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

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 ;)
 
I put my name on the other thread. Is there a way of getting trains and buses to middlewood? Im only in stockport.
 
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.
