Any one in the Dorset area?

[BushTucker]

Hi all

This one has probably been done before , if so, forgive me .

Who is local to me, I live in Weymouth, I know its not the best place for bushcrafty things but lovely views and great days out.

Maybe a good chance for a gathering in the area eh....

I could throw a rock and it would land in Wiltshire, but it says Dorset on the map. I'm just outside of Sixpenny Handley.

I'm north of you in Wiltshire, but I'd be interested in a meet.

Would be nice if we could all hook up somewhere near for us all. Has any of you guys got any ideas where?

Somewhere around Blandford Forum seems pretty central, but I don't know that area at all well. Are any of you going to the Cranbourne Chase Wood Fair at Tollard Royal in a few weeks? I've got quite a lot I need to do whilst I'm there (researching woodland crafts mainly), but would be happy to meet up with others for a brew at some point.

The wood fair seems like a good possibility - SWMBO owes me an outing or two.

Failing that, for bimbles in public-access woods, I can suggest Ringwood Forest, the woods to the north of Sixpenny Handley (i.e. just round the corner for me) the woods to the north of Martin Down or the New Forest - unless you can suggest any favourites?

FGYT has been having some thoughts too, but I think he's off camping somewhere just now.

Let me know if you (or anyone else on here) is going and we'll sort out how to meet up.

The further north (of Dorset) the better for me at the moment, as my time will be limited. But I'm definitely up for a bimble somewhere.

Please give us a shout if you fancy meeting up for anything, as I live in the Bournemouth area, but can travel within reason.

Cheers,

I'm in Yeovil and got down to Weymouth all the time. I'll be ready whenever a place is arranged.

found that the other day from the blurb Dave Budd is demonstrating there

i definatly want to go (always have a brew kit handy )

a bimble in public access woods is easiest for a Chat and a brew etc

Working on finding a land owner who will let you play in the woods is a bit more difficult even in exchnage for a little help round the place etc

Was just going to post that when I did my traingin excavation many years ago, I stayed in Six Penny. I had the best birthday party I'd ever had there courtesy of the Roe Buck's landlord

As FGYT says, I'm going to be at the Woodfair with my Iron Age forge and sharpening demos. Oh and a table of sharps of course (that reminds me, I must return the booking form )

[palmnut]

Ok chaps - if we're going to meet at the Woodfair which day should we make it, Saturday or Sunday? I can do both, but am off to Aldershot on Saturday evening to see Mearsy on his current tour.

 

[Dave Budd]

I'll let the others decide. Once I get there on friday night I shan't be leavingthe place until the show is well and truely over!

If it looks like I'm running late, just come and get me
