Really enjoyed my first meet, thanks to goose for organising it and everyone who gave me loads of advice. Im getting quite itchy with the credit card, so think ill get off the floor and get me a hamock. Also getting a minor obsession with stoves.

[Goose]

Another good meet, I reckon we had about forty people there overall thanks to all for coming:You_Rock_

Most memorable moment of the weekend for me was xylaria entering the fire circle, tripping and running screaming swinging a bottle of rum, I thought she was so quiet!

I will make some calls this week and sort out a working weekend as I discussed with some over the weekend, I think it will be well appreciated by the camp staff. I am thinking the back end of August, but I will make another post when I have dates etc, it sould run pretty much like a normal meet with a bit of graft on the SAturday clearing ditches and some light forestry work.Again thanks again to all

You were hilarious

You do remember foraging some wild 'shrooms then coming back, frying them up and dishing them around don't you? 'This one's dodgy so don't let the kids have any' was a disclaimer I remember. Don't remember much after the giant melting Mars Bars chased us around the forest thou :theyareon

EDIT: just kidding about the Mars Bars!

The dodgy one was the over the hill puffball your daughter picked, it can give you gut rot, so gave it adults with a warning. What your talking about is the little brown mushrooms, that bloke wearing green found, and I am sure they were pixies not mars bars.

Well I thouroughly enjoyed our group chat about the crapness of certain mushroom books, how to boil a very fresh egg and other stuff. Some very informative, some just plain funny! And I now know how to positively ID chanterelle, proven by the fact that I ate some and I'm not dead!

I had a great time, I think next time I'll try to stay for the whole weekend, but with a bit more than three hours of sleep! The missus wondered what I was up to when i got home as I slept from 8 in the evening till 10 o'clock the next day!

[Aragorn]

Glad I wasn't the only one! Nice to see kids being brought into the outdoors at an early age though, I think Delamere is a perfect setting for kids to play and enjoy themselves with no fear of them being run over or anything else. I will hopefully bring one of mine next time.
