hi all,

This weekend, meet at thickthorne or at the site, easy either way, as less than expected not so many cars at the farm easy parking.

I will be at the park n ride at 9 am and then to the farm.

All the best

Wohooo. Just had someone bring two wool blankets down so I can lighten your load GT as I won't need the sleep system now. Still need the blower though please. I've got the snorkers. See you there

That was good timing I was about to sort it out. I'll bring some muffins for afters. What else do we need?

If anyone wants them, send me an email or PM me for it if you haven't got it



Me hut (the 3 skills I had to master (improvise bed, shelter and use a woollen blanket)

and the scran (just a snack this lot he he) with new kettle

Evening meal

Great day on Saturday, I now can believe how hard it can be to get a fire going after lots of rain. Well done Dave. Thanks for the day. when I left the bus did not come down the road as a fete was on in village. So I walked to the world end pub in mulbarton.
