Midlands November '09 'Re-enactment Market' Meet
- Thread starter decorum
- Start date
Only problem is with that is Phil won't be there, he's off for a prance.. opps sorry dance
He hasn't shared the location of the big sponge with Gary and myself so you better bring your own sponges
No idea at the mo, I'm about 10 miles away and my eye sight isn't quite that good
- but I'd say that Steve's about right with:: Need you ask after all the rain we've just had.
It'll be boggy on the paths for sure
From experience - the paths down in the bottom corner will be more than mildly moist. The majority of the ground on PC11, however, 'should' be reasonably ok. The local weather forecast is for more rain this week :Wow: .
If it's remotely likely to rain then I'd advise that folk pitch away from ditches, depressions and to not take advantge of a comfortable bed of moss!

Oi! Salt and wound, salt and wound .... He hasn't shared the location of the big sponge with Gary and myself so you better bring your own sponges
The ground is the sponge - once it becomes saturated the run off and standing water can be quite impressive :yikes: .

Indeed That Meet converted a fair few to the benefits of tree swinging :Wow: - survival instinct kicked in .
My arrival "late pm Saturday" would now be "evening Saturday" with a departure on Sunday morning - so I am calling off - sorry

Oh yes, tie yourself high up in a tree would be my advise. My moss waterbed was comfy though
.They are filming the sequel to A River Runs Through It next year.
Have a good un folks, pity i can't make this one.
Can't wait for this weekend. It's going to be great to meet up with a few faces off here.
I'm hoping my tent holds up as it is officially getting retired at the end of this year for something a little less leaky.

hiya muddy, i think decorum has a point re camping in streams! if your tent is that leaky your quite welcome to borrow a spare hammock, i dont think theres a huge improvement on the horizon.
Many thanks Woodspirits that's a really thoughtful offer.
I think the tent should be ok it has survived a couple of years at Santa Pod getting battered and rained on. Last time it was out of the bag was a canoe trip and it seemed ok although it's pretty faded. I've got a tarp I intend to throw up if it looks like it's given up the ghost.
If it leaks it's a good excuse to buy a new un. I've had my eye on a Vango.
Again cheers for the offer though.
As it stands at the moment I am hoping to get there early / mid morning on the saturday.
