Thanks everyne who made it - was a really fun weekend, despite the last minute venue changes!

Attended: Neil1, Pinky & Nova, Neumo, Dark Horse Dave, GrayJay, Peter_t (plus Neil's friends Graham (for yesterday) and Calum)

For anyone interested, Wowo was a good campsite and would be good particularly for those with families. They have a number of yurts, which can be seen in the background of some of these pics, and their woodland 'premium' pitches have some opportunity for hammocks.

Huge thanks to Neil1 for instruction in using the bow drill and spoon making - we all appreciated it.

Very much looking forward to the next one which I hope to be able to set up for mid-April!

Load of pics now...
(If anyone who went would like full res copies of any of the pics, let me know - I've also got a few more not shown here)

Yes, we all had a great time & it was aaturday & left nice short session, as most of us arrived at about lunchtime on Saturday and left on the Sunday. It was good to finally get something happening locally & hopefully we can get a meet happening regularly. It is good news about the new venue which sounds really interisting. Had a really fun time & looking forward to the next one.

Good photos. Went to Wowo probably a couple of weeks after you - absolutely amazing campsite, particularly down on the "tipi trail". Unfortunately our foraging walk was cancelled as I think we were the only people booked on. At least the wild garlic was out in full swing - made a nice easy addition to my flavoured rice.
