''I'm pretty excited now having persuaded the wife that you're not a load of nutters and that i'll be perfectly fine.''

of course you will ... (he he he )

oh and yes, put some holes in a two or three inches up from the bottom

Cheers for the advice, not so sure about the creepy feeling the other part left me with

ive got a rusty old bbq grill in the shed thats a little oversized but it'll clean up and do the job. i take it we can park pretty close to the woods? i normally walk out when i camp so it'll feel a bit strange turning up with more than my bag but i think i'll be bringing extra pots as well as the pit.

Yes, cars can park close. It takes me 8 trips to and from the car to unload so you'll be ok.

The badgers willl be fine with it. As there will be no freshly fallen leaves all about at that time it wll be easier to have a good go at tracking them and finding the optimum spots. We probably won't need to put it near the sett as badgers use the same paths night after night. I found another outlying sett after you left Stu, as well as a possible fox earth. I'll bring some plaster of paris so we can get some good casts.... and a bucket load of peanuts and a tin of dog food too.

superb mate, i thought about some plaster of paris but it's not something that i have laying around (and i'm famously tight fisted). i'm glad you suggested dog food, i was going to bring along a little bag of dried dog food, thought that'd probably tempt a badger. fox earth sounds interesting too.

really looking forward to this one, it's shaping up to be a good weekend.

I'll bring my jerry can stove, and between us if we can do a slap up meal we need shooting

Don't forget the black tie

Are we allowed to hunt at the meet???
