sounds like a plan im up for that
which plan Jo-Jo's or snufkins? :confused:

ok, you "local" guy's are going to have to take the lead here as i don't know the coast area!

It's quiet weekdays and if anyones ever up for a Friday meetup it's my day off so just give me a shout
sorry snuffy i work fridays though i could proably get friday off,or change it, i'll see what i can do.

i just checked the BBC weather for tomorrow! we may have snow for a while late morning, if it settles enough to collect some clean snow(not yellow :yuck: :yelrotflm ), get some in a cup or tin wait for it to melt and drink some, it will be very pure water! much safer than river water.

I don't see why not.. we would have to get back in the cars mind you! I dont know the north shore of Lowestoft. may go and have a look at the week end to see what its like up there ;)

Can't we cook and eat the underwater roots ? or is that the wrong plants?

:lmao: better watch out, north of lowerstoft towards corton is the nudist beach?, you never know what you may see. :lmao:

along the coast road out of lowestoft, you have corton woods, which is behind pleasurewood theme park, corton wood joins gunton wood, both woods are look after by suffolk wildlife/gunton wildlife trust. along the coast between corton & lowestoft you got pill boxes, dunes?, cliffs & a orienteering course, which you can down load the map from www.onesuffolk.co.uk/leisure i think, the course was built by Ashleys School in lowestoft, you can download the map from their website, which i cannot find the address.

Hi nooky mate welcome! :D

i'm going to have to update that member list again ;)

just one thing......
I have been lurking in the background for a while
:rolleyes:

we hope to be meeting up in your neck of the woods soon!
i used to go "Survival" camping near watton as a Venture Scout, a place called Merton! Sadly i have no contacts atall for the area we used :(
it was a massive mixed wood that ran several hundred yards alongside pedders way between open farmland and a road (with an army post), still a great area to forage in! watch out for the Giant hog weed though :eek: !!!!!
onn night we were there we were all woken by the army fighting some war game with flares in the air and a good ten mins of gun noises. we could hear orders shouted it was too far for us to see what was really happening, still pretty cool!

anyway welcome in join in with as much as you can and we look forward to seeing you! :D

Hi everyone thanks for the great welcome, sorry it took me so long to reply, but I have just moved a little while ago and only just got my broadband up. Im trying to get my modem router to work without much success at the moment so I have to fight the boys to get time on the internet. :lmao:
looking forward to meeting you all soon.
Rappleby we get to hear alot of the exercises going on especially when the big stuff goes off.
