Kent meetup for the new year?

[crushthesystem]

Not sure where, it depends where most people are based, obviously when the snow has let up a bit. If anybody is interested in meeting up then it would be good.

 

[durulz]

Yeah, in theory I'd be up for it.
It all depends on when, of course, but I'm open to the idea.
The North Downs has got to be a good option if you're thinking of an outside meet-up.

 

[crushthesystem]

Well i was hoping to maybe have an overnighter because as yet my history is solo camping in local woodland. I love being alone when i'm out and about but have recently decided to be more sociable and hope to learn plenty of new skills from people.

 

[ocean1975]

Well i would be up for it,but dose anyone have some woodlands(permission) for a meet

 

[durulz]

Ah.
Well, if there was to be a number of people, then what about the Bushcraft Magazine site near Charing? It'll cost £10 each, mind you. But at least it'd be somewhere where a group of people could be without having to 'hide'.

I was thinking the same thing Not been there but i know about it and have seen your post about it

 

[gaf098]

Ill be up for it

 

[crushthesystem]

sounds good to me actually because i was looking thier courses and they looked quite interesting so it would be good to check it out

 

[crushthesystem]

Just one thing is it easy ish to get there by public transport?

 

[durulz]

No, it's just about impossible to get there by public transport, I'm afraid.
If you go on one of their courses then they will come and collect you from a nearby transport point (e.g. Charing train station).
I'm sure if we go ahead with this then someone who lives near you would be willing to give you a lift though.

 

[ocean1975]

Ok we need to make a list for who's interested.Then i supose contact bushcraft magazine for dates and go from there. ocean1975 = andy

 

[crushthesystem]

ok well i'm in if i can get a lift or help actually getting to the site. so put me down on the draft list

 

[ocean1975]

Wot sort of dates are we looking at ie soon or say march time.

 

[crushthesystem]

well february would be good for me but it depends on everybody else.

 

[crushthesystem]

I can't do the weekend around february 20th but any other time would be fine.

 

[Bardster]

I should chime in with this one As Durulz says its £10 a night but I am sure we can sort something out. Mad Mike was up for organising a Wood tools meet up around the same time. Anyway sort out the dates and I'll have a chat with Huw (the owner).
Not a great deal of woodland on the site but enough for a few hammocks. Plenty of room for tents and bivvis. No water on site though (other than the pond and stream) so bring plenty.

New course dates are up on the website and details for the May meet too.

Hey guys, is Little Hall still an active site for us?
Haven't been here for a long while so I've kind of lost touch but it doesn't seem as if you use it any more. Any reason?
