[*Big Beast*]

we have a few hello`s from the area, maybe we could sort out a place/day/night camp to meet up and say hello. nothing megga but just a friendly chat and put faces to names really.

 

[Nat]

I think you can camp at Lord Stones although i'm not sure. There's a few woody areas within 1 mile of it not sure of ownership, but it is pretty bleak up there.
I'd be up for a mini meet

@Big Bear. Thanks for the link here bud.

Hello to all.
I'm from a village called Esh Winning, 7 miles west of Durham City (ha..a city....righto!).

I'm keen to get along, meet others and see about getting a regular local group gathering going and build on things from that.

I'm very interested in applying, learning and passing on practical bushcraft skills to and from others with a preferred leaning towards olde world, traditional and ancient hunter/gatherer methods.

Recently divorced and past couple of years not been too good but happily getting on once again and needing to get out and about with others so I'll be happy to tag along as and when can.

I'm currently unemployed and lost my car last year so my only means of travel is feet, mountain bike or bus for a few more months which is more of a time planning inconvenience rather than a chore for being at places, since I also have other activities on going.....volunteer first aider at events, upcoming electrician course, my child most friday nights, refurbishing my home (loads of DIY stuff!) and a couple of other 'social' commitments!

Mainly it's the amount of refurbishing work which I'm slowly getting through and trying to finish the major work before the course starts but other than that, if there's an escape for a few hours, a day or a night during a month, drop me an invite please.

Hello, nice introduction. i`m sure there will be something in the area that will fit in with what you are looking for, there seems to be a few of us in the North East & 1 post from Durham already (not counting yours)

 

[Nat]

Busy fella then Arnie.
Durham's a city

I'll have a look at Lord Stones and see if they allow camping. No trees about though so hammocks would be right out Or there's the camp site at The Lion Inn but again no trees.
ANyone else with any suggestions?

 

[Black Sheep]

Will have to see if Richard wants to have a wander over aswell though I am not sure what his working patterns are etc.

Let me know when and I'll try to sort something out

Rich

[Peterlee_Paddler]

It was the case that you could camp for free at the Lord Stones if you used the cafe. Not sure if this is still the case as this was a couple of years ago.

And hello Arnie.
