Had a phone call from Rappleby, his computer's down at the moment but he's still going to be there tomorrow. If anyone else can make it post on here and we'll wait for you or swing back through the carpark to pick you up :) .

I won't be able to make it, but have a nice time.. I hope it won't rain too much on you tomorrow! It was rather soggy today :(
The weather forecast doesn't say rain, but who knows? I'll take my camera and post pics tomorrow.

We had a good day today, it was drizzling as I was heading down to the woods but it cleared up quickly, which was nice.
we had a wander round the woods and I showed the chaps the sights, tumuli, remnants of ancient woodland and WW 2 trenches.

After lunch we did a bit of shelter building making use of all the blown down trees from the gales.

It's a good spot and it could be good if we could get to use it in an "official" way.
As an aside, if any of you are trying to get in touch with Rappleby, his computer is screwed up at the moment, he said he'd try and get to the library to check email and the like but until his PC's fixed he won't be around the site much.

I know Rappleby is off line at the moment with computer problems. The thread goes cold every so often. Trouble is finding time for meetups, and doing them when others can get there :rolleyes: . I'm just going to have to win the lottery tonight so I can buy my own forest that we can all use for meetups :) .

What about all of us chipping in and buying the wood, then when we not playing in it, we could rent it out to get some money. :rolleyes:

On fridays near me its like a demolition derby :rolleyes:

I would imagine a good few acres would be ok as long as its densliy(spl) planted, on the website woodlands for sale there are quite a few for sale under 50k for 4-5 acres i was supprised, not that i can afford it :( , but still if the numbers come up :D

I have been stuck for ever in the Royal Forest Of Cones in Lowestoft.... I am lost, I can't find my way and I forgot my compass :eek: I have seen a couple of water holes and loads of weird creatures in heavy boots and yellow hats all over the place.. , they seem to be moving among the cones and digging holes, looking down there :grouphug: :grouphug: , obviously can't find what they're looking for :confused: and moving a few feet to dig another one, so the whole place looks like the surface of the moon. maybe I'll find my way out by following the river on a balsa raft........
