not much good for fires mate, bit of a risk as im sure we will have one going for a while......
March Brockwell meet 19/20
- Thread starter lannyman8
- Start date
oh yeah,...never thought,....
it just looked cosy thats all,....
well further down then ,,..nearer the central track,....thats closer to the brick place too int it,...
how you like Stu im easy, you need to be out of the wind really if your ground dwelling though and that side get it big time.......
Going to have to bail on this one too now guys - sorry, bit gutted but these things happen.
never mind mate, there will be another in a month or 2, we could always meet up 1 weekend im free, have a mooch / brew round your way, or have a drive up to Osmotherly or Over Silton......
your close to me so its a thought.....
best thing is,...if were lightwieght, to have a proper trek around and pick somewhere suitable,....
my fave part is visualizing the camp and picking a good spot,...
after all,.it becomes home for a couple o days dunt it,....
We've got some decent woods down the road for Birch tapping and fungi spotting/collecting - but no wild camping allowed. There's a couple of good pubs nearby too.
Stu, that sounds good, i will have 3 others with me though....lol.....
mountainm, we could have a bimble up at Over Silton then, walk across the moor do a loop then spend some time in the wood have a brew and some bread etc etc...
will have to talk dates some other time though, i need to check the roster......

Just taken delivery of an Alpkit Skyehigh 600 and Alpkit Base 120, so I'm well pleased. Unless something incredibly important comes up in the meantime i.e. my arms fall off or a close family member combusts for whatever reason, I'll be there. Is it just the £8 for the camp site or do we need to pay subs too?
coooool, another Brockwell virgin....lol
cant wait got a new tarp...lol....
I get excited every month. I'm on a weight saving drive so I'm looking at titanium cookware for next month. Can't wait for that either.
just looked at my tarp and yep......its crap..... gutted... mind u £10 is not allot but still a money not well spent.....
What make is it? I have a Highlander which is 8' x 5' and weighs 450g, a DD Tarp which is 10' x 10' and weighs 650g and what I think is a British Army Basha which is about 8' x 5', but weighs a massive 1kg. If you want to try the Highlander or the Brit Basha out for size I can bring them along. I'm going to be using the DD. You may need some paracord though, or some steel rope if you want to try the Brit monster.
Big thanks to Raikey for offering me and my mate a lift up. Very gratefull!

dont know what brand it is, it was from the "evil bay" thought it was a better material is all. its like the blue ponud shop ones, the weaved nylon type crap that leaks and splints, i only got it because its 2.7m x 3.5m.....
i have about 4-5 issue ones but they are just a tad too small for me as im 6.3"......
never mind hey
im just staying the Saturday night, the kids have school on friday or i would have gone down then, i will just be going down early doors Sat morning...
DEFO, have a chat when i see you mate, what you want to do the "long term" prospects of it etc......
if you can get 9 acres ow wood to play in thats awesome, way better than my "0" acres of nothing....
speek soon dude......
