Midlands meet up
- Thread starter heath
- Start date
-
Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I doubt I will make Friday now, the conference I am teaching at looks to run later than I thought. Whill try to come over Saturday at some point.
Hi skint you have PM inbound.
I've not roasted a Yam before - just got to be tried
I've also picked up a karela to try - I'd not even heard of it before but thought I'd give it a go

Talk about wrong time right place 
I came back from a wander about an hour ago. I found, for the first time ever, cramp balls. I'll have a search but I can't see that they'll be ready for the weekend - I may be wrong.
I also found a crop of birch polypore (I took two) but I know they won't have dried out

Not a problem, join us as, when, if you can. And if you can't make it at all there's always next time
Note to all: wrap up warm as it's been frosty here for the last couple of nights.
Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend

Just come back from the meet and would like to thank everyone for a smashing time. The spit roast worked! Well sort of. Hope we can do it again soon.
Jon you were talking about buying a tepee. The Tundra 8 from point bar looks about half the price you mentioned? See this thread.

Thank you all for a great weekend.
My appologies for spending time away 'pressing the flesh' (so to speak) - no promises but hopefully forum members will reap the rewards in the not too distant future
to get together with any or all those who attended this weekend (and those who didn't 
) - It was an all too rare treat to feel so chilled with a group of almost complete strangers - to all of you :You_Rock_

Want me to start on the next one then? It would be a pleasure

Nice meeting you all at the weekend and SOOOOOO much food!!
Shame I had to get away early, but the 1/2 marathon and Scout thingy made me think I would be locked in all day!
A lovely fresh morning though. Until next time folks ....

Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed myself
I think I'll be staying in for the winter though, my poor nose
I hope that more people will come next time, a small group is good although a bigger one is great. It's definitely a site for the family so I would recommend that if any one wants to bring the kids on their first bushcrafting trip, this would be the site.
The twins can't stop talking about it
I'm up for it. Will have a new group buy blanket in hopefully 2-3 weeks so will be desperate to try it out before taking it up north. The colder the better for that. Perhaps a bit more minimal on equipment next time although I'll miss my seat.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday Michelle and hope we will see you at one next year.
I am up from another meet. I think it is an ideal location. Hopefully I will be able to do the whole weekend next time.
It sounds like I missed out on all the food!

And ... here we go again
As I said in the thread above I spent a bit of time networking this past weekend and I've been asked if I'd put together a bushcraft 'type' weekend for a few people (non-forum members at the mo) and would like to offer the chance to members of the forum to come along and join in.
The location will, again, be Rough Close Campsite and their preferred weekend is 16-18 November - though they'll be ok with the following weekend if that's better for forum members - anyone up for a late autumn Midlands meet?

I won't be coming, but just a thought, perhaps you could start a new thread, so this mew meet won't be lost in the old one?
Hmmmm... this is the same weekend as the Loch Tay meet that I was hoping to go to so will have to pick one or the other. Would prefer any other weekend if poss?
Nice to hear some new potential recruits close by. Work em Phil!
Hi all,
Sorry skint I hadn't clicked that you're off to Loch Tay in three weeks - I may need to do a hot shoe shuffle on this one to get this meet in prior to loch Tay
- I hope that you can come along too Jon. I'll have a conflab about the dates with bods at this end to see whether they're up for a short notice Meet 
, like you lot they're pretty flexible
Now that I know that there's definate interest in a November Meet I'll open a new thread; as Michelle suggested (hope to see you in the Spring
) - I didn't want to open a new thread for a meet which will be quite short notice and then fall heavily on my butt

Hi,
No confirmed plans at the moment. I've been wondering about when to start touting the next meet though.
Anyone up for another Midlands Meet?
Any suggestions for dates?
