Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Think I was actually pipped on that one in the end LOL.
Is it good,I was thinking of getting but I didn't know if there is a better alternative in that kind of price range.
Yeah, it's a worthy tarp for the price. It's light and has plenty of mounting point (19) and is cheaper than the tatonka.
After much micky taking of my club/digging stick/rounders bat/shovel/spoon, I have reduced it down to....sensible...proportions.
And as for your end of things, they make it all worth while haha
Hello everyone, wow ! great response already , you gluttons for punishment ! While i am here , can anyone think of anything that can be done to improve the site/meet /facilities etc, for instance Freddyfish suggested an inventory so people know whats available , man just thinks on his feet ! I dont mind constructive comments good or bad , its the only way i am going to get it right ,Freddy kindly said anyone who did not want to air their views etc in the public domain , can PM him and if he feels it wont make me cry he might pass the messages on , many thanks you guys !!

tarmac the paths, on-site shop, oh and a nightclub would be good, complete with go-go dancers if you dont mind
in all seriousness, i would say nothing, the beauty of your site is its natural state, the (as it is, minimal) need to adapt what you have and your environment (my loo pit digging and tarp rigging exercise for example..... some my think that sad, but i enjoyed doing it)
for me, if i was to turn up and have everything "laid on" so to speak, i would soon get bored... though of course, if there are those that want things laid on, then please recruit me to your working party to do such things
i nearly cried when i realised i turned up too late to help with the ground oven
I very nearly typed similar - ie, the 'keep it simple'.
The fact that you are able to provide a woodland that acts like a blank canvas for us all, is enough.

196 miles each way. pretty sure someone got to nearly 300 though lol, and thanks for the spoon comment. It still needs some final finishing but it's getting there slowly haha
Everything was perfect mate. I think the rapid response for "more, more, more" has proven that.
I do think you should charge people for carting their kit on the quad though, would make them pack lighter for that more bushcrafty experience LOL.
we did 225 miles, although that was with a slight detour around Yeovil to pick up bushwhacker
See? beaten already by you two LOL. I'll have to drive to suffolk to pic up casey, that should help regain my title for most travelled
Hey wait a cotton picking minute !! I know i shoul win shortest traveller only 1.2 kms dont know what that is in old money , but i went up and down 186 times does that count ? and is there a prize ?
That does it , i am now not afraid to try my first spoon , and i am changing my image , i bumped into an old school chum today, and he thought i was wearing a grey swimming hat !!
'ere savage that spoon looks bloody good considering you did most of it with a knife...i remember watching you pick up that lump of beech and start whittling away wondering what you were doing...nice finished job
thanks Badg' I still need to sand the hollow but it won't take much. I was knocked into submission when everyone else got their spoons out, I thought.."why is mine so much bigger than theirs?"...LOL
Some people have a cheek don't they? LOL. I bet your spoon will be bigger than mine, as you will need it to lever the quad up the slope/mud slide.
Actually Mr Savage, my spoon will be a delicate affair , for basting the lamb, and it will be made from balsa wood for any upcoming assault course challenge as i intend to go extremely light and win!! and because i will be the numpty putting up the prize , ive seen it and i want it !!
Nova you genius, thankyou , now i have an avitoff!! or whatever its called , wasnt allowed to put the other one on was told i looked like a cross between worzel gummage and compos dad !! charming !
