North West meet Delamere, 20-22 April

[happybunny]

Wow. Looking better and better - I can't wait.

With a lake about I'd normally bring my (proper) inflatable open canoe, but I may not bother as it is just a day trip, and we'll already have all the baby stuff (unless anyone is thinking of getting one and so wants a look - they are obscure enough to be difficult to find "in the flesh".)

As I say - can't wait!

would anyone object if I bring the other half - she has decided she wants to come and play. I spent long enough pursuading her to in canoe wild camping so its a start.

Down side - we'll have to bring the big tent and air matress.

She is more than welcome, there is plenty of room for tents as well as hammocks.
There are a few places she can visit nearby, craft shops,outlet village, forest trails and suchlike if she doesn't want to spend the day on site and prefers walking, shopping or whatever.
Ps, as long as you blow up the mattress yourself!

If the weather is anything like the last time......a tent will be the dryest place there....i know, i was nice and snug and dry...hmmn

 

[Gailainne]

If I bring my Icebear stones and a sh...eh my knifes will someone give me a sharpening lesson ? It would be very much appreciated, I seem to dull my knifes rather than sharpen them, especially my SAK and Seger M4 which are in every day use. I also just bought a bushcrafter from SC Barker which I would like to get hair popping sharp.

Ceggas axe has gone onward but a new one is winging its way shortly, an axe sharpening technique would also be very much appreciated.

I told you I was interested in everything.. I was'nt kidding.

Regards

Stephen

If I'm there (it all depends on work) I can help you out.

She knows thare well having lived in Liverpool for 10 years so can sort her self out but to be honest she wanting to make thing out of wood etc. More into the crafty / traditional skills side of things. To be honest your more likely to find me shopping than her.

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

So, I will spend the next few days sucking up to the missus, making her breakfast in bed and brews whenever she wants, she's german so she'll be a tough cookie to crack, but I've watched the great escape and know I can win this one over! I'll bide my time!!

Hopefully, I'll see some of you there!!

Got the spoon sorted already, working on the papier mache head and the suit made from old blankets. I just don't know how to make a bowler hat out of a margarine tub!!

 

[Wayland]

You're on the list soldier....

 

[EdS]

should I bring a couple of bags of logs with me on Friday?

Anyone got any use for some 20l veg oil drums - like you see out side chippies? Guess 5 minutes with the angle grinder and they would make pretty ok small braizers / fire pits.


Anyone feeling brave - I might of got round to bottling a couple of pints of slider by then - Looking for a victim, sorry volunteer.
