Norfolk and Norwich Group

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Ok.....are we starting the list then? :p

So
  1. It's walk in for those that are able to (about 3 miles from SM's?)
  2. Bring enough water, food, etc to be self sustaining
  3. Cook, etc for yourself only
  4. No group cooking but there may be a group fire for warmth etc (or if you haven't got a stove at all)
  5. I'll bring some extra water so you can have a refill of your bottle Saturday night if you underestimated
  6. Carry all waste out
Oh, and as GT said, why not say after your name if you want to learn a new skill (then someone else may bring the essentials if they can manage it (say so we don't all bring the same ;))? goodjob


I'll start it off if you want :o

Looks like a good night had there..... May well be interested in that weekend, just depends on the work to be done on the landyfor thw MOT
 
Hi Crowe, I'm sure we can fit an Autumn special in for you when you reach dry land.

The overnighter, it is about a two hour walk about 7 miles

Glad to see Kev made use of the fishing net I gave him. A good time was had by all.

Well checked and I can do the Saturday the 8th not the 9th, I have to work and worst still is the tour of Britain is finishing at the show ground on sunday and I will miss it.


So who is up for a day or we try for another weekend, maybe meet on the 8th and an overnighter in October.


The floor is open, so don't be shy, so say something even if its I just can't make it!!!!!!!!

If you want to try fire by friction the I have some seasoned poplar for a hearth and hazel for a spindle.

we need to split the heath wood and there is enough to make four or five bow sets.

Me thinks a plan coming together
