Sussex Bushcraft group meet for JUNE: 22nd to 24th

[Simon H]

What do we think on the leatherwork then? Postpone it until all the regulars are there or do it anyway? I don't really fancy carting all the gear over twice, and Iona is dropping me off on Friday so I'm limited for space this trip. Next time would suit me better tbh. I can bring a big section of Birch for carving instead (if it's not sun-dried in my porch).

sounds good to me I am hopefully down with you next time...

 

[Simon H]

You've made my mind up Stew, that's sorted then! Leatherwork next time! It'll be cheaper with more people anyway as there will be more to divvy up the hide between that Spandit kindly purchased.

 

[Pholland]

Hi neumo, i am really sorry but im going to be able to come. Work has come up and i have to take it.
I am gutted that i can't come but definitely let me know of the next one and i will be there.
Apologies again,
Peter.

 

[Neumo]

Am sitting by the pool in the house we rented in Majorca with the faint smell of BBQ wafting in the air, with a glass of decent Rioja red wine in my hand. Spent the day on the beach under my silnylon tarp reading Mor's classic Buschcraft book. Having a great time & hope to show upon Sunday morning, probably with a bright red face.

I wouldn't worry about that. Took me three goes to make my first visit.

Is a basic knife cuts and safety on the cards? I'm always interested in a new version of safety, and am only getting into the rhythm of getting out and about, so seldom get to do much knife work.

Yippee..... the postie just brought me a largish parcel from tenth wonder. I'm rather looking forward to the weekend now.

 

[Simon H]

Swallow we can do knife safety and cuts etc no problem. I've had a proper stressful week so anything sat in a chair relaxing is fine by me! Spandit I'll pack your press studs, Bill bring whatever knife I owe you a sheath for please and Hugo I'll bring the leather I owe you for the auger. I may not be there until lunchtime now as I'm waiting for my wages to clear to go and get the food and beer.

 

[Hugo]

OK Simon mate.
Will you have transport at that time of day or would you like a lift.

 

[Simon H]

I'll be fine to get there but I may be on the scrounge for a lift home on Sunday as Iona is probably going to a wedding.

 

[Kepis]

Wont be down as planned later today chaps, should be down tomorrow though

 

[spandit]

Simon can't make it today now - is anyone able to get the 'chute from him as he's not far down the road. Would do it myself but can't come until tomorrow

 

[Simon H]

Yeah, sorry, circumstances beyond my control are keeping me away today but I will be there first thing. Anyone can pop round mine and get the chute if they want, or I'll bring it in the morning. Not sure how you'll get in contact unless anyone on site has an internet phone thing, but I'll keep an eye out for messages and pass on my mobile number if needed.

 

[hellobayo]

Sorry guys, but I can't make this or the next meet. Have a fabulous time and looking forward to seeing you all in August.

 

[Kepis]

Will be with you lot late morning, just need to get a few things sorted out first before heading over

 

[Dark Horse Dave]

Just trying to get the kids moving, then we're setting off!!
