I'm away in sunnier(?) climes I'm afraid, have a good one.

Should be there, won't be before 8:00pm though.

Sorry, can't make this one, prior engagement. Interested in any trips out though. Jim.

I'm heading to the GR10 in a few weeks time, just for 7 days walking starting from Hendaye. I'm also going lightweight, and aiming to wild camp most/all nights, I've a couple of queries: Have you found spots for wild camping easy to find? I see you've taken full waterproofs, I was hoping...

Thanks again to Fraxinus for the very useful chunk of wenge. Julia, does the (glorious smelling) midge repellent also claim to deter ticks?

See you there, will bring table tennis balls! Am I supposed to be bringing anything else?

I should be there, there's less likelihood of an unexpected last minute trip to Spain this month!

Hi, I'm from Whitstable in Kent. I'm a scout leader, an occasional climber, and lightweight backpacker. I've been to a few of the Kent pub meets and lurked here for a while. Jim.

Wll the next pub meet be 7th April? (Trying to get organised for a change!)

Logistics are looking impossible for Saturday night, but I'll be around Sat afternoon with some shiny toys. Julia, I'll bring the Alpkit bivvy you wanted to try. Jim.
