If Karl's car breaks down, you can always put it in a rucksack.......................

You bad man We're paddling up the creak and throwing away the paddle if we get stuck in the disco, I can imagine roping it to a tree and pulling it in half... I'll get video of any hilarious mishaps

Well, Andy, no problems with the Jimny, but my chubby old lass had an encounter with a jimny sized tunnel between hawthorn hedges It'll polish out

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Do I still bring the chute for this meet or wait till the next.

If you bring it, we can check it for any alterations really looking forward to seeing it, sounds a better chute than mine by far

 

[sasquatch]

Thought I had more but I can donate a 2.5l tin of fabsil. Won't be able to make this meet though. If it helps in future its available

Brilliant, might help to have it when the group does the proofing incase of short ordering I think you all used 15ltr at White Rose but did some extra kit?? We've 10ltr coming.

I was tempted to do mine and hang it there to dry but with rainshowers forecast and memories of sitting under an unproofed one in a sudden downpour- like sitting in the dishwasher through a cycle- I'm cured It could be awful smelly anyhow, we don't want to be all high as the kites on fumes at our lovely Bluebell Meet At least the fabsil for the communal chute will be low odour.

 

[sasquatch]

Double chutes work great but that's just hassle. I'll bring it next time I can make it and leave it there for future use. I've been sat on this 2.5L tin for years as I don't use it for my gear. I think it can be watered down to go further but I'm not sure how much you'd want to cut it...

 

[woodspirits]

A reminder for the Thursday arrivals,

were on our new pitch by the Yew tree.

parking on CP2 or 3 is weather dependant, if it's going to leave tracks park on CP2 hard standing haul your stuff in and return your vehicle to CP1. (See map post 1)

can the first arrivals transfer the communal fire pit and chute please.

on this meet personal fires will be allowed to collect wind blown and cut brash only, no standing dead or alive.

Keep your footprint in the wood to a minimum while the bluebells are out, keep to trodden paths etc.

i will be there early Friday thanks for your co-operation.

 

[TurboGirl]

And the yew marks the northern boundary of pitches I hope to be there 1pm tomorrow with a wheelbarrow to make light work of collecting the pit/ tarp etc, will bring blue draw rope. Might not have a vehicle - if so I won't be bringing my sewing machine or collecting the barrel Karl

 

[Twodogs]

Thanks for the Information Steve

Not long now ,,, Friday for me

Twodogs

 

[TurboGirl]

I called in as I was passing today to check conditions- at present the tracks (inside and around the wood) are fine but it is forecast to lash it down on Saturday so the Bosses may require cars moved

If you're heading down tommorrow (thurs) please be aware there is a private vehicle and shooting event in the 1st field (CP1) and CP2. The event organiser asks if we can walk stuff in as he's got a lot of folk walking around those areas- they will be cleared by Friday however Any thurs folk with oodles of kit might want to borrow my barrow!

We're not too early for the Bells this year!! And I didn't pick up any mozzie bites in the 10 minutes I was there Reeeesult!!!

I can't make this one as I have other plans but RE: para shelter. I am willing to chip in with a donation for the purchase and proofing and I have a plaster mixing attachment which will fit into a regular cordless drill, but possibly no use as I won't be at the meet.

I think the cost is to be spread across all the meeters, love, by a slight increase in price so its fairly divvied up But we're just gathering the wherewithall this meet, there'll be a tarp proofing on one of the future meets though. Definately going with the fabsil on the communal chute and I'm using Thompsons water seal on mine so we should avoid heavy duty mixing, thank the godz! But totally brilliant of you to offer use of your plaster mixing attachment, if we HAD been self mixing the DIY recipe, it would have been worth its weight in gold

[metriaclima]

am i okay to attend saturday till sunday? i'm having to work late today and wouldn't get there before the gates locked :-(

 

[TinkyPete]

Unfortunately due to a few problems with our Exercise in France with the French (The C.E.S.Ms) I will not be able to come up for the Meet I now have to work the weekend and be on a call the whole weekend. Hope you all enjoy it, I will certainly miss being up there and I had loads of stuff to sell as well. I will run a Navigation bit whether planned or adhoc next time I am up. Enjoy it all and can't wait for the pictures.

 

[Karl82]

Metricaclima you welcome to come down Saturday to sunday will have the kettle on for you.
