I will be working Mon so I will be turning up Fri and staying Sat night but leaving Sun pm
I would have liked to Stay Friday and Saturday night and leaving Sunday too, rather than staying Sat and Sun night. Obviously with work this is better,

Okay cheers Sapper. Really wanted to cook a fish the way ray mears does it, so i think I will bring a trout or 2 ready. I read someone saying they were gonna bring something to put in a casserole? That will be nice 
Rabbit or whatever.

your added to the list of attendees Dave 
And dont worry too much about the tent. Just make sure you have a nice warm sleeping bag and thoughts of being in the Maldives, and you will be fine

Rabbit would be awesome, ive never tried it! I was going to buy one from the butcher but me girlfriend would have none of it.
I don't get many rabbits, there just aren't any around here. I do get a lot of pheasant, and more than the occasional deer mind. We may have to slum it with venison.
That said, if that's the dray bashing weekend I won't be able to make it but I will get there this year. I shall do my best though.

Wadda ya want a tent for?
You cannot see the view from one of them!
I will just be under a tarp in a hammock or even just ground dwelling
Ther is lots of room for tents though and as the site is reasonably sheltered even a garden pop up tent has been known to survive there

Those of us urban dwellers aren't as tough as you John, you know that.
Slum it with venison? Venison isnt slumming it, Dougster, its bloody lovely! I really hope you can make it, I was looking forward to a nice bit of grub.

Just got back from an overnighter with Rich at BNI and he's mention the first weekend in Feb. I'll throw it past the boss but may very well be there........if there is room for a small one!
By the way, the good news is the hill road down to the site has been re-surfaced so getting back out is'nt a problem any more.
Good weather, dry and not too cold, roaring fire and good company; the perfect start to a 2012 with more Bushcrafting!

It is a pity I could not join you!
I hope you can make the next one as well as I would love to catch up with you - it has been tooooooo long mate
As to the track - with an overladen frontwheel drive van I still struggled - due to the pine duff on the surface of the track ... third time lucky with a bit of sawing at the wheel....
Most vehicles should cope OK though
See you soon hopefully

It was great, really chilled and the fire was great. That's the first time I've been out with Spencer in nearly 18 months - families getting in the way. It was great mate and I commented on leaving at the lack of trade goods. The dogs had a great time but my setter shivered on me most of the night rather than use the warm bed I made them so I'm knackered.
John I'm happy to get the kit up in my car rather than drag it all up the hill.
James, I was being sarcastic, I saw a venison dealer selling sirloin for £52 per kg.
I'll try to get out a couple of times next weekend, around the beating on Saturday, and then out for an early one the following weekend before a busy weekend but I cannot promise obviously. If I get some venison I'll set a lump to one side.

Welcome to the forum Winston. What part of Wales you from?
And my i edit post and say what a good turnout its going to be for Feb. Ive got 10 names and a dog so far. Fingers crossed most people can make it, if not everyone. 5 or 6 would be great but if everyone comes who has their name down will be excellent.
