Firstly sorry I couldnt make the NW social earlier and that I've been quiet of late, kids have had chickenpox and the wife and I have been ill too, definately need to get out into the fresh air more!!
Im hoping for a relaxed feel to this weekend and that participants will spend the weekend doing exactly what they want to, trying out a new idea for building a shelter, lighting a fire with a bow etc. Im hoping that this will then be at least an annual occurrence and obviously the more the merrier. Ive not confirmed the price as yet but Its
likely to be about the £15 ph mark (Friday to Sunday unrestricted access). What Im hoping for is a relaxed and friendly meet up, for like minded types to get together in some truly excellent scenery, Im hoping then that if anyone has a particular skill that they would be willing to share that expertise, but the emphasis is on no one to do anything unless they want to. The site itself is hilly and wooded as I've said but theres a bus stop, shop and beach within a couple of miles if you want to explore. We're hiring the site for exclusive use that weekend so no one will be disturbed. Pets (apart from alligators) will be welcome and I've identified an area separate for tented camping (field) and an area for families ( who might want earlier nights). The only stipulation this weekend is that no firearms will be allowed (air rifles etc) and hunting with projectiles can only be in a set area, so no one gets upset. The landowner does, however, have shooting rights on the land (abundant rabbits & Birds) so if that's your thing we can arrange a different date for that.
The more participants we can attract, the less the individual cost will be, please let me know if I can offer any further assistance.
