Hey fella
What are your questions? Best to put them on here rather than PM as other may have the same questions as Gary says.
and we would love you to come to the meet,as far a group cooking goes we usually end up making our own but usually too much so end up sharing it round the fire lol

Well the rains kept me in this arvo so here's a few q's. How far is the walk-in, as well as personal kit on my back, I'll bring a canvas tarp and other cooking kit/extra food/water if access from my van is feasible. Re. the fire, what's the crack with wood ? I often bring extra wood 'just in case' when going to unknown camps but again only if near the van. I can bring a chainsaw if needed (have the ticket). Oh yeah I take it we don't share a latrine so will make my own plans ? 
Hi chaps
in answer to Cahrlifoxtrot's questions:
* there is a carpark on the site that is about 100 yards fro the woods, however the woods are pretty big and as such the walk can vary. We normally set up quite close to the carpark so not far to take kit etc.
*Wood - there is plenty on dead standing wood about, most can be collected as deadfall. The offer of the chainsaw is nice but without organising with the camp as to which trees can go and which should stay etc. we can't really take anything unless its dangerous to leave it. however if you want to bring your own supply noone will argue lol
*Toilets - there is a toilet block onsite that offers urinals and 5 flushing loo's (also power showers!!) so latrines wont be needed.
Hope this answers your questions
Any others let me know

just turn up fella
Although anyone coming onto site needs to find me and announce themselves please.
If you can let me know how many nights you're staying and pay me at this point that would be great also as it saves me chasing people throughout the meet
Thanks
Dave

Hey,
I noticed that on the rules for the July meet it says no ground fires. Does that still stand? Also, seeing as there are toilet facilities and the like, is there access to drinking water too?
Cheers

Hi Merrygold
Yeah the rules for ground fires still stand, the ground is made up of compacted leaf mold. so all fires need to be off the ground, there are hearths dotted around the place though so these can be used also.
There is also drinking water on the site (tap on the side of the toilet block)
Thanks Dave
