On the bike again Ray? Let me know if there's anything you want me to bring (I'll throw a spare chair in ).

 

[Wushuplayer]

Four weeks to go!


Does anyone have any projects or plans in mind for the weekend?

 

[Broch]

I'm bringing fresh coppiced hazel sticks if people want to just make a walking stick or a staff - I'll demonstrate making what my grand kids call Giraffe sticks (a type of simple stick decoration).

I'm also bringing green Sycamore logs for spoon (or other) carving.

If anyone ha anything else they particularly want to practice - just shout out

 

[Broch]

However, don't forget, you're welcome to just laze around and enjoy the environment

Have fun you lot :-D
Sorry we can't make this one now we have a doggy.
We have just bought a Rock Fortress and stove to play with.
Haven't got to use them yet but hopefully soon.

Will you be loading up a trailer full of logs again or would you like us to bring some along this time? Either way I feel I’d like to compensate you for the heating.

 

[Broch]

Thanks, I'm planning to bring a load over. I haven't brought any up from the wood yet so if I don't have enough suitable material I'll give you a shout.

 

[SoldierPalmer]

I’m planning on doing some stockie bashing on the res if anyone else is interested?

 

[Broch]

I haven't cast a fly for a few years! - I'll look forward to grilled trout though

I wouldn’t mind a go if the weather is fair. Good shout

 

[Broch]

OK Just 1 week to go

Still room if anyone else fancies joining us.

I'll be there from mid-day to early afternoon Friday.

Location is Penygeulan, nr Staylittle. Grid Ref SN871904 and it's 200m due West from Hafren Forest Bunkhouse. Note that the Bunkhouse post code takes you to the wrong premises the other side of the valley from the camp.

If you need further directions, PM me.

Don't blame you, it's a long cold way on a bike
Thanks for letting me know.

 

[Broch]

Last minute reminder - please bring plenty of drinking water if you can.

If anyone needs directions, please PM me.

Otherwise, see you all tomorrow

 

[mowerman]

Should be on the way by lunchtime, hopefully be there about 3 if that is OK.
Can only stay for 1 night though

I’ll throw the gear in the car just in case, but my feeling is the weather will be a bit rubbish for it.
