Tough it out mate if you get to cold in the night build a fire and shiver til your warm again
A good tip is to eat some high calorie scran just before you go to sleep stokes up the internal fire and keeps you warm

Well the old beer coat is always worth having on as wellYour 5th option is to drink so much you wake up in a ditch.

I have to bow out I'm afraid, new job is taking a lot of my time at the mo' - and I was especially looking forward to the nekid mud-wrestling too
Have fun folks and hopefully I'll catch up sometime soon, I'm expecting some good pics to compensate for not being able to go

Hi Simon ,
Being new to this Forum and just starting in Bushcraft I have a couple of Queries about the meet ?
Is there a lower age limit ? (Son is 11)
Would we be Ok to stop in tents (bit Kit deficient at mo)
what do we need to prove the Scout rate (2 scout leaders and 1 scout from west lancs) ?
What is the current share for the Pig roast ?
would we be OK to turn up for Saturday / sunday but not the Friday ?

Hi Bob and welcome to the forum, I think it's safe for me to answer some of your questions in Simon's absence.
No lower age limit providing they are accompanied by an adult.
Tents are fine, you won't be the only tents in the group. As for finding a level pitch, level is a relative term.
No scout rate, we all pay the same.
I think theres one trotter and a bit of tail left of the pig (joke).
, I think there will be a lot of people chipping in on the day for a share, so the cost per share is going down all the time (just bring a couple of bags of charcoal).Again you won't be alone in turning up on Sat and leaving on Sun.
Thanks for the prompt answers Guys ,
See you on Saturday !
and I know all about "level" pitches on Scout Campsites PMSL
Regards
Bob

Simon,
Whilst visiting a customer this morning I noticed he had a fair bit of wood lying about> I offered to dispose of it for him free of charge, if he delivered it on Friday afternoon to middlewood site. Would you check if this is ok with the camp as I think there will be a good few tonne and enough for everyone

Hi Barney,
Just spoke to the camp warden and she says "Yes please" to the better stuff but no to the other.
One of the reasons they are having a bonfiire on Saturday is to get rid of all the carp they have lying around at this time of year.
Nice gesture mate - another way of us repaying them for use of the site.:You_Rock_
Simon
I am playing the game Barney... obviously we can burn whatever is on the woodpile....but they think we have helped them out with firewood!
Is it ok for Friday still?
Simon
I will sort it tomorrow Simon, i'll ask for the lot our stuff will be in separate pallet loads.

That saves me from stufing the car full of wood.
- Can everyone intending to take part in the hog roast please add their name to the list at my tent ASAP so that I can work out everyones share of the cost. (Don't want to overcharge or leave Bernie out of pocket!). Remember your 2 bags of charcoal for the roast as well!
- Can everyone please bring some change for their camp fees (£4 per person per night). You can pay me & I'll hand it over in one go!
- Remember your pocket money for raffle tickets.
- Remember the "Bring & Buy / Bushy Jumble sale" - bring your old unwanted gear to swap or sell on Sunday.
Simon
