bushcraft show near Windermere

[rancid badger]

Sorry your link's not there

The thing is; I want to see the terms and conditions

I'm surprised that no one has been on to explain why there appear to be no terms and conditions available or if they are; where and from whom?

Has anyone who has already paid, received any more contact info for the organisers?

I think I'll be going, as I live nice and close. But funds permitting to if its a day visit or the whole weekend.

Is the facebook link the only active link to what they're doing ?
I'm not on facebook and I don't want to be either.

I'm with Sniper on this about knowing what's actually available for the cash.

Oh well.

Funnily enough there's been a lot of discussion of a big Southern Scottish skills sharing/ meet up that weekend.
I was kind of holding off, but it this one isn't moving, we might press ahead.

cheers,
Toddy

check out the youtube link above, it gives some usefull information

Not sure how you got the idea that there's useful info in the youtube clip Robbi. I watched it and all it is is a slideshow of where it's taking place with the website address and telephone number at the end.

Here it is if folks want to waste some time having a look

Yep Mestique that's all I gleaned from it too, pretty poor on info although the place looks nice.
Toddy if there is a skill sharing meet in the South, this side of the border I'd much rather go to that, at least I know what I'd be getting and I'll bet it won't cost me £70 not counting travelling and food.

 

[Aiden _Cub]

i spotted this too and am rather interested in going as it is quite close to me, but i agree that the lack of info is making me somewhat apprehensive. worried about hidden costs and such as money is an issue for me (and many others i imagine)

also those skill sharing meets sound good, might have to mooch around the forum and find one in the NW.

 

[rancid badger]

Toddy if you're thinking of setting up a weekend, particularly that weekend, I'd say go for it!

I've already decided to give this Windermere thing a wide berth.

I'm off that weekend as I've already mentioned and I'd certainly be up for a trip north of the border, especially if there's paddleable water involved

theres a little more info in the mag...gransfor bruks have sponsered the event and you can prebook the forge with them to make a knife or axe head (again no mention of additional costs which i am sure there are) also lars falt is coming over i think the main reason there is not alot of info as its still being planned...

 

[comeonbabylightmyfire]

It sounds interesting but a bit too woolly on the detail. I'd certainly want to know a lot more before I could be persuaded to part with my readies. Ideally a full schedule should have been planned well before advertising the event.

 

[Toddy]

It sounds as though they've gotten the ball rolling and they're hoping it'll pick up momentum as it goes.
I would prefer not to clash dates with someone else's project, but if I don't hear soon, I'll need to book the site and if that's the date that is free, well, sod's law.

cheers,

The thing is; I want to see the terms and conditions

The Sorry no dogs allowed condition on the website means I will probably be giving it a miss.

 

[John Fenna]

It sounds interesting but a bit too woolly on the detail. .

It sounds like the ideal partner to the magazine!

 

[Robbi]

can you take dogs in for the day ? just a walk round the show ?

 

[Lurch]

I seem to recall the first Wilderness Gathering was a bit short on detail on the website, plus I don't remember a whole heap of dogs there either.

 

[Toddy]

Maybe so, but that's what they're competing with. Not as it was, but as it is now.

Folks only have so many holidays, so much money, and, so many things to juggle to arrange to get away.
This isn't a cheap camping weekend, it really would be in their interests to have a bit more activity on the website and a lot more detail coming on line.
Go on Lurch, you're involved in a way, give them a nudge ?

cheers,
Toddy

 

[Lurch]

Will do. The 'new' website is worse than the old. it is in my interests I guess that it be attractive. Though I'd rather be seeing what Lars has to say or watching the Gransfors team than selling stuff... Bills to be paid though.

I'm still bemused as to why this offering seems so much worse than the Wilderness Gathering TBH, camping plus bush related entertainment.

 

[spiritwalker]

i was sold on 3 days break from the family even if i just sit in my tent with a book and peace and quiet i am happy. The fact that there is shops, demos, campfires, guest speakers, and stuff to try out, eat, a **** up just adds to the initial appeal. Its an outdoors show like any other at least its outdoors and not all the way in london.

 

[Mang]

Possibly the no dogs rule is because it's usually an outward bound centre (YMCA still I think)...I know, I went there as a kid and recently found the literature about my trip from the early 80s! Personally, I hope it does well for them as they have a great site and to get Lars and GB to come is a feather in their cap.

 

[bigandy]

i have sent inwood a pm.hopefully he will be able to shed some officiall light.

 

[Robbi]

i know the no dog rule for camping over the weekend, but does anyone know if you can take a dog in just for a walk round on one day ?

this would make it or break it for me as we are on a walking holiday based in the area that week with the dog
