Midlands meet up

[decorum]

Hi woodstock,

We've been using the local scout campsite; as long as we follow their rules and regs we're fine.

Hi Decorum

is the area suitable for hammocks with open fires if not I know a wood just of the A46 that is ideal for a bit of bush crafting

Yes on both counts ; there are many, many suitable trees and ground fires aren't a problem; as long as they're on established fire sites (of which there are many).
In previous conversations with the site warden I've had a basic permission for BcUK members to spread out a bit - basically, as long as we don't encroach on the bits of the site that other users of the site are booked on to use, we haven't had to contain ourselves too much.

Got any dates in mind as yet

Hi woodstock,

I'm pretty easy as far as Meet dates go (for the moment anyway ) .
The previous post (#139)

Anyone up for another Midlands Meet?
Any suggestions for dates?

was me subtly inviting anyone who might be interested (and if they had any preferred date in mind) to post their ....erm ...interest (and of course, any suggestions ).





A quick query woodstock (*not* a grumble, merely curious).
What happened in post #140? I ask because it contains, in the quote, material that was never in the original

We'd definitely be interested, although a bit scared as we're really new to bushcraft!

don't worry we are really friendly, and we all have gaps in what we know. Standard camping kit is utterly fine and normal, some new people rush out a buy bivvys and hammocks and stuff, but you really don't need to at all. Most women i meet at meet ups sleep in a tent.

The first meet we went to we had a 30 year painted tent , chipped B&Q axe, and i wore nothing green. i have just finshed getting enough for all the family to sleep in hammocks as it find it comfeyer, but we bring a small kit tent for all the girlies to get changed in.

Has a date and location been chosen yet? a pointer to the relevant post number will be fine.

To try to avoid confusion I've started a new thread for the next Midlands Meet: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27390



Old, young and in between are welcome,
Newbies are as welcome as Old Hands,
All I ask is that you take responsibility for you and yours
And that you treat others with respect.

I have a similar thing with 'own brand' products!

It usually runs something like:
'Sorry sir, we don't sell those'
'What do you mean? They're your own company's products!'
'You might be right sir, but we still don't sell them!'

It seems that there are somethings you just can't beat
