All packed and ready to chuck the kit in the jeep later when it dries up a bit :)

I'll have a couple of spare mora clippers and mora bushcraft forest, and a svord peasant folder to move on if any one is tempted, and a spare cooking pot too !

Some guidance from Andy re arrangements to keep in mind please :) :-

No felling of trees !
Spread ourselves out well when setting up our sleeping arrangements, there's a whole wood to use if wanted so no need to be jammed together.
Similarly, don't set up next to or on the main camp fire area, although it's tempting as there are some reasonably clear areas there, leave it clear for access and daytime/evening use.
There is some hazel and vegetation that screens the camp fire area from the public footpath that runs behind, please don't cut anything from that so as to keep the screening intact as far as possible.
If the odd hazel rod is needed the best area is along the edge of the field, although be sparing and don't cut lots from the same stool.

Think that's it, should be a fun weekend, once the rain stops ! :)

Cheers, Paul

A great chilled out weekend, good to catch up with everyone and to meet Ryan and Matt (hope Pete is recovering okay, let him know he missed a good one :) ).

Many thanks to Sean for the great dinner yesterday, and to Andy for the use of the site for the weekend, much appreciated.

Cheers, Paul
