Not long now

 

[TinkyPete]

OOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[woodspirits]

there may be some skills/projects on the go during the meet, your participation is entirely voluntary

small ground oven using heated up stones to cook a rabbit.
dakota fire pit for stealth camping
means and methods of firelighting
navigation, with compass sun stars and maps
fungi i.d


check for access updates before leaving

owing to the possibility of adverse weather, access to cp3 and west drop off point may be impassable by car. in which case you can offload your gear at upper north wood (see map link post 1) and walk through wood.

 

[jimbo75]

I wanna try and get there friday midday?? Is the weather looking awful? Bit worried about the car and the mud! Are you guys parking on the hard standing near the toilets/water tap?

 

[TinkyPete]

I will and lumber stuff in

 

[jimbo75]

Quad bike shuttle bus/Mud sprayer again????

 

[nolightweight]

check for access updates before leaving

As above.

Any changes/decisions made about access will be posted here as soon as practicable.

There may be an update today, but there will be a full update from site on Thursday.

Hope that helps. Stay tuned...

Met Office is looking good(ish!)... EMids (paste)... "Mostly dry and brightening up on Friday after morning mist/fog clears. Cloudier again on Saturday and becoming breezy with some light rain possible later. Rather cloudy but mostly dry Sunday."

Looks like the winds will freshen over the weekend with some lows splitting up and tracking to the north, mostly from the SW... may be some frontal activity passing over. Temps should be respectable tho

if I'm wrong, you may slap me upsida da head with a dead rabbit... preferably cooked and warned so my mouth is open VERY much looking forward to seeing the diverse cooking going on, hope to see you guys (gals & kids too o'course!) there!
