This is something that was discussed at the New year meet with various interested parties.
I thought that I would post now to see If anyone had thoughts regarding the dates. Also the numbers of folks who would like to come. I would probably cap numbers at 20 bods (not children)
Everything, plantwise, usually happens 10 days later owing to the fact that we are on the 700ft contour here in the Chilterns.
I would like to try old and young trees to see how the sap tastes, also if it flows differently.
I would like to do a pit roast for the foodies (myself included) and other simple things such as making a fresh shoots salad this will be for the Saturday evening meal. Birch sap pudding recipies gratefully received!
By April the weather is usually benevolent so those less hardy may like to camp.
The site will be as per usual. The costs will be £10 pppd (adults)
Swyn.
