Keep it away from my girlfriend, I don't want any hair on her chest

 

[Imagedude]

I'll be there for the core days, I'm all packed ready bar my new Hawaiian shirts...

 

[sunndog]

just a randon question that popped into me noggin, how many attened the moot on average?

 

[tim_n]

Limited to 300... Though once you're out of the main areas you'd not know anyone was on site

 

[sunndog]

300 is a bloody good turn out for a forum meet up in anyone's book

reading the comments about space and cutting green wood it must be a good sized site....might have to make a note in me diary for next year

 

[tim_n]

I don't think I've even walked the edges yet

 

[Dreadhead]

I'm on the fence about this one, I really wanted to make it! anyone leaving from/passing through Birmingham on there way to the moot by any chance?

 

[pom3]

Right.....finally got the tickets booked. Me and the fat ginger one will be there

The site is 100 acres of mainly woodland, it's on a 3,500 acre private estate, it's right with the second largest sand dunes in Europe (I think that's right) so there's plenty of space there. We limit the numbers to around 250 and we limit it by advertising through bcuk only, we don't turn people away if they turn up which is why some years there's more people there.
There's a lot of pressure to allow it to grow into a bigger event but it has a unique atmosphere and freedom about it that we want to keep and we've managed to do that for the most part, for over a decade.
It's a fairly unique gathering.

Well kit prep / buying bits & pieces anyway; then it all gets assembled under the stairs, then finally into the car. Experience shows that it's too knackering doing it all in one go!

Ticket finally bought ( whole shebang ) and I'm planning a photo workshop and show on one of the evenings.

Maybe a photo trip off site on one of the camping days as well.

Hooked by George's recent blog - I'll be there from the 4th and am looking forward to meeting folks, learning and teaching - I'm signed up for the Bhutanese Bow making and Coastal Hunter Gatherer. Thanks George

 

[Tengu]

Im coming.

 

[BigMonster]

Unfortunatelly I'm working my rump off during the week so can only do stages every weekend.

Ticket purchased, train fares payed. "Kit box" out and gutted.
This weekend I'm washing all clothes and looking after my boots. Sunday night everything on the list must be found/cleaned/checked and ready to pack.

Next weekend packing and food shopping.

CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 12 MONTHS ALREADY!!!
