Giants Seat meet 19th - 21st April, Sign Up

[DaveBromley]

Yes phaestos get use to a bivi set up ... but only if you want to tho,Dave Bromley there will be more trips to the artic and other intresting places in the years to come. I think at least one big adventure a year for me. Dont worry about not being able to make a trip it will give you more time to plan and get gear together for the next one,I am hoping to jump in on your hedrians wall trip but it will just have to be a flying visit mabay just for the weeken. Ive not got many holadays left ...

This is going to be my problem lol 2 weeks for Hadrian's wall another week for bulgaria (with any hope) and then misc days for camping and thats next years hols gone already lol.

Looking at a week in 2015 to bike the trans pennine trail, the full trail is 315 miles so should be good. then looking at an Arctic trip (with you guys hopefully) i want to do a lot more 1 nighters and traveling camps too this year and next, so limiting kit and gaining skills. I also want to have a crack at canoeing this year, hoping that it will open a lot more doors for getting to harder to reach places in the future.

Be good to share time outdoors with likeminded people, this will be my first time participating in bushcraft with others. Looking forward to it. Also i'll be driving alone, so willing to give a lift to others if needed.

Be great to see you there mate. I think Phaestos' first bushy camp with others was at Giants Seat. The Manchester lot are a good down to earth group that have little time for snobbery and such. Just dive in and get yer hands mucky !!

Looking good

Im travelling from Crewe, I looked at getting the train but driving would work out cheaper, plus could share the cost for their section of the journey if someone happened to need a lift. Anyone needing a lift between Crewe and the location of Giants seat, please dont hesitate to send me a message.

Just had a chat with one of the lads from work about swapping shifts so I can do this weekend..... In the words of the Dragons Den....

I'm IN!!

 

[C4rn1fex]

I've read the original thread and can't find anything regarding cost(might be blind). I came to the Middlewood meet last year and I remember we chipped in about a tenner each.
Any info?

Hi guys,

Still unsure due to work, but if possible would you mind a beginner coming along? I'd be coming with Phaestos.
