[capacious]

Where/when is the meet going on? I've never been on a meet before, so any info on what actually goes on (I have a terrifying image of swanndri clad men spanking each other with their strops ) would be great.

Thanks,

Jake.

 

[Ryan Woods]

Yeah be interested in the loaction... I might be able to join you guys!!

 

[Razorstrop]

capacious----- thats pretty much what happens, but with some women as well!


reinhardt_woets------- first post updated with site link and address

be good if you can both make it


Mr Strop

 

[Emberglow]

I will be there yay

 

[Graham_S]

will we be doing any tutorials?
(basicly,should i bring my waterstones, if i'm going to be sharpening stuff i might as well have my stones )
since i usually end up sharpening a couple of knives at a meet.

 

[Razorstrop]

I dont see why not
I was going to address the issue of who wants to do what in the teaching/demo sense once we know who is fancing coming.

So Graham_S---Knife sharpening and some basic knots ( including hammock tying)
Razorstrop--Bow Drill, maybe a little wild food depending on whats about

nothing is going to be too heavy its new year after all

feel free to offer yourselves up folks and dont be scared to double up

Mr Strop

 

[Grooveski]

I'm going to try to make it down.

Think it's an arrow friendly site? If so I could bring the target and a bunch of bows, if not I'll probably come on the bike and demonstrate the age-old art of being cold.

 

[Ryan Woods]

Mr Strop,
I would love to join the party but it's too far down ...

 

[Wayland]

I can't make the whole do but as you're in my neighbourhood I'll probably pop in for a quick social.

 

[capacious]

I may be being painfully thick headed, but when is the meet? And I take it that the meet is here:

Middlewood Scout Campsite
Off Leigh Road
Worsley
Manchester
Greater Manchester

Or am I still being painfully thick?

Thanks,

Jake.

 

[Razorstrop]

Jake all the info is on the first post in this thread

Mr Strop

 

[capacious]

Yeah, I've looked (and I KNOW the secret to finding is looking, but I'm a bit of a mong ) and there are loads of suggestions and ifs and buts, and it's all rather confusing.

Sorry,

Jake.

 

[morch]

Hi Jake, you're right about the venue, and the dates are: 30th December to 2nd of January. Hope you have fun

 

[Razorstrop]

Morch has hit the nail on the head

Be good to see you if you can make it


Mr Strop

 

[Razorstrop]

No more takers????

Mr Strop

 

[Graham_S]

what happened to all the interest?
who can resist four days of bushcrafty goodness?

 

[capacious]

I can't make it for the whole thing (she who tolerates me will not allow it ) but I can make it for the last day if everyone is still gona be there? If you are then I'll be there and my dad (who is somewhat curious as to what I get up to in the woods by myself ).

So that's me+1 for the 2nd Jan.

(And if you've all been very good, I may just find the time to help replenish the stocks of libation (beer))

By the way, I've never met anyone off this site, so should I just look out for one huge mass of olive swanndri in the distance?

Thanks,

Jake.
