well i do believe thats all of us with tarps now! so i think a one nighter is in order as soon as possible, try out the old sleepin in a hammock! nice fire few small beers and some carving, anyone up for it?? not too sure where we wud go but well just get out of sight somewhere and just do it!
Glad you all had fun - I certainly did!
Got a good little gang here within reach of the borderlands - so more meets in the offing I reckon...
Corr - let me know how you get on with your hammock & tarp - looks a nice setup and at a reasonable price, too.
It was really good to play with a few techniques - special thanks to Goose for loads of useful info :You_Rock_ - need to get out and practise some of it now!
Did your lass enjoy it all Aragorn? - maybe we can do a kid friendly campout sometime in the warmer weather - I'm sure my 2 will be up for it.
Stay in touch folks and we'll have more of the same before long.

Sounds like it was a success! Backyard Bushcraft called in our house Saturday evening, and told me all about it, and it didsound good. couldn't make this one, but will do my best for the next.Well done for making the effort, to organise, and everyone else for attending...Andy

So I got the hammock and tarp set them up just it looks good there were 4 guide lines missing so I have mailed the shop to c were they are but other than that its all good
Very comfy and with the self-inflating mat and 4 seasons bag very warm
Sorry i didnt make it. SHMBO had a lie in ( booked) and it went on and on, and by lunch time when she finaly emerged it was time to feed the sprogs.
Realy sorry i missed it.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, I just need to sort out a couple of dates, provisionally I can do any weekend in april apart from 13-15th. If it suits everyone I willl phone and book the site tomorrow, I will request any weekend in april(cept the one mentioned, but I am booking it ) and go with what works best around their bookings. This will be at Forest Camp as before, we know the place and it will easily cater for our needs.
In the mean time, how about a day at Rangermans place, similar idea as the recent day out in Wales we had? It will be a good day out and it can double as a recce for possible future meets. I have visited there before and it does have plenty of options, but I was a bit wary due to the amount of dog walkers(not really a problem) and wandering neds(possibly a problem), which won't be a problem during the day.
So let me know what you think about dates and ideas, when the date is set I will start a thread giving full details and to get names and numbers.

sounds good to me, april should be ok, would prefer it not to be 27-29 as i would have to book holidays, as it is may need to book 1 day but thats no problem. day out sounds good too.
