Middlewood "Verical Smoke" - 31/10 - 02/11/08

cool, I'll do my very very best! Not just to be there but to bring some too, money's not too good at the moment though so, if not, I hope I don't seem too antisocial.

The place looks MASSIVE! much bigger than any scout site I've ever been to. Any advise on kit to bring, I can do the obvious; Hammock and tarp, brew kit, little stove, knife, food, sleeping bag & mat, clothes and wash kit. First aid kit and string / paracord to help with emergency improvisations (or for drying clothes / airing bedding), also probably have my machetti in my car.

Have I Missed anything?

You'll need the machette to get out of Andywinks beer tent if you cant find the entrance after to many

Did someone mention beer?​

 

[In Wood]

I have just bottled some IPA home brew, will bring a couple (2Ltr bottles) for the christening. Should just about have got an edge to it by next weekend.

So I will get the first round in (you can be my testers).

Failing that I will have an Islay malt that might do the job.

not a problem hope he doesn't mind having an additional "door"

thought of a couple of things though - pots and pans and a lighter of some sort. Sounds a lot but most of it would go in an average bag.

What's the place like, muddy, wooded, flat?
