I have learned that hoping for any particular weather for a visit to RC is a waste - experience tells me that it'll do what it's going to do :bluThinki .
And if we don't like what we get ... we blame it on Twang Twang
:sulkoff:
Nah, that hammock isn't hanging as per Andy's special pattern sleeping pod
For those not in the know I started calling Andy 'Twang Twang' after a bit of a wind-up.
It went like this ...
Be seeing you there then mate.
The 'Twang - Twang - THUNK' set-up is what you can get if you rig your hammock up between trees which lean away from each other. The name comes from the noises heard as the straps slip, grip, slip again and is quickly followed by the sound of gravity being arrested by a sudden stop
Unfortunately I seemed to have had a bit of a premonition
Hi Guys, hi Decorum, can the 'Big Bad Wolf' Crafter come and play too?
Would add myself to the list but I'm not sure wot ones wot now!.. The latest ones subtracted your swaps list and I didn't want it getting messy.. I know 'D' has a seperate original!
CAN CAMBS CRASH AT YOUR PLACE PLEASE??
Can I request bringing some newby Cambridge guys as the meet over there has been cancelled! (double booked in the site diary!!).. I think it would do them good to see how it 'hangs' with the 'Midland Massive'!! I see the meet list isn't as large as March meet and hope you can accomodate!!..
I'll let you know numbers after I recieve PM's.. Shouldn't be more than 5 though..if ok! Sorry to gate crash, but there all very gutted it's cancelled at such short notice, what with booking time off as well, and there dying for some craft work, swaps and socialising bush chat!

Meet List:
decorum
MartinK9 - Old Hand
mclark
Mesquite - Old Hand
Nolightweight - Old Hand
shaggystu
Davey569
Muddy Boots
Tank (hopefully)
Sasquatch
Jimbo75 (+1)
Snarf (+1)
WolfCrafter
Sales/Trades/Swaps.
decorum - sales - Some leather bits and pieces, also some misc bits and bobs.
Jimbo75 - sales - Beeswax candles, Bowsaw blades etc..
MartinK9 - sales -a few sets of new boots and DPM/Desert shirts and trousers
Whilst I'm sorting the lists ... I need to put in an order for leather stuff - is anyone after leather, accessories, tools etc? If you want something I need to know ASAP so that I can get it delivered in time for the Meet. Instead of cluttering this thread, enquiries for leather stuff should be done by P.M . This is for those coming to the Meet and isn't a general offer.
Of course . I hadn't noticed that it clashed until yesterday when I saw the cancellation. I was tempted to suggest in the Cambs thread that we might be a suitable alternative but decided to give it a while to see whether somewhere more local could be sorted.
If there were 50 on our list, we'd find a way to make space round the fire

That's (literally) cool, I like cold
- much preferable to this muggy humidity 
.... and high winds for the weekend
I thought the level of wind at the Meet would depend on what the Unusual Suspects decided to cook
:yikes:
A very, very long time ago
Lol, can't help being folically challenged.

What humidity ? the air cons on in the orrifice
but it will get me on the way home but at least the M6 has just started moving again (north bound) lol
A natter between some of the Old Hands turned up a couple of things that we'd like to do at this Meet.
1. Gypsy Well*.
2. Natural shelter**.
3. Build a jerk rack.
4. Jerked meat***.
There are no promises that these activities will actually happen. If you're intersested in taking part in one or more of them talk to an Old Hand or, alternatively, keep your eyes/ears open for what's going on.
* There are provisos on digging a gypsy well - That:
there is only one,
it's located safely,
it's filled in before the end of the Meet
and ...
it's made with a digging stick.
** There is a specific area that we can take shelter material from. The shelter(s) must be dropped and left safe and tidy before the end of the Meet - any cordage used must be removed from the shelter(s).
*** If you want to eat some of the jerky bring some suitable meat to jerk.
