimey, from a utterly selfish point of view you were chief coastal knowledge person too.

Your company was exceptional too. After all I could have been stuck in a remote spot with some nutter who owned a vast collection of axes, knives etc
And yup, the wild food was pretty fine too. Never realised that the Carlingus Canus would be in fruit
and the Baconus Buttius certainly was a welcome sight on Saturday morning!!!Glad you got home OK!! Look forward to the next adventure...
