North Wood Bluebell Meet April 26~28 2019

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
There we go folks, it’s going to be a quiet one in the woodland owing to the bluebell display (hopefully)

Pete is offering expert advice on anything to do with navigation. I have sat in on a couple of his comprehensive tutorials and can highly recommend them. So whether it is to learn from scratch or just brush up, post up to show your interest.
 
woods update
Had a wander down to NW recently, to check on the chute which we left wet and wrapped around a tree. it was bone try and despite a little moss nest tucked in the folds, no damage so I put it back in the barrel. the Bluebells are just starting to sprout their flower heads, not surprising they are a little earlier given the fine weather recently. :) the woodland floor promises to be a veritable carpet of bluebells!

couple of pictures I took.

I will bring a few instructional aides with me so will have some spare maps, compasses so people can do a comparison and even a few books for reference and advise and printouts for general use.

I can cover part that people want help with or a general overview with an open session to cover anything people want help with. I can incorporate a walk as well, (so we keep off the Bluebells as much as possible :) ) if people want to test walking on bearings and distance work ( I can make it to suit most people if they want a long or short walk) we can also incorporate a plant id if wanted.

I can post topics if people want?

Yes please, up for a refresh :)
 
Im going to try and make this, although it may be a flying visit. If anyones got a bivi bag for sale i may be interested, esp.ecially a lightweight one
