The Bushmoot - Bushcraft for all ages

[Seoras]

A bit late I know - had just under 3 hours of footage to sort through - got it down to 15 minutes - music by Robyn, Ed and Stephen

Brilliant George, thanks mate!

 

[bearbait]

Nice vid, thanks.

Brilliant, It brought a tear to my eye, I'm going to miss Merthyr Mawr.

 

[Seoras]

Thanks folks - appreciate the comments - will miss Merthyr but the new site is growing on me
Making this video was a real labour - too many hours of material to review and ponder over - note to self - pause more than record

Merthyr Mawr is not far from me.
I'm new on this forum and looks like I missed out on a great local event!

We had good times there for nearly 20 years.
The Moots are great, you should see if you can come along

I’m sure I’ve missed it somewhere - why did you have to move site?

The estate who owned the site put the price up to a level that it wasn't sustainable for Tony to continue there

 

[Stew]

That’s a shame and somewhat daft!

That's a very polite of putting what a lot of folks feel about it

We have been using the Rough Close for Bushcraft meets for many years and more recently for our Retro / Steamtent camps.

I understand people’s nostalgic attachment to MM but I genuinely think people will love the new site.

Just out of interest to the collective, is this tents only, or caravans/campervan?

Primarily tarp ground dwelling, hammocks, tents, tepees, yurts and assorted other camping shelters.

There 's a few that stay in campervans and the occasional caravans. I'm not sure what arrangements Tony has for caravans at the new site. They might be restricted to the carparks.

@Tony and @Toddy caravans? Are these restricted to carpark?

The tent is packed, but wife asking about caravan. Nice to hear it is primarily camping. Showers?

The main toilet block have very good quality and, more importantly, very clean showers with plenty of hot water I'm not sure about the other shower blocks but they ought to be a good standard
