Hello all,

I hope it's ok to make an intro here. I'm based in Cambs (Cottenham) and looking for chances to get out and learn more bushcrafting skills and just to get out outside more really. I've done a couple of courses and sort of remember my military training from a very very long time ago :)

I had a read through a few pages of messages in this group and was pleased to see there seems to be a fair bit of activity in the Cambs area. Are there many family friendly meet-ups? It would be good to get my girls (8 & 10) out and see if I can't get them to learn some skills too.

Cheers!!!
Robert

Hey everyone… I've been a member for a while, and certainly enjoy reading everyone's post, but because a bit low on gear and transportation and time, haven't been in the woods in many years. When I lived in the US, I went camping often, and genuinely miss it. I'd love to attend one of these get-outs. I live in Luton, however, and would need a bit of help with transportation (and with a bit of gear,) but I'll start following this thread with the goal of participating.

cool?

Nice to here from you. everyone's welcome just no dogs at the mo due to the owners concerns at the March woodland (not sure about the lakes one)

Pleased to hear from you. I can't remember which one it is, but I reckon there's a local group nearer to you

Is there any sort of schedule for the overnighters that you guys do? It would be great to meet others, I've been threatening to do a solo overnighter but just haven't pulled the trigger, I suppose mostly out of not sure where to go for it.

No mate no schedule as yet I don't think it's a bit as and when I've been over to Norwich for an overnighter as I don't have my own permission.
