Northeast bushcrafters winter meet

[mick91]

Planning for December 5th. Quick overnighter in the snow in my usual spot. Any members of the group or anyone that's interested welcome up to a group size of about 6. Cost of the camp is a pack of seeds

 

[GGTBod]

How far is your spot from Newcastle city centre? What type of seeds?

Not a kick in the botty off mate. Ovingham. And any seeds you want mate ideally veggies
Me and Jonnie are game. You in Rob? 4th or 5th better for you?

 

[GGTBod]

I'm tempted but i'd have to convince my wheelman, i'll ask my brother if he is up for it tomorrow

 

[GGTBod]

4th and 5th both good if i can get the driver to come along

Prayers and smoke for Mick and crew camping on a tributary of the River Tyne right now in torrential rain and 50mph+ winds, they have already moved to higher ground and in the last 24hrs we have broken the north east 24hr rainfall record with more to come

 

[Johnie]

Little check in. It seems the worst of the wind is gone. Time for some relaxing now. A hobo stove served perfect purpose. It's all part of the game. Gotta love it.

 

[mick91]

Go hard or go home bod all good fun man

 

[GGTBod]

Too right man sitting here at home all soft with a hot water bottle, bloody cold enough in my flat

 

[mick91]

Have to admit so far cold isn't an issue it's fairly mild. Uts only been wind and water to condend with really

Good luck , I've been to Kendal today , getting back to Whitby was an experience I can tell you !
Keep safe and keep smiling ����

Yeah man my 18th floor flat faces west so is taking the full force of the 50mph wids head on, safe to say my windows are not up to the task so much so the lamp shade hanging my living room light bulb is swaying, sitting with my feet on a 4inch pile sheepskin rug with a hot water bottle on them binge watching junk on netflix
