Midlands Meet May 2008

[Wallenstein]

We have Cub Camp on the June weekend, but I would deffo be up for either of the July weekends.

I might come again, its quite far for me, but as ive been there already I think it would be easier to bring my stuff in a trolley on wheels like grandma used to have than a backpack.

As Mesquite's asked whether it would be possible ......

How about these weekends:

June - 27 - 29 (It's possible that the site is fully booked - 11 doesn't get used much though so it'd be worth checking with the site)

June would be good for me let me know if anyone else is up for it, site 11 would be excellent

Looked like a great meet, really enjoyed the slideshow Cobweb, enjoyed the music as well havent heard Vivaldi's Spring for quite awhile, I'll have to dig out Nig's version.

Regards to all

How about these weekends:

July weekends - 18 - 20 (a fortnight prior to the Bushmoot) or 25 - 27 (the weekend before the Moot)

I was hoping to get to the last meet but something cropped up so I am keen to try and make the next if you have room for another?

July 18-20 is currently clear for me. Blenheim Game Fare is on 25-27 so that's possibly out and the following week is the Bushmoot First time to that this year after several years of trying.

July weekend - 18 - 20 (a fortnight prior to the Bushmoot) would be my preference.

That would be good for me as well, I don't have anything booked at the moment, I'll have to confirm sooner to the date (like usual )

Slightly off topic but can anyone remember where the young lad bought the reindeer hide from im pretty sure he said he paid about £20 someone else mentioned they had one
cheers

...... reindeer hide ...... someone else mentioned they had one
cheers

I think I'm probably the other one. In my opinion it's an excellent bit of kit - mine cost a 'bit'* more than £20 (it has had a silicone treatment on the under side though) - even at the price I paid I'd buy a second one to give complete under coverage though

* please note that 'bit' is spelt incorrectly - please read the B as an L and the I as an O.

 

[Wayland]

I think I paid a fiver for mine in Norway but the seller was a little drunk at the time...

Looking back through the archive:

Bison telt (the nowegian company tha sells the cheap lavvus) sells them for around 20 pounds. It might be worth contacting thier suppliers

Also tony had some reindeer hides for sale at the summer bushmoot at a good price so it might be worth contacting him to see if he still has them.

The bison telt hides seem to be about £40 (390kr)

Cheers guy I'll follow up those leads im also looking at 2 on the bay hope to have one before the next meet

 

[Scrumpy]

Hey! good to see your back Decorum, hope you're feeling a bit more chirpy!
Me and the boy would be up for another camp out, easy on dates.

 

[WhichDoctor]

I'd certainly be up for another meet, I'm pretty free for dates.
