March Brockwell meet 19/20

[merrygold85]

Mark is pick up about 7 okay for you? Be at the wood for 7:30

I usually struggle to get of bed before half seven, ha, but then again that's for work. Sure, 7 is grand. You can come in for a cuppa fore we head off if you like. Though then we mightn't get there til 7:36 :yikes: haha. I will PM you my number. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Does anyone have any decent bits of flint knockin' about that they would be willing to donate/sell? Would like to do some knapping at home. If not, there might something ?knapable? by the stream.

Jebus, I nearly forgot about booze. Imagine a night with you lot and no booze

 

[andyc54]

Hey up mate good news about the hammock!

Get urself to the nearest builders merchant and buy some rope from there... they normally have loads on selection and say the weights they can handle.
This is the 20m of 6mm stuff i got for about 17p a metre.. not bad price at all!

Btw got the tomahawk near shaving sharp last night cant wait to make a few punji sticks for a bear trap!!!! woop woop

im only joking... if i was to make proper punji sticks i would have to smear my numbers 2's on them like the vietcong.. ouch

Goodluck finding a builders merchants, there should be loads round newcastle and if you see ant builders ask em where the best one is. They everything youll ever need alot cheaper than camping shops or website most of the time

This is what I use. Less bulky than rope and kinder to the tree. Also sold by the metre. http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/allcord-18mm-tape-on-a-reel-p135534
