White Rose Wood Meet April 2014 - Pictures

[MartinK9]

Many thanks to all that attended.

My Set Up:

Set Ups:

Fantastic weather all weekend meant we got all our planned jobs completed.

First up, fell the cracked tree we spotted on the last Meet:

Gravity is weird sometimes:

Chopped and stacked:

Woodpile in all it’s glory, this allows us to concentrate on other tasks during the summer months:

Next task; to re-proof the parachute.
First undo all knots:

Ready the barrel:

Add the chute and more Fabsil:

Seal barrel tight and kick around for a few hours, then hangchute up to air dry:

Thanks to all that attended once again.

Great pics mate. Looks like me staying away keeps the weather fine once again

Andy BB going lightweight then eh lol. WOT no Lavvu

 

[PeterH]

AndyBB has plenty of Lavvu but those that stay away don't get to find out the technical issues

Nice progress on the woodpile guys. Hope the rest of the weekend was half the fun of Friday, I don't think I have laughed so much for a very long time.

10/10 for persistence to Karl who invented a new way to fell trees, 4ft at a time ...... from the base upwards that is.

Just testing the wood, after all you would not want to log up a defective supply

Gosh, what glorious weather for a workparty! Did the chute dry fully? How long did it take please? I heard you were using fabsil... was there a bit left over, about how much did it use in the end, did you get other stuff treated too?? May I ask how much it was too please? Sorry about the 20 questions, I'm researching for doing the North Wood and my own

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Looks like I missed a good meet. Sad to see my try go, but it dig have a great big split in it (nothing to do with my weight) but it kept you busy. How long did it take to get down and which way did it go in the end?

I like Martin and Karls his and hers setup :yikes:

Also is it me or is Andys setup getting smaller and smaller ever meet?

 

[Andy BB]

Yup - down to a Saracen and one wheelbarrow load now

Appear to have temporarily "misplaced" the Tipi poles..............................

 

[Tank]

I see, so just a Saracen and a wheelbarrow is more down to "misplacing" your kit more than you going lighter

 

[Andy BB]

Yup - more space in an 8-man Seekoutside to fill with useful niknaks

 

[TinkyPete]

Thanks for a great meet I stealth camped it no one was able too see my pitch set up in dark, packed away at first light

Dried fully.

4 litres left out of 15.

An arm and a leg

How long did it take to get down and which way did it go in the end?

2hrs to drop.

First forward, then right, then forward and finally left.

Thanks K9, that's a huge help I imagine the real deal has hardeners in but its still sounding do-able with diy 3 to 1 white spirit & silcone if we allow extra time. The mixing will be a beast though, need lots of burly woodland blokes with strong wrists Even home made is working out at £36 for 10ltr! Mad
