- Thread starter Kepis

Nice pics. Is that East or West Sussex, I'm having trouble recognising it! Wish people did that sort of thing here, i do miss the South Downs.
What no picture of Hugo's tent, I'm crestfallen.
They look good Kepis, I really enjoyed meeting everybody there, a good time had by all.

It's in East Sussex. Monkey boy is right - we should have done a group picture - let's hope the next meet is as fun!

...but 5 miles from the border with West Sussex- at the top of Sussex.
Zoom in without moving the centre- that's where we were.

I said to my wife after seeing these picture, I don't remember seeing that bloke there, the one with the funny hat, on second glance I recognised myself. 
Well we are calling it the BCUK Sussex meet but most of it happens a bit north of Lewis in East Sussex (but not too far from West Sussex), as it seems to be the most convienient location for most people. It means people from Sussex, Surrey, Kent & London can get there in an hour or less. We even had a few loacls bike in from Forest Row a mile down the road, which was good to see. There was not too much happening south of London, so this is looking like a good place to have a meet. The Broadstone Warren campsite, near East Grinstead, is a great location as they have a large site & are Bushcraft friendly letting us have fires etc... The next meet for November is advertised here:

Oh to have bushcrafting friends nearby.
Might start my own meet here but i think i will only get a few sheep and a couple of mountain goats turn up.

Do not doubt but put up a meet thread inviting locals, as you may be surprised. I did justthat this weekend & was hoping for 5 people to turn up. I got 3 times that and we had a really good weekend. There were kids running round experiencing the woods as they should be, skills sessiions on the bow drill thanks to Kepis, good beers round a campire, bread baking, pine torch experiments & group cooking that seemed never to end. It only takes soemeone to set up a meet and you could havesomething good going before you know it...
The freedom of being able to wander around a wood fully "tooled up" and then camp there without feeling slightly guilty was wonderful. Cost £10 which is a bargain in my book for the amount I learnt (plus the friends made etc.)
