Not sure here either, as Squirt has shown an interest in going up to Town to watch the Chinese New Year stuff. Sigh.
Shame as I have a pile of tinder bits - cramp balls, reedmace heads, birch bark etc. to experiment with, plus that lump of pyrite that I'd promised Nick.
Never mind, there's always next time.
Ought to mention, we had a day with Hannah (Natural Pathways) couple of weekends ago and she was asking about some of the stuff in the camp area? I gather that some of the bits may belong to them (don't know which) so you might find she's taken them back. I guess the best thing would be to speak to Libby about what's what as it was just a passing conversation at the end of the day (and yes, it rained!!).
If we don't make it tomorrow have a good day peeps & we'll see you next time.

Thanks C.o.W.
I think there are some chopping blocks that belong to Natural pathways
I will speak with Libby - at this rate there may not be anyone else to talk to
Mike
Awwww bless...
Now don't you go accidentally knocking over the carefully constructed debris shelter we made will you?

Hi Mad MIke,
What type of things do you intend to do at the meet?
I normally go to the overnight Bucks Meets, but I'm not sure what you guys get up to.
As I am based near Ashford it would seem to make sense to come along and say hello
Best regards,
Phil.

Need to check a few commitments & get back to you, but a tentative yes is in order I think.
Nick, I've got some pyrites for you to play with, and some other bits & bobs for tinder/firelighting experiments. If we can make it, I bring it all along. Then maybe someone can teach me the rudiments of the bow drill (I'd like to make one).
Will see what wild foragables are to be had to bring them along too.

Hi TMKTC
There is quite a bit of woodland to walk around, lots should be growing by then
We do a lot of cooking , eating , drinking. Firelighting , sharpening & carving etc
lots friendly banter , also wearing hats is popular.
from above posts trying to get sparks from pyrites is on the cards along with some knots
What would you like to do ? How about firewood chopping practise
bring along one of those shirts you like so much we are always comparing kit
Mike
Hi Mike,
Sounds great. Be nice to come along and put some faces to names
I'm happy to just turn up and muck in.
What time do people tend to start arriving?
Cheers,
Phil.

Pretty well same as last time
Set for Sunday At Little Hall Pinetum
9:00 for 09:30 site closes at 06:00pm
Canterbury OS map TR150605
Entrance is up the private road to Alcroft Grange
On the left past Little Hall Farm in the woods
Picture of car park is posted in the gallery
the public right of way paving is distinctive
& there is no height barrier
A Warden will be there on the day , we will all have to sign to
agree to behave - nothing unreasonable activities limited to
certain areas but free to walk around the whole site.
No mains water on site so I suggest you bring some
water in stream looks OK to filter & boil but is a distance
from were fires are allowed.
£5 donation to pinetum per person
max 20 people ... any takers
Sorry peeps, seems I'm double booked so no pyromaniac's playtime this month! Will have to catch up with you all next time around, but have a good one.
Hi everyone, it's been a while
I should (hopefully) be able to make this one, haven't been for a while so quite looking forward to it.
