I'm guessing it may be a good idea for me to look into wood acquisition.

Depends ... how much additional seasonal ballast have you gained and need to shift?

It's seasonal insulation and so still needed. I'd rather shiver me timbers around a warm fire than shiver me ballast to stay warm. Of course shivering someone else's ballast is always an option too.

Insulation? The way we're going there's a chance you'll be a boil in the bag cosy

Considering this lovely weather we've been having, does anyone know Rough Close well enough to comment on such things as land drainage? Should I be thinking about velcro-ing the Polish lavvu edges to the sides of an inflatable dinghy, and bring along a mooring cable?

It's been known to get somewhat damp underfoot at RC

Having said that there has been quite a bit of work done on the ditches around the site so you should be fine

That would certainly be fun to see .

Like any woodland and field it can get ... moist A decent sized, not holed, groundsheet should see you fine

 

[Midnitehound]

And that is why I don't sleep on the ground.

 

[dasy2k1]

Still debating whether to go bring my hammock or bell tent..... Probabbly end up bringing both and pitching the one that seems best on the day

Really sorry guys but last minute work issues are going to prevent our attendance, gutted.

We'll certainly be up for the March TORM.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully more of an inconvenience than problematic ~ thanks for letting us know. As you say, catch you at the TORM Meet

Looks like it will be a small meet then!

I may make an appearance if I can. I won't add my name as it is 50/50 atm.

Is an inn convenience where you bomb the porcelain god of the local watering hole?

I'd purrrchased 2x wun tun bags of oriental offcuts and crammed them in the back of the white man van too.

I'll just have to post them for you now.

No worries Bodge. Be good to see you if you can make it, if not then there's always Spring TORM in March

Have you checked the bags for cats? (Aren't you supposed to have money in the kitty?)

Aren't offcuts a bit too short to be posts? (Certainly way too short to be Stormtroopers! )

 

[Midnitehound]

There you go, wun tun bag is now posted. Hope the thought of it keeps you warm.

You'll be stormtroopers if it keeps raining like it has. Yep, I said it! Up Schroedinger's Scat Creek without a paddle.

If you burn wun tun bags of kitty litters do they go woof? Twisted Siamese fire starters, ha!



Obviously some aren't house trained! I suppose you could just strap them to the ceiling, puuurfect to prevent catastrophic fire.

As someone else has mentioned it (and is therefore liable for all blame ) ...

The weather forecast is looking _interesting_. With that in mind I may, or may not, lug in the communal 'chute. This is primarily because I've a choice between travelling on foot or on bike ~ and 'chute and rigging kit weigh in (iirc) at over 20kg :yikes: . And towing a trailer in icy conditions is ... erm ... _foolhardy_ . (And I certainly ain't carrying it! )


I'm sure we can cope

Just tie a big bag of salt to your handlebars and cut a small hole in it, you'll be fine.

 

[dasy2k1]

Seems I won't be able to make it sadly
