Managed to get ahead with my orders, so definitely be able to attend. Apologies for getting the date wrong on the first time round.

Steve, am I okay to test my new stove onsite? I can bring along a bag or two of logs, so I won't be taking from the woods.

Also, would you like me to bring my parachute for the group area... the one we tested last year?

hi Dewi thought you were being a bit brave! :) test away mate and no need to bring wood, there's plenty to be had here. as for the chute, thats ok we have one there already ta. :)

I just hope everyone turns up, now would be a good time to confirm to see if this meet is viable? I'm assuming the lack of interest in a group meal means just bring your own gear.

More than happy to bridge the gap for anyone's absence so the meet can happen. Let me know what is needed and I'll contribute accordingly.

I personally would love a group meal. Perhaps all who attend could bring a contribution to said meal, and we can enjoy a meal from said contributions. I can buy a joint of meat if that helps?

Edit: I don't yet have a pot big enough for a group meal, but if needed Military Mart is half an hour away... I can buy a big pot if needed. It'll come in useful more than once I'm sure.

Well you know me, I always bring meat and two veg for each night I stay... no bother to extend the amounts and bring a decent chunk of meat and some extra veg. Anything that doesn't get eaten, I'll eat when I get home anyway :D

I'll have a ride over to MM and see what they have Dutch oven wise... they had some pretty large pots last time I was over there, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I can bring bread as well... I like a bit of bread with a stew :)

No worries :D Looking forward to it.

So preferences? Bird, pig or cow? Or lamb? What do people prefer for their pre-Christmas dinner?

Not entirely sure how to make a proper roast dinner on a camp fire... but I do have a good line in Polish gravies that are rather good... and I can make a mean stew :D

Anyone want to volunteer some mince pies, figgy pudding or maybe a nice Yule log?

I'll make sure we have a good main meal. I'm not greatest cook, but Sunday Roast (essentially a Christmas dinner) I can do.... just need to adapt to an open fire. Raise your hand if you don't like sprouts?!?

Many thanks Dewi for taking this on.

I'll have to decline and stick to my regime ATM . :(

This is the second Xmas meal in the woods I've had to bow out of.
