I'm planning on bring some sausages,burgers, rolls, relish etc .
And some homemade pickled stuff ,plum chutney ,red cabbage and eggs.
Got a couple of swedish candles made from old Scots pine if it would be ok to bring them too.
Dug out the old pack and I'm in the process of getting the mildew off it now
before getting the packing done.

With my back being worse in recent weeks, is it possible to drop off my kit right next to the camp area? I know I'll have to park the car across the river, just wondered how close I could leave my kit before I park

Last time I was there Wildy the closest we could get was about 8 feet away... unless there have been any regulation changes you'll be fine.
Cheers Adze, sets my mind at rest knowing I'm not going to do any more damage

Hey folks,
Everything is looking good,
I will pick some bbq stuff up on the way mabey some ribs,
WWC I am getting the gate code from the ranger up there, we can take our gear right to the campsite drop it off then go down to the car parking area. If your having trouble I can easily bring you back up from there in the car.
Has anybody got any last minute questions etc ????
Not long now

As well as most of the sharp stuff I own I'll be bringing some blunt stuff, a hatchet which needs a new handle and another which needs a mask, both will need a mask now I think of it, and a tent I've never managed to put up correctly first time around. Any advice or assistance with the above will be gratefully received.
I'll also be bringing far too much cordage, too many tarps, a Polish laavu, Tom - a very enthusiastic 7 year old keen on "learning to be quiet so I can see more nature and learning to climb pine trees" (his words), Monty the jack russell and a mahoosive box of cherry scented wax - carving moulds for candle making and dipping magic biscuits for all... as it's about 10kg!

Niiiiiiiiice! 
really looking forward to my first meet & meeting everyone (beware though, I'm rather crap with names), especially now I've got my birthday Fjällräven troosers to test out!

Looks like this'll be a good one - I've got someone round to view my house on Sat afternoon which kinda messes up my plans to turn up at some point for this weekend - hope everyone has fun.
Well, it's a glorious evening. I left the camp earlier as I am babysitting tonight and working first thing. Heading back out after lunch tomorrow but here are a few pics of the set-up in progress
The central fire awaiting the (huge) tripod and parachute. Craig's Soulpad in the background.
General chit chat with Nic's Helsport hidden by a tree!
Various tarps in the process of getting rigged up
Inside my Lavuu with tooooo much kit!

Well, we are back. I have managed to prize El out of Lawrence's hat,and the unpacking is underway.
Thanks to all for the way you all helped El out when things got tough for her, she loved it, had a great time and wants the autumn meet to be brought forward to late April.
What a great weekend. Thanks again to those who did far more organising and sorting out than I did.
