Yes you can. Come on down from Friday tea time & we are there until 2 something on the Sunday. Look at the site map & find N1, which is quite hidden away. If you can find the ranger car park then just follow the track down till you se us on the left (about 200 yards down)

It can be bit deceiving from the map. When you come off the public Road onto the side road there is a gate into the Ranger Car Park but you don't go in the gate you go past it to get the the camp.

Aaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh. Really torn this time. Got the pass, but got things I need to get sorted and can only do them at weekends.

I'm going to be a last minute yea or nea this time. I've got the chute, so it might be an idea to plan for me not being able to get over with it. But fingers crossed I'll get further through what I've got on and be able to make it.

 

[Simon H]

I am now very busy that weekend as my kids are over and I'm working at Bedgebury on the Saturday, but what I may do is pop over Friday afternoon, set up a tent and leave it, then pop back for just Saturday night with my daughters.

 

[Hugo]

May I ask how old they are Simon.
Be good to see you mate, hope we are doing plenty of bushy things this meet.

 

[Simon H]

They are 5 and 7 mate. My eldest likes the woods a lot, she's even packed a bag of wood up from her local woods in France to bring over. Not sure the little one has the bug yet though, we'll see. Be good to see you too mate, if I don't stay I'll still drop in to give you that leather and hopefully Bill his new sheath too.

 

[Hugo]

Not promising anything but if they had a kite would it be pink.

 

[Simon H]

Yeah, everything is pink in their world!

And as promised I am hoping to use the new 8L Dutch Oven I bought off someone on this forum to cook up some hearty lamb or beef stew for everyone on Saturday evening.

 

[Hugo]

Will you be bringing a seat to sit on by any chance, cant have you sitting on the floor again.

That reminds me, I bought a new chair a couple of days ago.
I'm slightly worried though, I just noticed it has a lable that says max load 100kg. I'm sure it will be fine

 

[MandaPanda]

I'll be ready with the splints and paracord....

 

[Kepis]

and a camera

 

[veryWildbill]

I've got 2 weeks to loose 8kg, I'll be fine what can possibly go wrong.

 

[jackcbr]

Bill and Pete, here's one for you two

[veryWildbill]

Very nice, but could I find enough scaffold poles at the site?

 

[Hugo]

That camp chair looks good, I've been meaning to make one, I reckon canvas would be good for our meet.

 

[jackcbr]

I agree Hugo. I've got an old canvas tent that I'm recycling and think I might have a go at one of these. Mind you it will have to be sewn by hand as my sewing machine is US at he mo

 

[jackcbr]

Bill, tesco have got a sale on camping stuff and have chairs really cheap
