[zeBarOOn]

Catch you next time Joel. Take it easy buddy, and don't get eaten by the bride

Haha! Yeah, I keep inviting her but she's really not that interested in wild camping! I'll keep chipping away at her....

Good work on your website too, good write ups of previous meets (I don't know how you remember to be honest with absinthe...)

Hi Joel , good to hear from you , don't worry there will be plenty of other meets this year , and yes saw Chris pics they are very good ! As re your PM , could you confirm dates , and more importantly Month!

Won't be able to answer til after the weekend , only a load of reprobates are invading and i have to keep them occupied, fed , watered and entertained, takes it out of me you know !

Dave53 , sorry to hear of your car trouble , this is slowly becoming the place to share motoring woes !
Anyway , glad you are able to make it , I will reserve your usual spot , see you Sat pal .

Ivan...

By the way , i have rifled all of Newmans stuff , and olive green suits me !

 

[Mongoose13]

Can't wait for the meet!! I have got a birthday sleepover tomorrow night, so I will get there about half ten on Saturday morning

 

[Ivan...]

Oh No ! come on , who told the Mongoose , about the meet ? Right everybody will have to hide on Saturday morning at about 10.30am , for about 15 minutes , she will sniff about for a while then slide off .

You know the rules , that blooming girl eats us out of camp and home , and never shuts up !

Glad you can make it sweatheart see you on Saturday morning , by the way don't bring your mum up as she wouldn't like it .

Love you lots.

indeed! in those lyrical rhymes of Adam and his Ants..... car car car trouble.... oh yeah


hide and seek on a staurday morning sounds great!


should be with you guys between 3 and 4pm

weather....... chilly but remaining just above freezing (though exposed areas will feel colder), suspect some frost as we are fairly high up, dry with some cloud but also some sun!

i know these things as the cows told me

 

[savagebushcraft]

Remember to calculate your wind chill factors...

 

[jonajuna]

2pm tomorrow buddy. Don't worry, the tent is on the table downstairs lol

 

[Ivan...]

Good Morning ! I thought I would get up early , walk down to the house , feed the animals get a few minute last bits .

COR ! It was a bit nippy last night ! beautiful clear sky , threequarters moon and stars everywhere , hope its a repeat tonight for you .

I will leave my mobile on a rock , where i get signal and will check it often , so if anybody is lost or wants a hand up with something , give me a shout even if i don't hear it i will see a missed call .

Good news ! I thoght i heard a stir from Newman ! low and behold he's alright , turns out he fainted , then faked it to get out of work duties ! Well he actually came round when i was going through his pockets , still i gave him his stuff back , put my own clothes back on and we have made up .

Anyway , got to go back up , you know put out the red carpet and a bit of light dusting, so look forward to seeing you all later.

Its going to be a good one !!!

Yeah valid point there matey - It'll be the Fri 17th to 19th February that we've booked off. Let me know when you can - I know it takes a few days to know how to use a keyboard after an 'Ivan Meet'

If any one else is around those dates it'll be great to catch up.

Have fun all!

Joel

Damp, not silly cold. Warm fire, chilled beer

Sta here at my computer at 23.32 hrs instead of being sat on Dartmoor drinking beer by an open fire and making new friends.

Why?, because my selfish, self centered daughter has let me down again and I can't now make it to the meet.

I'm not bitter about it, but let me just say that hell hath no fury like a father getting his own back.

 

[LRforestschool]

And I am not there either - becasue of car problems. I feel your pain wild thing!

 

[Wild Thing]

Cheers LR

You just know that we'll have to go through reading all of the banter about what happened and suffer all over again because we didn't get there

 

[jonajuna]

Just for those friends missing in action.....

The meet was dire, rain, gales, sub zero temperature. Foxes ate all the food and Katie ran off with all the beer.

So, only missed a miserable weekend

Oh and Ivans jokes were rather poor this time too

My two creations from the weekend. My camp with highly successful first use of hammock and the troll bridge created by Darren and I, with my mate rich in a supervisory capacity! Lol

The "arty" and "atmospheric" (read 'drunken') camp fire shot and rich taking on dusty for the Crown of "camp bone disposal unit"

Another awesome weekend. Met some new friends, weather was kind, communial food was just fantastic. Look out TBL you have serious competition (unless it is just you there and not Paul then you are the best hehe)
Massive thanks once again to Ivan for his perfect hospitality (except wimping out early on Saturday night)
Also anything he posts on here about me is not true
Already looking forward to the next one.
