gary/ian, may have to pick your brains as to how i attach my underblanket, not had chance to set it up and am working right up to the meet 
Its not looking like i will be able to get to the meet.
I was driving down to lincoln to pick up my daughter for the weekend and blew out my radiator after sitting in traffic for 4 hours. I am going to have to get a replacement and fit it all before next weekend when i have rearranged to see my little girl.
One thing i will say is that the RAC bloke:You_Rock_ who turned up bust his backside to get me going again. Eventually tho he admitted defeat and got a tow truck to get me home. I had to swop trucks halfway home and eventually got home at around 23.30 after leaving home at 13.00. Cold, hungry and fed up.
Anyway have a good time and If I can i will try and get down on sunday for a natter.

Alan, If you look in Kit Chatter, Feedback for Underblankets Post 92 you will see how I hang mine. Actually pinched some ideas from Wayland and Magikelly.
Matt, Would it be OK to bring a crossbow? Bought it a few months ago and haven't had chance to use it yet.

Ian,
Bring the crossbow - we'll see what damage it does to the targets and if too excessive will have to stop!
Keen to see it though as I've never used / seen one in the flesh!

I use 4 mini crabs to fix mine up Aragorn. Not essential but very useful.
You might want to see if you can get some otherwise I can probably lend you a few.
Spam, I've done some work on the handle of my leuko since you last saw it. I think you'll like it.
Sоrry to hear you won't make it Greg. If it's just transport I'm sure we could sort something out for you.

Thanks for the offer, alas its not transport i could just jump in the lin's car and get down but it I only get to see my daughter once a month and this weekend was mine but with my car breaking down as I picked her up i have had to re-arrange for next weekend. i am not sure if she will come up for the weekend or I will just go down on the sat. Either way i will try and get over at some point in the weekend.
Cheers
Im sat on the car park at the min lol for technology just had a walk around and I dont know if you have a spot picket out but I think that site 4 + 6 is the best for us plenty of space for hammocks and theirs a good spot for the tents to
was thinking something along them limes myself, got some alpkit crabs left, should be strong enough.
thank's ian will go and have a look at the post now, i did search honest
back : ian that post explains it very clearly, i've a good idea what i'm doing now, just one thing paracord should be ok to use for the ridge line shuldn't it, lately ive been using some as a utility line and to assist when hanging the hammock, ala ray mears eco system
The alpkit crabs are almost identical to the ones I use.
Providing you are not hanging the hammock weight on the line, paracord should be fine.

OK,
Had a phone call from Gill at Middlewood and the bottom line is...
We are fine to come down Thursday to set up. There will be a toilet we can use until the main block is opened at approx. 18:45.
There is a lawned area just as you go through the main gate to the right opposite the main building block on the left. This area is used exclusively for ceremonial purposes and is not to be camped on. Phil the warden will turf off anyone found camping on it.
All fee's will be collected by the warden on Sunday so I ask that on arrival can you find me and pay me your camping fee's - £4 per person per night.
Canoes. Yes, we can use the lake within daylight hours. My lads have inflatable kayaks so I'm bringing those.
I'll see you soon
