I know two guys who cancelled /altered wedding plans to go to this bash!

Cheers,

[Wayland]

It'll be the first big Hastings I've missed in 20 years but I just can't face the journey these days.

 

[The Joker]

Im looking forward to the meet .............Cant say the same about the drive up though .........It'll be worth it

 

[Eric_Methven]

As far as the cooking workshop goes, I really don't think I'll be super fit enough to do all that I planned. I was really hoping to make this a lazy long weekend this time so I can get over the surgery properly. No probs if anyone else wants to run it, I'll lend a hand when needed, but bulk cooking, ground ovens, baking bread and all the rest of the programme I first suggested isn't going to happen. I'd just like to chill out with good company and a bottle of Glen Tesco single malt. I hope nobody was coming up just for the cookery workshop.

P.S. John and Graham, I have your leather flasks finished. I'll bring them up with me (plus a few spares).

woo-hoo!

i've been looking forward to getting that

 

[Doc]

Well, I am already looking forward to this one. Should be an excellent meet.

Achray is a good spot for learning canoe and I am sure that anyone who wants to try it will have ample opportunity. I will have my Nova Craft Bob Special and there will no doubt be four or five others with canoes, so it's quite feasible to have ten folk out on the water at a time. Wind might be an issue - things can get interesting much over force 4....

I doubt very much that midgies will be a serious nuisance. (I know I'm going to regret saying that.....)

Josh - could you bring the kids glassfibre recurve bow that we left at the last meet?

Magikelly - would it be possible for you to bring your children-sized bouyancy aids/paddles?

Sunset is going to be about 6.20pm, and the site is quite shaded, so will be pretty dark after 7pm. I guess that means more time for malt by firelight.

 

[jamesoconnor]

I will have my nova craft prospector with me so anyone is welcome to use it. I will also bring along a spare medium size boyancy aid along with my xlarge one.
If anyone needs it too I can also bring along a spare hammock, midge net and reindeer skin for anyone who would like to try out sleeping in a hammock like us sensible one's!!

 

[The Joker]

Is there any one else from down south who wants to share the driving with me..............Please

 

[MagiKelly]

I will have my nova craft prospector with me ....

And three duluth packs

 

[jamesoconnor]

And three duluth packs

Yes, these too.

 

[Graham_S]

it's going to be fun.
i've got a bottle of mead than needs drinking. i've been saving it for the meet.

 

[Goose]

It looks like it will be a good one! Can't wait, I have got official permission now I will be bringing Jodie(my daughter) and a mate (my mate not Jodies!)

 

[Grooveski]

Josh - could you bring the kids glassfibre recurve bow that we left at the last meet?

Awww. My TV watching bow.
I'll miss it .

Quick reminder. Any toys of mine lying around are fair game. Don't wait for me to come back from a paddle/walk in the wood/drive into callander/emerge hung over from hammock/etc to ask permission.

Scuba Pete - I'll be going up on Friday morning, back monday evening. If that suits you then a lift is no bother.
[P.S. for S.P. - If you happen to be about 5'10 - 32" waist, can I borrow a wetsuit? ]

 

[Grooveski]

John, could you pop Scott onto the list as well please? He made a hammocking comment so guess he'll be trying it out.

Goose, cheers for the offer.
You need to clear out some PMs mate. This's getting bounced saying you've exceeded your space.

 

[Scuba Pete]

I will let you know about the lift. I will try my best to make it. As I mentioned its my birthday that weekend, so I dont know what going to happen.

I missed the last one, I dont want to miss this one but my life is all up in the air at the moment

Don't worry about it, I've been missing mine for years.
Look at it this way if you miss your birthday you can't get any older.
I keep telling people I'm only 21 for years, but they don't believe me
