[Chambers]

Mark, you need picking up mate?

 

[Minstrel]

That's a mighty list you got there Chris...should be a cracker
Looking forward to meeting some new peeps, no to mention renewing old acquaintances.

 

[lannyman8]

i have missed you mate, will be really good to catch up, and cant wait to have a chat about your beach trip.....

 

[ex-member Raikey]

ye i know........

 

[Minstrel]

Chris....unfortunately the beach trip is off... Andy is under the weather with a nasty kidney problem; I wouldn't wish his couple of bouts with this on anyone - especially him
Hopefully he'll be on the mend and we'll get another date for the beach-craft sometime soon. You guys are welcome to get up there; you'll love it.

I'm heading to the Lake District this weekend to pick up some gear I have stashed over there... I'll get some fell running in while I'm there.

cya

Dunno 'bout 'get a room' Stu...not very bushcraft... maybe we should get a tarp :yikes:

 

[lannyman8]

sounds good mate, send my regards to Andy when you talk to him.........

have a good weekend mate...

 

[resnikov]

Have created a calender event for this, just becuase I could and to see how the calender events worked. See here

 

[merrygold85]

you write really well,..i like it doooood! hahaha

Ha, that is probably the most bizarre compliment I have ever received.

Can you give me an example of the sort of "bits and bobs" that you would need often enough to hang up? Other than Rich's "hand sanitiser", what a sicko. Haha.

Mark, you need picking up mate?

That's a very attractive offer Rich, but I wouldn't want you to be going out of your way. Getting me would mean going too far and then turning back on yourself. However, If you are dying to get rid of some petrol, and maybe put a few miles on the clock, then sure Actually, pick me up from my place and I'll give a few squids or something. It would save me some time and effort. Yeah?

if we all get there its going to some group.......

Tis a mighty list indeed. I hope all can make it in the end. Think of all the feet there would be to pump the forge. Are the kids under tarps themselves or you gonna snuggle up together as a family, haha. Youngest on the outside of course

Does anybody reckon that I would need an underquilt in the middle of march? Bearing in mind that I will have my sleeping mat, and possibly a blanket between the layers. What kind of temperatures are we to expect?

 

[lannyman8]

i would think that you will still need somthing mate, its not going to be megga warm maybe at 10 deg c at night or less.....

you could rig up your blankets underneath your hammock maybe???????

 

[lannyman8]

i think the boys/lads will be in a tent having thought about it, i dont have enough kit for them to share for the tarp......

????????not sure, might buy a bit of kit for them, will have to ask them and see what they want to do.....

 

[Chambers]

Nah I dont mind at all just PM me your address closer to the time and I'll drop by and get you.

If my underquilt doesnt go I may use it as I dont think I will have made a new one by then but I was just thinking of using a full length thermarest type mat

 

[ex-member Raikey]

Can you give me an example of the sort of "bits and bobs" that you would need often enough to hang up? Other than Rich's "hand sanitiser",

knife, cup, water bottle , head torch, phone, wind up radio, Mr Snuggles, (my teddy) signed picture of Barry Scott (the guy from the Cilit Bang adverts)


you'll deffo need some insulation,..it still got down to freezing last march during the night,...

but your the toughest duvet camping M F i ever met so proably just your bare hammock dude.,..

take plenty of paracord and we'll have a play with your set up,..and suspend the blankets underneath somehow,..it'll be fun,..WATCHING YOU FREEZE!!!!

hahaha

i got my dates booked off work early ,...

Am i too exited??....hahahahhaa

Stu

 

[Chambers]

You can never be too excited for a meet

 

[lannyman8]

You can never be too excited for a meet

what you said.......

 

[joely]

Chris mate i have got 2 spare tarps and 1 spare hammock (double layered so you can stick a thermarest in the middle) if you wanna borrow for the kids? Sure someone else will have another spare hammock you could borrow? I do have another but its just a rubbish net one so wouldnt recommend it.

 

[lannyman8]

will have to speek to them both, sam will probably want to tarp it and ben probley tent.......

we will have to see, but thank you and i will keep it in mind......

thanks mate.....
