Yea it's bring your own food will. sometimes the odd person will do a group meal but I don't think anyone has one planned for this one.

Oh - and if I remember to pack them tonight, I'll be bringing along a couple of Tinny's (minibull Design) alcohol burners if anyone hasn't seen them. These are a tad pricey, but the quality is brilliant, and I want to try out the remote fuellers for them in conjunction with the Crusader and SAT kit. If it works ok in the latter, I might try to make a stew in it. Now all I need for that is some oxtails!

Sorry but may have to pull out of this one, which I'm gutted about, because I have some good news to celebrate with you all.

Nah - packing should always be left until just before you absolutely have to leave - it them becomes a delightful magical mystery tour of making do with all the wrong stuff:)

ok given the recent and forcast weather, theres going to be a change of pitch on this meet. driving to our normal parking will be nigh on impossible, the grounds sodden. and rather than cart winter kit all the way through the wood we will now camp at upper north wood, see map link post 1. drop off kit and return your vehicle to CP1.

in addition,those who want to pitch on the newly cleared area by the moats, fine. those who would rather pitch on grass may use the SSSi site, strictly no surface disturbance though.

I have a defender and tow rope incase of problems, can be the last one out if you want to make sure we don't have any unforeseen stick-in-the-muds :) Will, when you see the country golf ball we 3 are cramming into the 3 front seats, you'll prob be hoping that all the others will be saving their travelling wishes for us ;) If your bags/ tent is newish, I'd bring em in dustbin liners as I've not valeted this un yet...

*Soooo excited, I need a slap with a wet lettuce!!!!*

Steve, many thanks for another great Meet.

Thanks also for supplying a communal cover and the chainsaw to quickly chop the wood required. Although forecast for deep snow, none was forthcoming. Maybe next time.

Nice to see some new faces as well, hope we didn't scare you off.

To those who couldn't make it, you were all missed.

To the regulars, as always; a pleasure to see you all again.

To the regulars and newbies, wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
