Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
If you get stuck, I'm around on friday and have 100ft ( 550 strength ) of the stuff i bought. Although i don't necessarily need it, so it's yours if you get no luck elsewhere
either of your kind offers will make me happy, would prefer full length, so unless you really want to go and see Jasper Freddie, its easiest i guess to take up Badgers offer
but at £10 for 100m, i will be sorting myself with some of strikeforces at some point!
should be over that way the end of the month, have a 50th birthday bash to attend. be nice to see what clearance stuff he has in too so Badger unless Freddie says he is off to strikeforce anyway (and please dont do a special journey), will a fiver be a good swap for your cord?
i'm sure it says somewhere, but im being thick
we still doing the group meal? if so, when and was there anything to bring to chip in?
have to plan feeding the kids, so much to do yet bugger all time to do it
edit: ok, found my answer to part two
see you all friday!

I was planning to bring my own food, but am happy to share what I have if a big feast thing is what everyone is up for
likewise, there is a planned group meal with a ground oven lamb.
im sort of assuming this is on the saturday eve???? will still bring breaky and lunches for sat and sun and a bit extra just in case. will prob eat on the way friday (kids wont last that long, come to that, i struggle!) and again on the way home sunday as will be off mid afternoon as school/work monday
just the "waterproofs/no waterproofs" dilemma now
Friday to Sunday
A damp start to Friday, although becoming reasonably bright and warm later in the day. Sunny spells with showers possible on Saturday, with a chance of some heavier showers Sunday.
so typical british "cant make its blinking mind up" weather than :/

Bring waterproofs - we are as it is spring on Dartmoor after all...
Be interesting to see how our tarp setup copes in the wet - we've not encountered wet weather while bushcrafting yet
Did someone say they were bringing a 'chute?

aye to the waterproofs, just with four of us, it means four pairs of trousers, four jackets.. well four of everything and really dont want to bring too much stuff
twas either Jay or Freddie bring the chute, hope someone has a bow to take the cord up over a tree limb (and can i borrow to put the tarp up high too )

No worries I can put those things up with my eyes shut... comes from many nights spent sneeking into guides tents when I was a scout years ago.
