North Wood Bluebell Meet April 25 -27 2014 ...PICTURES

[TurboGirl]

Its just stunning walking through North Wood when she's clothed in bluebells I didn't take many pics but heres my couple to help weigh down your thread, Steve

Thank you very much for facilitating this wonderful meet, Mr Woodspirits!

Failing a good old workparty, a bimble around the woods with friends is the highlight of a North Wood weekend for me.

So heres the car boot, emphasis on the car boot I wanted It's a rare day I get range rover envy but this autobiography had me salivating!

I was interested to know about the white flowers here- young Mesquite reckons maybe stitchwort but the petals didn't look deeply divided like stitchworts are. Shame cos that's an edible We should use these unidentified floras to force feed any folk who make the track muddy/ disregard meet rules etc, purely in the interest of scientific endeavour of COURSE....

I had a wonderful view from my hammock The communal one way and the yew, the other, carpeted with a haze of bells. I love hearing the laughter and chat of all my lovely bush bros as I drift off to sleep Its as secure and warm a feeling as being in a cave. Old friends or new, I really love you guys x

The best seat in the woods in my book, although Twodogs hammock chair put up a stiff fight! I did a great impression of a pheasants alarm call when it dropped a foot as I was reading... every gundog in Staffordshire probably raised its tail ready to pounce Best of all, no mozzie bites! Just a few chiggers. Reeeesult

Looks like a great venue and camp. I wouldn't mind joining you on one of these if you didn't mind. Where abouts is North Wood?

Also… I don't see any dogs about. Are they not allowed even always on a lead?

cheers
Ash

Awesome meet, it was splendid seeing you all.

It's inspired me to get on the internet and buy some better kit, it's a shame there isn't a meet happening every weekend. Some great pictures, I particularly like the one of me, hands in pockets, stood watching Karl working. I did grab the shovel and help out at one point, I swear.

On the meet threads, the rules of the venue/ site info etc are usually on the first post for most of the meets Any changes for that individual meet are usually posted up on the thread, our Woodspirits is very organised and usually changes the post 1 to reflect any changes, other sites its better to read the whole thread for any additional info

I think its Preppers

 

[TinkyPete]

That would have been Preppers, but I have one too, they are a great bit of kit. I use mine a lot, loads of room in it and has a built in mossi net as well, really easy to get into with the L shaped two zip system extremely weather proof. Any other questions please PM me and I am sure I will be able to anwer them as I have used mine through out the years I have had it and used it in all conditions.
