Nope.... can't wait for Friday to get here.

Any idea when we can turn up to this one Steve? I've booked the Friday off so I've got nothing but time on my hands, was hoping to sort an internal tripod for the Polski lavvu before it gets dark...

I'm sure Phil will be along to answer this but if I remember rightly the site prefer folks to arrive after 5.

However, there might be a bit of leeway to be a bit earlier as it's dark by then but don't quote me on it

... if I remember rightly the site prefer folks to arrive after 5.

Yup ...

... However, there might be a bit of leeway to be a bit earlier as it's dark by then but don't quote me on it

Again - yup. There's some leeway - there won't be a problem arriving with time to set up in the light ... 3.30 - 4 pm arrivals should be fine

[sasquatch]

I'm really looking forward to trying the Polish tipi, but the weather report makes me think a hammock as back-up might be wise. Anyone built a Tom Sawyer type raft in the woods before? Might be on the agenda...

Take both, I am sure you'll be fine in the Polish Tent set-up, the whole place doesn't flood, well, not all of it :theyareon

I planned on bringing both, thought it would be nice to crawl into a bag on the floor for a change, going to be mulling some cider this time round a la Wayland at the last one...

That explains it then

Maybe we need to do this in a big pan so we can dip our mugs in when needed

hmm, looks like were in for a lively weekend weather wise, heavy rain and gale force winds!... having never been in rough close before, what species and age of trees are we pitching amongst? we could have more firewood on our hands ... (and heads) than we bargained for!

In the area we'll be using there's well established oak, birch, ash, alder to name a few species and loads of hazel. The age varies from birch that are probably about 20 years plus old to 100 years plus for some of the oaks

As you say the weather forcast looks interesting for sure

 

[woodspirits]

thanks mesquite, glad you didnt mention beech!.. looking forward to it.
