possibility of a Devon Meetup?

[greg2935]

Look for the the people who look like they think a ruck sack is a fashion statement! Seriously though, I dont think youll have any prob working out who is who, I'll probably have some bushcraft/military type kit with me as I want to go shopping at endicots while I'm there. I'll also probably be wearing a wooly pully.

Why the ? unless that's the face of the staff when we all descend on the shop!
Never been in actually... I always seem to be in Exeter on Wednesdays

 

[arctic hobo]

I'm none too sure about recognising people either... I'll be the guy in the army polycottons and the norwegian sweater :wave:

Hi all,

I've recently moved to Exmouth, so It would be great to meet some people down here.

Oh, umm well, errr I was told they were open on Sunday, if not I guess you wont see me with any new kit

[Neil1]

I'm sure they are',nt open on Sundays, I'll give Kev a ring and find out.
I know what James looks like, I have a vague idea of what Leon-1 looks like :yikes: , I suggest the rest of you wear a pink carnation in your buttonhole .

Only if they are edible or you can make something alcoholic out of them ):

 

[Mallow Man]

So.

Are we sure it is open on Sunday? If not then I would move it to Mill on the Exe nearby.

I thought of bringing one bushcraft item with me as identification - I will ask your opinion as to what it shall be:

1. Billy Can
2. Large black fungus for firestarting
3. Tarp
4. Obvious book on bushcraft
5. A pink carnation sandwiched between my butt-cheeks
6. Something else even more ridiculous for the lay-man but fascinating for the bushlander.

Let's stick with the current plan, it's a central location and I hear a good pub, certainly has good ale, should be easy to find.

 

[greg2935]

Not really the right place to ask but I have a spare copy of Ray Mears Bushcraft (the big book, softcover). Does anyone who is going to this meetup want it? I find it too big to lug around but it does contain some useful info.

Right guys, there is a hitch in the plans for the meet up, Neil1 has found that The Well House will be closed for rennovation untill Tuesday next week.

As an alternative he has suggested that we meet at the Buckerell Lodge Hotel.

He may be able to get a function room for us to use whilst we are there, so if anyone wishes to bring bits of kit down to talk about that you would not get out in a pub, you could here (specifically edged tools).

Have we any other suggestions for a venue:?:

 

[tomtom]

That sounds a brilliant idea - solves the problem of us recognising each other too :biggthump
