Im presuming that the wardens have no problems with us using Hammocks??

Matt, Can I get the recipe for that lovely "lobby" you and Nat cooked at LLangollen??

Sorry for all the questions. I have done a search and not found that much info ,some pages are no longer available: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=281888&postcount=7

Yes, there were plenty of people using hammocks last time.

There are also several fire pits and half barrels for fires off the ground.

It's basically potatoes, onion, carrot, celery (optional) , plenty of corned beef, water, bisto, herbs if you have them and salt n pepper to taste.

A long slow cook until the spuds start to disolve and that's it

 

[firecrest]

[SimonM]

Hi Firecrest, I've added you to the main list. Can't advise about public transport but I'm sure someone will be along who can.
