Herts/North London meet

Hi Mesquite

Could you add me to the reserve list please. Don't know if I'll be able to make the meet in September as I'm planning a trip to Scotland around about the same dates.

But if I can register my interest, and I'll keep an eye out for future meets.

Good news!!!

I've got approval from the landowner for us to use the woods for a meet and even better news is he's not too fussed with numbers attending. So those that were on the reserve list are able to come along as well

I'll keep the list closed as we've 14 who expressed interest originally and anyone else who would like to go on a new reserve list please shout out. Those of you who are on the main list please can you confirm you're able to come along and I'll alter the main list. The weekend will be from 3:00pm Friday 19th September until 3pm Sunday 21st September. Once I've got confirmations from all those that wish to come along I'll PM you exact details of location etc. If you don't confirm by the 9th September I'll offer your space up to the first person on the reserve list.

The wood is in the Watford/Rickmansworth area and is approximately 14 acres of primarily larch plantation interspersed with various decidious trees. It's about 10-15 minutes from the M25 as well. There's plenty of suitable trees for the hammock dwellers, also, there's plenty of fallen wood and loads of flint free for collection. There's several nice river walks nearby as well if you fancy going for a bimble.

EDIT: I forgot to add that there are absolutely NO facilities at the woods. Please make sure you bring enough water with you and I'll try and sort out a latrine pit

CONFIRMED LIST
Mesquite + 1 Friday and Saturday
benp1 Friday and Saturday

NOTE:
Can you please indicate when you confirm if you're staying for one or two nights. If it's only 1 please say which it will be, either the Friday or the Saturday. It's just that there is a fair bit of interest and if you're staying just one night another person could take the other night

 

[benp1]

great work, thanks mate. i'm definitely in!

is there a fee for staying etc?

 

[Mesquite]

great work, thanks mate. i'm definitely in!

No fees, but I'll probably take a small donation off of everyone to buy the landowner a bottle of something nice for letting us stay.

EDIT: Also the contribution will go towards covering the cost of me having to get a combination lock for the entrance gate. That will save me having to drive the half mile or so to open up each time someone arrives

 

[rat pac]

definitely in mate well be a good weekend

No Probs at all

Just to note folks, those of you that have to indicate you're wanting to come along can you also state if you're staying for 1 or 2 nights. If it's just the one night please say which night it will be so I can offer the other night up to another person.

Glad to hear it RK, you going to be staying the two nights?

 

[Mesquite]

I forgot to add that there are absolutely NO facilities at the woods.

Please make sure you bring enough water with you for the weekend and I'll try and sort out a latrine pit. Might be a bit basic but we'll have somewhere to go at least

Just a bump to remind those folks who haven't confirmed as of yet if they're going to come along to let me know.

The other thing is do we want to have a social group meal on the Saturday night? What do people think about that and if you would like to have a group meal what are we going to cook?

Also, a couple of folks have kindly volunteered to do a couple demos if people would like this. Things offered are bird traps, cordage, shelter building (though there isn't that much suitable leaf litter laying around in the wood) and a couple other bits and bobs. Is there anything particular that people might like to do while we're in the woods? If there is speak up and we'll see if one of the others attending might be able to help out.

 

[Mesquite]

Just wanted to let anyone who might be interested that there's 4 spaces going spare on the Friday night.

I've offered 2 to Ski as he's already on the waiting list but if you'd like to join us for a night then please say so and I'll add your name to the list

There may be more spaces (Saturdays included) once I've heard back from the people who are yet to confirm.

Hi there. I've posted about a N. London / S. Herts meet in the past, and would love to come along next time. I live in East Barnet.

Cheers

Michael.

 

[Mesquite]

would love to come along next time.

Be glad to have you along on the next one Michael.

The little wifey has told me she's away in December and I was thinking of doing a Christmas meet for any brave and hardy souls that might like to.
