I am going to the site with a Super SER gas heater to try and thaw the frozen pipes. I have been told that the lowest temperature last night in the UK was in Chesham at -12. Now that really is quite cold....No wonder my abode is so frozen up! I am comfortable(ish) with my basic 'shrafting skills, two duvets and a sleeping bag!
I have had conformation from the Keeper on the munty. I have also had conformation from Chris Claycombe that he is willing to do a heat treating demo and Rod on tracking which is fantastic.
The firewood is dry and stored inside so will produce a warm fire.
I think the only downside is the lack of children. I know mine can't come as the logistics of the shuttle from Suffolk to Bucks are too great during term time. Perhaps there will be some other parents willing to bring some young folks along even if it is only for the day. The cold may prove too much for little bodies for any longer though.
Andy W may bring Josh (6) but he is not sure. I have tried to contact George and am hoping other teenagers will see this thread and want to persuade their parents to bring them along.
The pond in the wood is certainly frozen and may be suitable for some sliding on if the ice is thick enough. I know it is not PC to say this in light of foolish behavior on large frozen areas of water, but as this will be well supervised I see no problems. just remember to bring a change of clothes! It will be b***y cold if one falls in!!
I could do with a big pot..Jason? Please. For vegetables.
Cheers y'all.
Swyn.
