Hi,
I am interested in a peak area meet.
There are scout campsites at Marple in the N Peak and it is reasonably large. Tansley nr Matlock and Spitewinter between Chesterfield and Matlock.
It may be worth speaking to Bill warden at North Lees campsite if he would allow something on his patch
All my land is virtually treeless, and exposed to the elements
Meaghaidh.

I could get to any of the places mentioned, I am not good at organazizing though
so I will keep my eye on here and If anyone sorts a meet out and I can make it on the day I will be there.
Had a meet up with PJMCbear last week at Crowden I had the kids with me so we had a bit of a walk and picked some bilberry's, not a major bush craft event but it was nice to meet up.

Yep
Very nice to meet you and you lovely daughters.
Just to let you know, J, picked about 2lb of Bilberries yesterday. A bumper crop this year. Also found the wild strawberries again, but not many fruits.
Any idea why Snake Pass is closed?

Any meets planned in Derbyshire area??
fairly new to this site but have been bushcrafting for a few years, would be great to learn more from other like minded people.

Not going out at the moment mate. I managed to break my big toe, so off my feet until the new year.

Hello all - I'm in the same position as kiakanpa. I'm new to bushcraft too and it would be great to meet up with some of you folks and pick up a few tips.kiakanpa said:
I've got a four month old baby so it would also be a great excuse to get out of the house for some much needed peace and quiet!!!
Hi, Are u folks managaging to meet up at all. Im in the peaks most days as I work up there. Could do with getting out with likeminded folks plus I could do with a break from daddy duties!
Addo
Most of us meet up at the North West meets these days. There's one this weekend at Forest Camp, Delamere. If you can get out from the Daddy duties (I've a very understanding wife and children) you should get yourself along.

I will do in the future. My boy is already showing a love of the outdoors. He's only 3, but wants to go camping with his Dad. My daughter is only 5 weeks, but when she's a little upset, taking her outside seems to be the quickest way to quieten her. Walking up and down the garden with her in a sling works every time. Even at 3 in the morning under a brolly.
Cheers, will try to get up there. Managing to get wife and daughter - nearly 2years old, camping ( with half the house in the car ) just need to get them in the woods. with less stuff.
Yep that's the hurdle I'm overcoming at the moment. We're going to the Delamere meet and to be honest we're probably going to take nearly everything we take car camping. Still - small steps
I'm in Bollington near Macc btw. 2 children - 14months and 5yo
