Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Gear Guru,
I have no problem with youngsters coming - i dont recall the language being too fruity last time (so long as we stay off the grills and Mears topic!)
All i would say i suppose is that there isnt that much to keep her occupied - unless she is happy in our little camp and of course there are lots of sharps about - but then i expect her to be used to that!

Guys to clarify - im assuming most people will be charged £6, ie unless you come late saturday and leave sunday morning, even though its only a one night (no one has said anything about wanting to come down friday to me yet). I still think is exceptionally good value - for those that have not been there are showers and toilets included in that.
Had confirmation from the site now too so it is all go go go!!!
Im planing on having a bit of a whittle so if anyone does happen to come across any green logs sufficient for kuksa's etc it appreciate that. Otherwise maybe some knife handle work or maybe even a bow...
Oh and trying out the new gillie kettle

Trying out my new fire stand grill from those two oven doors I aquired.
New homemade tree huggers for my hammock/tarp butchered from an old foam bag.
And some tiny sharps made from a clock makers tool kit that I'd like to try out on detailed carving!
Same spot as last time booked Tim? I'll get the communial tarp up.. Hopefully a bit more stable this time!!

Yes its the same spot - to those who have not been there before it is through the carpark (please park up tight it isnt very big) and left along the path past the shed/buildings and toilet then carry on to ur left and there is a fire scar and some big logs. - thats us (if wolfcrafter is there he has a nice big tarp which needs more than one person to put up - hint hint..for the early comers since i cant be there)
Time; i had antisipated being there from 10:00 unfortunately i have to be somewhere in the morning :-( but will turn up about mid day. The site manager may turn up wanting some money - be nice to him (Tony, he popped over last time too)!
See you all there!

thanks for that Tim, will aim to be there around 10, unless Wolfcrafter is getting there earlier and wants a hand with the tarp??
Whittler Kev
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Hope it's a good weekend for you all. Shame I've got the wedding and then the hols booked.
I've been playing again as I've been lent a gas forge indefinitely

doh!!! why do I listen to weather forecasters - what do they Know!! Hope you had a good time guys - Im miffed i didn't join you!!
Brill weekend guys, mainly chatting from my end all day, good to see my raised fire alter used finally on its first test run, some tweeks required for next time! Cheers for the mixed wood selection Tim, and the fine company Lee (Eel28)! Very shocked the sun came out mid day, I know what you mean Guru about the rubbish weather men, they got it SSoooo wrong!!
Well although i rather like these little meets, to give us more chance at getting a couple more there next time lets start with the dates, come on suggestions welcome.
Also we dont have to meet at this site i know Kev has mentioned a couple of other ones, (i think they dont have facilities - im sure some people prefer that, they probably dont have kids building bonfires either so may be more chance for tracking and other more bushy activity) so lets try and get a bit more going on here. There are such a variety of interesting folkes that pop in and out of here!
As an aside (and probably should be another post), are there people that might be interested in a leatherworking workshop? im just after interest at the moment to see if enough people want one to make it worth setting it up and booking a room and someone for a day to give a little guidance. Im hoping to get it to be sub £50 but it does depend on the material costs and the venue etc.
