Hey SRC,
If your talking about the science museum in london, then its only a day affair. You would be more than welcome to call in, either after and pitch up for the night or just for the day on sunday? At £3 a day it might be worth thinkign of, but up to you.
Be nice to meet some more folkes.
As an aside we need someone to step up and arrange the next meets - i am going abroad for at least 2 months and may not be coming back (fingers crossed) so unlikely to be booking these for the future, it loks like there are quite a few people interested around the area and be a shame to let it dwindle.
cheers
Tim

And guess who's been booked there last week and this week as a consultant?Hiya Cambridge dudes
Quick heads up that SWMBO just pointed out to me
St Ives college are doing a whole range of courses but of particular interest to us is, basket weaving with willow. Fisrst one is 12/2/11 then another on 21/5/11. They are one day each from 1000-1700 and cost £40.00
I am away for the first one, (sand again) but here for the May one and will be doing that.
I can't do the 12 Nov as it is weekend b4 I go away
Cheers

No worries tim, give us the details on Sat and we'll talk then!.. Shame your off so soon, hope you'll pop back every now and then!.. Arranging a trip to Norway for next season!! Can't wait! (might be Finland though depending on variables!)
Kev - how is the consulting going? Are you now about this weekend or planning to be at the Norich meet?
As for trips to Norway Wolf (and others) i am hoping, that i will have someplace to do my own workships/camping etc small scale but consider it an open invite!

Going good. The teacher I'm supporting has gone from a grade 4 to a grade 2 in a week (still someway to go but getting there)
I'm going to Norwich on Saturday but may be able to get to Cambridge Sunday. If so I'll bring some new toys to show

I take it the meet is still on? Be good to catch up with Tim and wolfcrafter and the rest of the gang. gonna use an underblacket(ponch liner) on my hammock to see if that works okay. I hope its not to cold. Tim got the big kettle as promised last time so we will not have any problems making a brew for the whole gang.
See you all then
Cheers

Big Lavvu - Much appreciated, i will be looking at it with much interest might be looking for something broadly like iit - not quite sure as yet.
I will try to be on the site by 10.00, i assume everyone knows where it is - if youve not been there before the turning can creep up on you!
Reminder please for people to have money and pay upfront then i can give the money to the warden - saves him having to cash a cheque later on!
Anyone got things/projects they intend to have a go at?
Looks like saturday will be decent weather but a little damp sunday

Redwood - more the merrier.
Wolf i might see if i can borrow folkes to help me make a few bits and peices - but we see how it goes..sycamore is a good wood for carving, nice and easy and food friendly too!
Talking of food i can bring some fry up type gubbins for sunday brunch (bacon and sos), was thinking of doing some soda bread, but think i have to many ideas and not enough time. Could do a combined stew etc saturday evening so i will bring some fresh stuff and see what we can cobble together.
Ill be heading home to see the boxing sat night (yeah i know i never camp!) so can bring any supplies needed on sunday.
Shame you cant make it gearguru (chris) have fun in Wales, canoing does sound nice too!
final plea if anyone does have some reasonable (Kuksa) sized bits of green wood please bring along - i am all out! although have some oak if anyone wats some bits of longship ;-)

on the offchance someone sees this and can put their hand on it - i could do with a full size hacksaw... have missplaced mine...
Got mine in the car to use the weekend Tim! (got DIY to do Monday!)
I am doing a fish soup/stew sat night, I'm trying to repeat a recipe we done at North Wood meet that was the best iv ever tasted!! You could buff that out with more stuff.. Or keep em separate if people don't like fish.. Def room for loads to cook on my Fire Alter!!
Got the Sycamore for just that purpose, a bowl/plate that doubles as a chopping board!! Almost complete, just a bit more love required!! :0)

Got some wood today, a bootfull!!! A lot is greenish and maybe have a Kuksa size in fruit wood, may be too small though. A lot good for burning too. Will arrive probably late morning if I can find the place! Passport and driving license(both parts) good enough ID? Bringing way too much stuff what with Lavvu, Polish mini Lavvu and backup in case Polish thing leaks!
Great Lewis, right, as you turn off the A11 onto the A1307 Eastbound, go past the first turning on right (services) take the second right half a mile down. (Abingtons, high st) Couple hundred yards, a sort of T junction where the high st bares left, take the right hook into church lane. The next left is church close, (that's a dead end coal-de-sac with bungalows, don't take that) but about 25 yards on the left after church close is the narrow site enterance, dirt track and a little scout logo to lookout for!
Easy really!! ;0)
