Ah the ones in B&Q by me were in bigger bags than that for £28 I couldn't see them ones.
If you've got any spare useful sawn timber offcuts would you swap for some nice natural dried spruce ? I'll cut it whatever length you like. I hate to see useful stuff getting burnt, and I'm planning to bring a stack in the pickup.
Anyone else thinking of going up tomorrow ?
PS. Booths in Kirkby is a good place for bottled ales at good prices, if you can stand to rub shoulders with the Rover and Audi driving Kirkby Lonsdale clientele in their barbour jackets..

They're only small off cuts about 12 inch long of 3x2 that the joiner cuts off a stud wall but u r more than welcome to it if you want it. Are you after some timber? Can't get long lengths tho 6foot would be about the best I can fit in the car. We throw so much away its criminal.
Not to worry then. No particular need just now, just seen some nice long bits been burnt at other meets that would have been useful sooner or later.
What a great weekend, just what I needed. My thanks to Noonan, Welchy, Bilmo, Shewie, Nick, Charlie Foxtrot and Drew. A few pics
Saturday morning
Sunday morning saw a different picture, the thermometer in the car read -8 c.
I spent the first hour of this morning spewing my guts up after being poisoned by one of Drews pork pies
Thanks again to everyone for a great meet, looking forward to the next one

Thanks for organising a fun weekend Gray, it was good to put more names to faces. The location was stunning and I got to test out my new hot tent setup.
A few pics from me ..
Saturday morning, new tent .
Drew still asleep in his bivvy ..
charliefoxtrot's mothership ..
Barbon Beck, a nice soundtrack for the weekend ..
The new stove worked a treat, no problems all weekend and I managed to tweak the dampers just about right ..
In the afternoon I went for a walk up the big hill behind camp to try and get a mobile signal, looking back to camp from halfway up ..
Nice shelter at the top ..
View from the shelter ..
Chopper ..
Some pics from Saturday night, some came out better than others ..
I love these two, I never realised the stars moved so much in 60 seconds ..
This morning around camp ..
Frozen stream ..
My thermometer measured the overnight low at -6.5*c before the battery pooped out
Thanks to everyone who turned up

Great weekend, I could have easily stayed a few more nights. Great to meet you all no doubt we will meet again at some point. Thanks for arranging this Gray.
