Bushmoot 2008

[firecrest]

Yeah all the wines exploded. sorry folks, no elderflower rocket fuel for the naughty corner, I guess the stuff was just TOO naughty for its own good
Now if you`ll excuse me, I have been ordered to go over and help clean the kitchen walls, ceiling and floor....

 

[firecrest]

another Quick Question!!


Can we sea fish at the moot? I know its private land Im not sure what the sea fishing laws are for private beaches.

 

[Tony]

Yes, you'd wander across the dunes and set up on the coast, no problem there

Umm, makes me think I might do a ponnasing workshop

 

[firecrest]

Or how about a sea raft and net building workshop

 

[Tony]

If you know how and want to run one I'll schedule it in

Good god I'd drown us all!! I think I best just bring a small fishing rod if anything.

 

[Wayland]

I had heard that Stuart was musing about doing a desert course in the sand dunes.

We'll have to see if we can get a promise out of him one night round the fire....

 

[Tony]

Have to be careful there as it's all protected area, nothing wrong with a nice stroll though

 

[Wolfie]

Fishing is Ok from the beach. Fishing on the river is a different matter. Certain areas are private fishing areas. As far as I understand you can fish between the Treatment Works bridge to the sea but only on the Eastern side of the river or in the river itself. The Merthyr Mawr Estate is willing to give people access across the saltmarsh but not for the purposes of fishing (there are no public rights of way, access is permissive).

As for running a course on the dunes it may be possible - it all depends on what is being done, providing the right insurance documents etc etc. Stuart - I should be at the moot sometime so if you are still interested we can have a chat and sort something out.

 

[firecrest]

is it safe to fish where there is treatment works?

 

[Cobweb]

I can show people how to make a net.
I only have one netting needle but if everyone was willing to make a needle one night I'd be happy to show you how

 

[Wayland]

I will probably have my "non needle" netting up for a bit of work on it if anyone wants to see that too.

Due to family commitments in the form of yet another wedding I won't be able to make it this year, much to my chagrin. I'm sorry that I won't be there to run you good folk about as usual.

I look forward to reading reports of good things. I'm really miffed at not being there.:sadwavey:

[Tony]

Im getting my stuff packed and excited now. We are going to head down very early, and arrive about 8 am or something, I have a feeling the site doesnt open till later? But we can't organise it any other way than get there exremely early.
Man I keep pestering everyone with questions, Im like a kid going holiday!

I know what you mean. I was planning to start getting things packed but had to go collect a couple axles for my step sons that he'd bought on ebay for his jeep... the things you do for the kids.

We are going to head down very early, and arrive about 8 am or something, I have a feeling the site doesnt open till later? !

I'm aiming to get there early as well and will probably end up on the dunes flying my kites and snoozing til the gates open at 1:00pm
Safe journey and see you there

 

[Tony]

As Mesquite says, open at 13.00

 

[Cobweb]

I'm excited too, most of everything is packed and waiting patiently in the living room!
I was just wondering is there a website or gallery about the moot place?
