North Wood extended meet, 30th June - 8th July 2012 country fair and barn dance

[TurboGirl]

Looking at Gordons flyer and post 1, I might bring the furs instead of spinning although I can't do much on them- I'm sure it'd be inconvenient to start washing/ return trips for water/ making muddy ponds on the paths etc... I think I'll see what the weather brings on the weekend as the spinning wheel is a bit delicate.

I'm getting so excited now, I think I need a slap round the face with a wet lettuce!

 

[cowboy]

Me and cowgirl will be arriving on Monday at some point for the night.. Im at work all weekend so im really looking forward to just chilling out and catching up with the regulars.

 

[luckylee]

either way im coming

nice one fellas (and cowgirl) looking forward to seeing you all again

access

after todays torrential downpour, and a drop more on the way i think we can rule out both CP2 and 3. for the extra 50m walk, i think it would be prudent to drop off the gear at the wood entrance closest to the farm (see map post 1) and haul it in. vehicles to be returned to CP1 by the toilet block as soon as possible. those arriving Friday may find activity on the adjoining meadow, again, see post 1.

pitches

for clarification, we will pitch at the lower end the same as the last meet.
