I can bring my Hurdy Gurdy if you really want me to!

Snozz

What, just the Hurdy Gurdy!!! What about the bag pipes & squeeze box?

 

[Melonfish]

Heh, ok well thats pretty kewl, i'll have to grab myself a soft case for my guitar, my hardcase weighs a ton!
any suggestions for songs? also anyone play the irish flute/pennywhistle?

Snozz, i've never seen a hurdy gurdy played, i'd love to see it, and WB i agree if we're not wanted too much round the main campfire i'm happy to wander off with whomever is musically inclined but respecting those who wish to sleep i suggest we keep it to an 11pm curfew?

 

[Grizzlyscott]

Sorry chaps, won't be able to make this, big plans for my sons 4th birthday that weekend so i'm fair swamped.
i'll have to play to you all another day and i'll miss having a laugh with you lot!
if you do another in jan count me in tho!

Will stick the Gurdy in the van (as long as it's not used for firewood!)

Can certainly have a play etc during the day even if not at night.

 

[scrogger]

I may be able to get to this. Will confirm during the week as I want to see if my lad would like to come along.

Cheers.

Andy

 

[Wayland]

I think we should have a pumpkin carving competition this year.

 

[MSkiba]

This place is 10 minutes from my house. Put me down please for friday, hopefully will also stay saturday but will confirm at a later date is that is OK to do so.

Really looking forward to meeting so many of you at once.

I think I still have pictures from the witch one Jan did last year , will post them up if I have

trying to persuade her not to wear the black contacts again as it really wierded us out round our Fire LOL (she came straight from a works halloween thing )

 

[BarryG]

Hi
I have a question concerning this restriction on open fires - raised & contained etc.
Are there designated raised pits for use?
If not what are the recommendations - I've got an old battered galvanised B&Q incinerator, which i have previously cut down, however its messy and cumbersome. Do any of you bushcraft geniuses have any niffty suggestions?
I'm wondering whether to get hold of an old fire bucket, in which i could drill out some vent holes and then perhaps grind out a door to pass in the fuel. i could mount it on some bricks maybe to protect the ground?

[Trunks]

Washing machine drum - on the axle - it's the future

 

[Melonfish]

last year several people had drum half mounted off hte floor and there was no problem. there is one big communal fire pit a thte site too.

 

[snozz]

Hope people are storing up the spooky stories for fireside telling seeing as it'll be almost Halloween... (although I may just read the 'Fear of the Dark' thread again!

 

[crowman]

I think we should have a pumpkin carving competition this year.

great idea i will bring a couple of pumpkins
