thats great the only downside is it leads to even more people fighting over our limited woodlands but thats just me moning
Me and my son (age 10) are there Friday to Monday. As he's with me we will be camping in a tent rather than wild camping. It would be great to have a beer meet one evening to say hi to fellow members.
Cheers,
Dan.

Well I assume there will be somewhere to buy beer at this event? Because other than that the nearest pub is the Harrington arms which isn't very big at all! Or is it a bring your own type of thing?
I think I saw on their Facebook page that they've got a small local brewery providing liquid refreshment. They did the same thing last year, a good selection of ales and ciders in a beer tent, 'twas good!
Sent from whatever the coolest gadget is these days.
Hi guys
There is evidently a local-produce shop for the basics (bread milk etc) defo a beer tent and entertainment on Sunday night at least.
Activities for everyone - no matter what your interests.
HASTUR - You daft bat! Just did not want to give the wrong impression bearing in mind you are 3 years younger than my son! For everyone's info Hastur has kindly said I can hitch my tent next to his so he can keep an eye on me bearing in mind its my first time camping for over 40 years. I am hoping my 'adopted son' (long story) can also come - he is just starting to 'awaken' to the idea of prepping and bushcraft, and is trying to make his first bow.
BUSHCRAFTSMAN - I am also traveling down on Friday until the Monday.
TENGU - day tickets are £25 - you get to stay until 10.30pm - and the vast majority of activities are free once inside.
It promises to be very interesting - being able to try making your own knife, learning new skills from experts in their field, for me there's the woodland walks, animal tracking, plant identification etc, for the more macho there's archery, ax throwing, skinning and preparing food. Oh, and don't forget the Hog Roast on Sat night (for those meat eaters amongst you), talks from Les Stroud etc.
Sounds as if its made for you guys

so shall we set a night for a meet? I dont know about everyone else but I personally have never met anyone off this site so how will we (the people who this is a first for) know who to meet up with! haha. Is the camping just "anywhere" in the castle grounds or is there designated areas?
I'll be there with the wife, little 'un an new pup. Bringing the circus tent, so no woods for me
Should be good though, can't wait!
