Calling All Central Scotland Bushcrafters!!

[Grooveski]

I'm up for the 3rd and 4th.

Here's a wee map for folk who don't have that sheet.

 

[PatrickM]

Is this meet just for Bushcrofters or can I come along! 3rd - 4th sounds sweet.

 

[jamesoconnor]

i should be able to make it, i'll just have to suck up and pretend i love my wife etc in between to get away from her over the new year!!

 

[Razorstrop]

If I can wangle it, any chance I could pop up after the New Year meet in the lakes?

Mr Strop

 

[Toddy]

Any problems with day visitors? I worked in the park during the summer so I know where else I can park if it's tight. Probably be three of us, Toddy, Varibo and Bowsayer.
Cheers,
Toddy

[EdS]

Are the dates set for 3/4 then?

Might be able to make depends on birthday options (3 jan) as I promissed to out local- might get out of it.

Will there be room for tents - SWMBO may be intrested, mind you she does winter camp either so it might be b&b with day visits.

 

[stuart f]

Anyone thought about doing demo's or some such like?

CraigM9,

Put me down for 3rd and 4th. I think I'm ok for that date.

Cheers

[Doc]

Nice one JFW - long time no see. Trust the little fellow is well and not giving you too many sleepless nights?



I can bring the Archery target if the Ranger agrees and the terrain feasible.

We will be in for a longish dark evening in early January. I've enjoyed Patrick's tutorials and maybe a fireside teach-in would be possible.
If anyone is interested I can do the suturing tutorial again.
I could also do a tutorial/demonstration on HF radio comms but this is perhaps more 'expeditioncraft' than bushcraft, and tech stuff can detract from the fireside atmosphere.

 

[JFW]

Doc,

thanks for asking, the wee guys doing great and the last couple of nights have been bliss - so here's hoping.
I'v just realised that I am back at work on the 4th, bummer, but will come on the 3rd anyway. I think I will be ok for the end of the month though.

Cheers

JFW

 

[Graham_S]

tutorials aside, i'll be happy just to get out and sit around the fire with friends.

 

[CraigM9]

Thanks for your responses folks and looking forward to seeing you all on the day.

Apologies for not getting site pics yet - I will get round to it (hopefully this week)!

I'll be there on the 3rd from about 10am - see you all then!

Craig.

Hi All,

Just back from my meet and recce with the ranger for our january location at Plean near Stirling. Couldnt get any pics of the site due to the snow so will go back next week!

Dates are:
1. 03/01/06 & 04/01/06
2. 28/01/06 & 29/01/06.

Location:
OS 1:50k Sheet 57 Stirling & The Trossachs
Access Gate: GR82498595 Bivvy Area: GR82568592

General Info:
There is a hard standing about 80 metres from the access point (a gate we will have the key for) which should accommodate about 10 vehicles. Water will need to be brought in and Alan (the ranger) will provide a shed load of logs for the group fire. He will pop down to meet us for a brew and a chat. The site is ok for an overnighter and there are a few surrounding features we can recce too.

Insurance:
Stirling Council will take no responsibility for claims. Alan advised to have your own if your worried about taking your hand off with your SFA!

Group size:
Due to site size it can't be more than 20. So first 20 names to me books your slot!

So all you need to do is confirm and see you then!

Regards,

Craig.

Hi CraigM9, i was just wondering have we reached a total for the amount of people coming to the meet,it might be an idea to get a list of names together just so as to clarify things

 

[stevo]

Just spotted this thread,...........I would like to come to the 28th and 29th, are there any spaces left?

If so, is there anyone travelling there from the edinburgh area travelling by car, who may have space for one more....more than happy to contribute petrol cash. If not, how else are people getting there?

cheers
