I have to say that the banter in this thread is well worth it; keep up the good work chaps[/QUOTE
Thankyou Stringmaker, when you are dealing with highly trained survival experts contemplating a test of this magnitude, some of these athletes like to flex their muscles.
But i have learned in all my years as Events and Fund Raising Manager, that these very honed individuals need to let off a bit of steam, better now on the forum than when the serious business starts.
I have made it quite clear that, i will not tolerate in house bickering, because once these guys reach the rendezvous point, that is it for 48 hours! It's going to be tough guys.
But thankyou for your support and kind words, i will pop a sponsorhip form in the post, alternitavely BFC, do take payment by card over the phone, once again thanks, and the lovely gesture of a a few family buckets of chicken for the lads, will boost their morale no end.
You will of course be mentioned in dispatches, and have your name printed on the stifficates.

I bet in the time lapse Webster has consumed my bodyweight in food found within a short distance from wherever he does what he calls laughingly work
The cheese was a mistake I admit. I should have blamed the badgers again

Seeing as you weigh about as much as a fag paper, that's not very much at all...

Sounds about right for Steve ,last weekend after procuring a shoulder of venison and ingredients for a wild mushroom risotto I found myself sticking my axe in my knee , whilst this made me feel slightly miffed I was ordered to lie down and rest for a while by redandshane and thebiglowboski and young dan , they then cooked the magnificent feast ,waited for me to fall asleep and then scoffed the lot leaving me injured and hungry .
Interesting! Whilst walking in the woods the other day, i found this, some poor mad mountain biker, with the same affliction as Redandshane, must have been whizzing down the track when this fell off.
So to make your stay more comfortable Steve, you can have it, use it as a woodland seat, then take it home and put it on your bike, should stop you gurning around the streets of Bath.
A little explanation for those who don't know.
Steve was born without a bottom, it's just where his legs meet at the top.
You're welcome.

I have treat in store for you Ivan ask Dan He has seen more than any man should
As for Mouses pathetic tale I was hoping he might slip quietly away and I would have had his water filter, Knife and axe everything else would be up for the charity shop-Oh maybe the Dutch Oven as well if i could persuade horsey to carry it for moi

Just for future reference, the charity shop won't take the knife or axe, they might open the cash register though. I'd pre-plan and think of another outlet to get rid. You could just hand them to the Police of course, Mouse seems to like doing that. I think his 'knife' history may contain a sore 'point' or is that a saw point?! Ouch, sorry, taxi, taxi for one! Ha, I should be a sit down comedian.

There is an old boy, who lives a couple of doors down from me, and after monitering him putting washing on the line and taking it back in, sometimes when a bit strange, i tackled him, only turns out he is the weather oracle!
So i asked him today, what we had in store for the meet, i can't type broad Devon, but he said it was going to be bleddy cold and we would get a spattering of snow, then said ask me a bit closer buy and i should be able to tell ee!

Sounds like the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind!
Does he only do shorts weather prediction or does he do long johns prediction too?

I have a bit of a fixation on the old guy (not in a sexual way you understand) But when he wanders out i have started to take notice of his attire, this has been a 15 month study and the old codger is nearly always right, i have noticed that when he takes his washing in, the neighbours either side quickly follow suit, i have been caught out too many times, not anymore!
Very Dylanesque.

The proof will be revealed closer to the event.
The poof will be revealed, what, out of the closet? Oh sorry, misread. You better watch out for 6' squirrels hiding their nuts under the snow before the show, secret stores and all that. Snow makes finding sweet chestnuts etc a little more difficult, that should slow Mouse down.
okenest: Someone is going to get told to buzz off. If it snows then I don't think he will get enough traction to get out. 
How good is Nutmeg as a sled dog?
If it snows, the webster will bring his 4 wheeled beast to town us all out. Only problem is, he needs to leave by tomorrow morning to arrive in time for the challenge.
I set off last friday and am en-route as I type. With any luck the old girl might make it by next Saturday
