Hi folks,
Thanks for inviting me PaulW and me along. Really enjoyed the company - a great bunch. Enjoyed the rabbit skinning, the carving demo and of course the excellent grub. Not sure about holding me down and pouring that brandy down my throat! Don't forget, I know where you live (or I can fnd out!)
I'll put up the pics in the next couple of days.
Thanks again.
Pablo.

Another cracking weekend lads, enjoyed all your company, nice to see some old faces again, magic meal on sat Dave, can't wait to cook it for the family at home. Please don't forget to send me the recipe.Thank you Swyn for letting us stay great to see you again. All the best.............Jon

 

[jasons]

Cheers all

 

[Silverback]

Thanks for a great weekend lads and I am both pleased and relieved that the 'Shrafters Rabbit with Herb Dumplings and Pitkin Veg n Mash' was a big success

A special thanks to Mr Sears for all his largely unseen efforts in the fair amount of setting up - he is normally the first man on site at a Bucks meet and toils away for most of the first day to make the bushcraft experience such a pleasure for all of us.

I think this was one of the largest meets we have had so far with the total number of bodies around the fire on Saturday evening numbering 16. Organised workshops included Rabbit Prep and Carving with Shelter Building, Foraging and Bowdrill being practised by various people. The communal meal in the barn was great with good friends, good humor and a sea of empty plates - you couldn't ask for more

We have some great ideas for future meets and maybe one with a festive flavour so watch this space

Cheers

Dave

Excellent time this weekend

Thanks to Silverback for the rabbit demo and the meal, well worth the wait.
Jason and Aaron for the entertainment, Pitkin for the loan of the chair, Swyn as always for the site and for looking after my favourite spoon
Oh and everyone else for the good company

oh dammit!

Would love to ,but was out with Lupus last weekend and wish to remain attached to my manhood so dare not mention it to her indoors!

Ditto! I actually had to pull out of a british blades meet cos I've been out too much! I'm actually going up to the lakes for a bit so not all bad but still nice to go bushcrafting!

Is this a casual thing or a full meet? Something in about 3 weeks would be ideal!

By the way, COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!
