Norwich and Norfolk group new thread!

[Dino]

had a good morning with jojo. weather was dry & cool. walk down along the beach, lucky for us there was no nudist,no wood for a fire, only people fishing. from there we walk into corton wood & gunton wood. unforturnly we did no bushcraft, but talking to Jojo has got thinking about building a canoe . cheer for the company jojo, when we going to carlton marsh?

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

i have a feeling most bushcrafters have a liking for canoeing!
you can hire them out near norwich!

good to hear you had a nice time, i have to say a large percentage of meets are just nattering, which we all do quite well!

sorry i coulden't reply yesterday, i've had problems with the internet not working which i'm going to have to make calls about!

by the way at easter i'll be demoing for a company just outside norwich at"Dunston wood " (near the hall), it's going to be open to the public for "easter fun" more details later!

Glad you had fun, JoJo's a decent bloke
I've 12 days of holidays to use up before the new financial year so if anyone's up for an overnighter?
Rappleby, how about your "secret" location.

 

[jojo]

Dino. I enjoyed the walk too. Let's say the woods are quite nice but aren't bushcraft orientated!! Nowhere to light a fire without attracting plenty of unwanted attention

As to the marsh, shall we say, not next w/e, but the one after that? I have a whole heap of work to do on a boat and must reallly get on with it.

If you look here, that's a fairly similar canoe to the one I made. You get complete free plans and tutorial on how to do it, which is pretty good of the site that offers it. You really don't have to spend mega $$$ or £££ to have a perfectly good little touring canoe, max £100, and probably less with abit of thought. Somebody else asked about it some while ago and I had forgotten about it....Sorry

Ive been wanting to have a go at canoeing it looks fantastic, also on a different note when does Mr Mears return to BBC2.

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

you can probably find that out from the BBC website .

i'll have to ask Damascus, i think he said he has "use" of a few canoes for cadet use don't quote me on that though they may of been kayaks.

the "secret site"?
i was going to take the guys there after the whitlingham meet but we ran out of time.

 

[Snufkin]

Ok. It looks like Rappleby's coming over to North Walsham for a mini-meet next Wednesday for a bit of a wander around Bacton wood. It's FC land so no fires but it's nice for a mooch around. If anyone else can make it you're welcome to join us.

No problem, an evening meet would be an idea. Maybe when the clocks go forward.

 

[weekender]

do we know when yet??

 

[Snufkin]

OK, I've not heared from Rappleby so I'll go ahead and say 10.30am at the main carpark. There's a covered notice board and we can meet there.
If anyone wants to come later that's OK, we can swing back through the carpark and pick them up. Just let me know what time.
