No fear dude! I too am a lone camper, and although I will initially give the impression of being an unsociable git, by making camp away on my own, I will definatly be joining the camp fire chat and evening socializing! Being on the raspberry!

YAY! I keep looking at the Sussex meet a wonder if i could rope a nanna into looking after the wee ones for a night as wifeys away on course for the next two weeks. bummer.
Hey Southey, i noticed you refer to hound of the baskervilles, if you are bored waiting for april 1st ,sir arthur conan doyle wrote that very book where i live look up hayford hall, spooky eh ?
All i can say is WOW! what a beautiful place to be.hound of the Baskervilles is the main reason I love Dartmoor so much, all that tramping about and mystery. brilliant.
In fact, if any of the Dartmoor crew want to google stuff around where they are staying ,some short bimbles and some a bit longer , chalk ford,huntingdon warren, red lake,avon dam,pupers hill,and shipley bridge , nearest villages are scorriton and holne, sorry cant be bothered with capitals and punctuation but you get the gist.
The walk upto Avon dam is stunning almost like a jungle trail, but with a path, and coaches of old peeps, so not very much like the jungle.but still well worth the jaunt.
Some good areas to walk round there - have wandered around lost on a number of occasions. Mst get myself booked on a nav course......
That's a fine trowel! did any one guess?
EDIT: if any ones interested I'm David Southey on face book.
Humm... is this something you are making? I thinking of having a go at an under-blanket or maybe a cocoon. Do you have any plans?
