If anyone is interested i will be bringing a couple of DPM jackets for sale/swap. One is a British army 95 ripstop jacket (XL) Brand new. The other is a lightweight DPM jacket with fleecy liner for winter. Lots of pockets and padded elbows. (XL was used in Cyprus when i was stationed there)

See you all there......weather looks..............WET:lmao:

Car is packed mostly and I'm really looking forward to it :D

I have packed about 3 dozen of my free range eggs so I hope to provide as many as I can with a tasty breakfast if anyone is up for it (please don't refuse out of politeness - I always have more eggs that I can use). If anyone has a massive pan we could always go for the record of bushmeet largest omelette :lmao:

I hear it's going to be very warm and wet so could be quite a tropical style event. Lets hope it's not too wet :)

Phew - we're not the only ones relying on a tractor then :)
We're hoping to get there around 3:00-3:30ish.

I will be using a hammock and tarp for the first time tonight, so any help would be very welcome.

See you there!

I'm not exactly an expert but I've had mine up and slept in it a few times now so if I can help I will.

And yes, when the tribe come along so does all the gear - you're not alone :)

Yep - just got back. All of us had a fantastic time. Surprisingly knackered!
Getting tea and trying to get kids back to the normal routine, so I'll post more tomorrow (with some pics hopefully).

Cheers
Alex

I second that, first time I've tested my kit all at the same time, we were met with a smile and a warm welcome. we were a bit nervous at first, but it's safe to say we'll be at the next one if we're free.

And a big thank you to Goose and the other for taking the time to set this meet up

As usual, fantastic weekend. Nice to see some old faces again and meet some new ones. Big thank you to Goose for organising this again.:You_Rock_ : Would have been nice to see Tony, but was not to be. I still think this would make a fantastic Bushmoot site.
Till the next time.
