Just bought my ticket for the Moot but I won't be in my usual spot near the Naughty Corner this year.

As some of you know I've had a bit of a change of direction lately and a lot of my free time has gone towards setting up the Steam Tent Co-operative. A group interested in Camping and Outdoor Life with an Old School / Steampunk Twist.

It seems only fitting that I set up my own camp that puts that into practice then. I'm told that Scots Corner, down by Dingly Dell, has become vacant of late so hopefully I can take up the tenancy as there is certainly not enough room in my old corner.

I'm also hoping that some of you might join in the spirit of things down there and we can enjoy an encampment a little less ordinary.

Bang goes the neighbourhood! lol.

We may move a little bit this year, little R has expressed a desire to be under her own tarp on her own! We shall see though...

Maybe we can use our tarps properly at the moot for once!

Preparations are under way.

I've been rationalising my lantern collection, replacing old rusty full sized lanterns with small new ones which give out almost as much light but pack much better.

Still got my red "navigation" light, next to the brass one at the back, but it won't be in my normal spot by the Naughty Corner.

I've also put some thought into refilling them with something a bit better than a plastic bottle.

So, one old copper hot water bottle, one brass spirit tap, one drilled hole and five minutes of soldering.

Job done.

Just got back from Heysham Viking Festival ( Best Viking show of the year. ) and now thoughts turn to the Moot.

Anyone else joining us in the Retro / Steampunk Corner this year?

All will be welcome to visit, that goes without saying when I camp.

We should have some spare chairs or boxes to sit on and there are usually a few tin cups around for your drinks if you want to get into the spirit of the thing.
nice one Wayland! see you there then :)

There is usually plenty of room down this end of the site. Depends what you want really, some like to be close to everything while others (like most down this part!) Prefer to be more away from the main area...

Being my first Moot, i'll probably be close to the main area for now. But i like walking, so will most definitely be visiting as many camps as possible over the 12 days.
