North West Meet, 14, 15 July!

[thingswelike]

Thanks Matt - I'll talk to my wife over tea.

 

[xylaria]

I'm considering coming with my family, but there are issues...
a) It would be our first time
b) We would have a 14month old as well as a 5yo
c) We are all vegan (probably the biggest hurdle - i.e. I imagine there will be all sorts of animal prep going on which I'm not sure my 5yo son is prepared for.)
d) We've outgrown our current tent, but are looking for one at the moment.

Thoughts appreciated.
Cheers
Alex

NW meet doesn't really have any animal prep and everyone is really nice and respectful. I am bringing some dried bunny skins to show outdoorcode and EdS. I am also bring my two kids 9 and 7. It will be nice meeting you. You will be all right in your tent just cuddle-up . Me and my nine year old will be sleeping in a £10 lidl tent as she has a broken arm so she can't go in hammock.

LOL, tell her that my missus was a little apprehensive (as was I truth be told) but she ended up having a great time and was off chatting to the other bushcraft widows & Xylaria (not a bushcraft widow but the bushcrafter ) and everyone else for that matter so your missus won't be alone. My missus ended up asking "when's the next meet then?".

We haven't even had tea yet and she's already said yes. I don't really know what I'm letting myself in for, but any excuse to sleep in the woods.
I'm familiar with Delamere from mountain biking but it will be a new experience for me.

Count us in for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Cheers
Alex

[thingswelike]

Is anyone bringing Lavvu/Tipi/Kata type tents there that I can look at?
I'm planning on travelling a long way to see a Tentipi, but if there's one at the meet it would save me the bother.
Cheers
Alex

 

[spamel]

I will be bringing my Hex 3.

I think there will be at least one tentipi probably more, and if not I should be able to arrange to borrow one for you to look at if you want?

 

[Graham_S]

Hi all, I'm back online, (I'm in a hotel in santiago, Chile at the moment), But I'll be back in the UK on Monday.
So, Count me in.
Will it be ok for me to arrive on the Thursday again?
Looking forward to it already.
