Neumo, did you get my PM about dates?

 

[Neumo]

Yes, got the PM & replied to it; neen busy so sorry for the delay

Lamper: how did the weekend's scout go? Did you find anuwhere good. Hopefully we can hear from Wayne soon to see if there is anything happeneing there.

Only walked it, didn't camp as the England game was on.

The place on Plumpton ridge is good for about 4 tents and be secluded.

Stammer park is about the same.

I spoke to Wayne at the weekend, who is a nice guy and has a good setup in their woods. It looks like they are more of a business with paying customers attending various courses, with a few open meets every year so may not be suitable for a regular (monthly?) meet by Sussex based BCUK members. I will have to keep on looking but a quiet bushcraft friendly farm campsite may be the best idea to get things going.

I might be able to help with a spot soon, currently in negotiations with a landowner for camping & shooting rights, keep you posted

Got a meeting next week - fingers and anything else i can think of crossed

 

[Fizzy]

Hi Kepis, is there any news?

 

[Kepis]

I got use of the land, but not for overnighters at the moment, working on that one at present, just need a bit of time to develop the relationship up and build that all important trust with the landowner

 

[Neumo]

Good luck with this. I will keep on trying to get somewhere round my way but it is not easy. Maybe we could all get together at a bushcraft friendly campsite? Having been camping at the Moot I now have a taste for it & want to do some more locally.

 

[Kepis]

there's always Blackberry Wood, not that far away, bushy friendly, fairly cheap but at this time of the year packed full to the gunnels, prob best to wait until Autumn/Winter to get in now

 

[Peter_t]

i would be up for blackberry woods


pete

 

[Smat]

I would definately be interested, work permitting. Providing a relative unknown and inexperienced person would be welcome, if not....I understand.

I keep looking for a meet in Sussex but can not seem to find one. Is there anything going on regularly in the West Sussex/East Sussex area? I have been looking for a group of people to go out with on a regular bases but can not find anyone. If there is not one then would anyone be interested in doing a weekend soon? I have found a few bushcraft friendly camp site, that should be pretty empty at this time of year; I have a link at home to a web page that lists campsites where you can have fires & remember there was one not too far from Brighton that sounded good.

theres alway the wild heart gathering in spring and autumn.
google it is near chelwood gate(i think)
it is rather full of dope smoking hippies though

 

[Neumo]

Looks like we are making progress & a first meet at a camp site sounds a good way to get started.
