Looks a good time. Nice looking place. Thanks for sharing.

It certainly was mate, fingers crossed you can get in on the next one!

Great pics mate

 

[marky0283]

Totally agree with the sentiment of the last few posts...

A cracking overnighter with great company, some good skills shown and passed on, excellent bushcraft construction skills put into action, excellent cullinary skills shown (and results devoured) and most importantly some insightful and eloquent debates, discussions and conclusions made! It's BRILLIANT!!!

Many thanks Mark for organising, you have access to a cracking spot I hope to return many, many times if possible. An excellent mix of 'Gentlemen' present with some quality craic experienced. I'm still laughing out loud at some of Alex's probing questions!

I had a whale of a time, extremely enjoyable, extremely grateful to everyone who took part, can't wait to see the pics (I've emailed a few to Mark for posting).

Cheers, hope to see you all again soon.

Steve

No problems mate As I said its nice to share it with such good company. Thanks again for showing me the flint and steel technique it was fun, think I need to get me a striker and some flint!

A massive thanks to Mark for organising!!

Will post some photos later...........

Mark - I was just wondering, how did the video turn out?

 

[Bowlin]

marky0283,

Any idea when the next meet will be? I know your commitments mean it may be a while off, but it'd be good to get some dates 'penciled' into the diary (I need something to look forward too after I get back from my holiday).

Cheers

Steve

Id like to get a date in the book too. A two nighter. Perhaps. I'll make a big crazy stew.

Sorry it's taken me ages to reply!

It's looking like I won't be able to get out until November now :-( Got 3 weddings coming up and taking the wife away for her 30th so weekends off and packed. We have a leave embargo on at work as well so not able to request any leave either until further notice :-(

I can't wait to get back though it was bloody BRILLIANT!

 

[Bowlin]

Mark,

No problem, 'real-life' often gets in the way!

I've sent you a PM to discuss.

Cheers

Steve

Hi guys I am fairly new to the bushcraft world and live in north Oxfordshire I have done a couple of single night stays and am wondering if I could join you on your next time out ?
Thanks
Craig

 

[Tomcoles]

Hello Craig I can't answer weather you can or not as it's not my permission however your welcome to come out with me on the next bimble. In the mean time I am trying to find some woodland for a group of us to use. A bimble would be a good laugh and you will get to meet some of us.

Hey everybody,

I have some good news and some bad news. First of all the bad. There is still a ban on people at work taking leave and all of the weekends I have off for some time are full of plans so it looks like it will still be November some time before I can get out again :-(

The good news. I have spoken to Nicki (the land owner) and as we behaved ourselves so well she is happy to let up to 8 of us camp next time!

Hello mate. You are more than welcome to come along on our next trip although it may be a few months away :-( Toms a quality bloke take him up on his offer if you can for a bimble! Tom when you plan a bimble can you let me know? Although I can't do a camp out I may be able to find a free afternoon!

Count me in for a Bimble! Tom, there are a few good spots up in Whiteleaf Woods or we could re-visit some of our other bimble locations...

 

[Tomcoles]

I will let you guys know. I have screwed my back to the point I cannot walk at all. I am sure I will be back to full speed soon. I saw you today Alex I was right behind you the wife was driving. I was coming back from the docs.

I am also considering buying a two man open canoe for bushcraft trips. Stealth camps etc

Hi Tom,

sorry to hear you've done your back in - hope you get better soon! You should have flashed me (assuming you are still driving the CRV lol!!)

Saw your post re an open canoe, cracking idea!!

Bad news mate, hope you have a speedy recovery. I think the canoe idea sounds good too!
