Basic Campcraft Weekend

[Gray]

Hiya everyone, I'm putting a weekend on 22nd 23rd November, just basic stuff like fire lighting with firepistons and camp cooking etc, if you fancy a get together all you need to do is turn up and bring some food,liquid and firewood (and obviously something to sleep in, tent etc)
Its at Blindbeck Bridge in Carnforth just outside Barbon, Grid Ref SD655827

Do you have a rough itinerary for the weekend? I looks like I can make it. I do have a duty on the 22nd but I should be able to get that off.

To be honest...no, not yet. But... I dont run my life by the clock and so if anyone wants something demonstrating I'm happy to oblige. Most of the guys who are going will already know basic campcraft etc and some are going to put demos on themselves.
I was thinking of Basic stuff like fire lighting, camp cooking etc. We might even get some shelter building in, see what the weathers like etc.
Hope this helps

First: The following is NOT going to lead to any improper approaches...
Second: Are there going to be any women at this meet? (Wives, girlfriends, singles, anything)

I'll probably head up but my missus is in 2 minds. Might be able to persuade her if there were going to be some more of the (MUCH!) fairer sex there.

 

[Gray]

Errr everyones welcome but to be honest, no ones said anything about bringing partners so I cant answer your question
