Hi Guys and Girls

I've been in contact with Anne over at Giants seat and the only dates that she has available in July are 27th - 29th of July.

I have booked these dates.

Same setup as last time £5 per night per person, we are entitled to any deadwood for our fires but they must be raised as there is a lot of leaf mould.

The camps post code is M26 1EW have a look on google maps. There is plenty of room for hammockers as well as tents and ground dwellers.

Please ad you name to the list by copying and pasting

Thanks

Dave

Riam did some wood spirit carving tutorial the last camp, if anyone would like to do a skill sharing session that would be great. Maybe a firecraft session with different fire lays and/or friction fire lighting techniques .

Let me know

I'm definitely interested. I'll have to confirm that the dates with the boss first.

I'll let Riam and Bud know about the dates and I've got a few other mates who are interested in trying out a bushcraft camp.

I'll have a think about a project

I'll be there for this one, now I've got a new car. (One that's big enough to get everything in!) Sharon and the kids will probably be there as well.

For skill-share, I could do something first aid related, or traps, snares and nets (not live, obviously).

First aid subjects that spring to mind are control of bleeding, or treatment of fractures.

If you think people would be interested, I'll need a few days notice to make sure I've got all the kit I need.

That sounds good Alan something along the line of first step first aid as such.

I think anyone would be up for that maybe on the saturday around lunch? That way everyone will be there and all setup etc

I'm going to send a few PM's later to the usual group and make sure they are aware
