Ravens Gill sounds excellent. Personally I'd prefer 3 weeks notice - migh be able to manage 2 at a push - so that would help me. Otherwise "I'm IN". Transport availabale if anyone needs a lift (Astra Estate - loads o' room).
Suggest - if you're willing, Madriverrob - set a date, get it booked and go for it. Count me in.

well aye Rob, i know where you mean, Hesleden, used to cycle up along the old railway line to Castle Eden and back thru Nesbitt hulam to the back of Hart village, often stopped for a bit wander into the woods on foot
the bits of woodland iv,e wandered at Wynard are mostly coniferous but theres lots iv,e not explored yet
Anytime suits me really, altho i do like me Sat a/noons in club, lol, might go for a recce about sometime soon but you work out whats good for you and i,m sure i can sort something out m8.

Ship

Would have to be a Sunday then m8. That would mean 7 or 14 Dec. for me. Maybe we'll have a group meetup planned by then anyway, in which case this probably isn't relevant. Otherwise I suggest we book a date (14 Dec, say) and arrange details nearer the time and go explore for a day. Have car so travel no problem if we want to go further afield.
How's that with you Ship? Anyone else welcome if nothing else planned by then.
Rob

sounds good to me, as you say hopefully a group meet can be arranged soon, what do you think the rest of you? Northbushcraft, op, what do you think, any thoughts or ideas m8, seems like there,s a bit of intrest, lets keep this ball rolling.
Rob, google tells me most of the denes, Heselden, Bleachey, Hawthorne (between Easington and Seaham) are ancient or semi-ancient woodlands and seem to be managed by various trusts and other similair organisations as opposed to private ownership, but look fantastic, BTW it doesn,t have to be a Sunday m8, i,d rather be out in the countryside than the club;), as i said what ever suits you and others.
Come on peeps, get onboard:rolleyes:,

Hi Guys,

Ship: 14 Dec is good for me. Fully booked up before then.

Agree. Interest seems good.
When you look at the Groups section on this site there's plenty going on in other regions. It only takes 2 or 3 to get things rolling. (My Wife's pertty keen too :)
I suggest 13/14 Dec for possible first group meet / overnighter.

Madriverrob: Any news on Ravens Gill campsite? You up for that date?
bopdude: You good too?
Anyone else?

Cheers,
Rob

Brockwell looks good to me. I say we book it.
If there's agreement shall we each book for ourselves or does someone want to book for who's going?

Where in Darlo. I did "most" of my growing up there, Rise Carr and then Longfield, got all over the town though, as you do, if we're up for it I'll contact Brockwell.

I grew up in the centre of Darlo, currently living just on the outskirts. As much fun as Brockwell is I am busy the 13th during the day with a Scout trip, maybe next time though!
