You guys are welcome back anytime :) (with only one exception, but I'm sure he knows who he is :rant: )

It was good to see so many like minded folk out in the woods, much more fun than a pub! :D I'm up for hosting another get together sometime, since I have the perfect venue :rolleyes: I think next time I'll try and get some more things organised, such as sorting out what we will be doing regarding food before arrival. Maybe get a bit of an animal in before hand and have it in the pit oven ready and waiting? :dunno: Any other suggestions are very welcome of course

Something that I found (as did Charlotte) very amusing was that after the first 20 minutes of bushcraft kit talk, the conversation took a definite turn in an unexpected direction! :theyareon So maybe I need to get a dungeon built for next time :lmao:

Anyway, thanks for a great time everyone. And thanks for bringing such a lively array of tipples :beerchug:

Thanks Dave.

A lovely evening, in a lovely venue, with some lovely people.

Can't wait for the next one - even if it is just meeting up in a pub, still nice to catch up with like minded folk.

Thanks again.

MANY thanks Dave and Charlotte, what a crackin' weekend! Having met a couple of the witchcrafters before, I wasnt even slightly suprised by the slant of most conversations, but did find it amusing that chris exacerbated the situation with the gay dance (amongst other things hehe). What a giggle! Brilliant to meet all those who I hadnt before, and cheers for teaching me the pop(lager)can burner justin, im like a child with a new toy...hang on.. :D Anyway, great time was had, thanks again to mr budd for making it possible. Ps. Nobody talk to Chris, he has less than 50 posts ;) Joy x

Thanks for havin us Dave and Charlotte, had a great time. Don't think I'll ever look at bass players the same again though... and as for single-edged vs. double-edged knives I think the less said on this 'family friendly' site the better.

Sorry I missed this one - I'd been up for over 36hrs on Saturday and just crashed! :(

Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one - looks like you all had a great time!

when we had our first British Blades get together a few years back there was an entertaining conversation had between a British maker who liked big ugly bowies and a Scandinavian maker, who liked small blades. The Brit asked the Scandi why they always make such small knives. His reply was simply "because I don't need the extension".

And that is why I make miniatures :naughty:

I hope you lot aint knocking my Nessy!! Especially you Dave,you made it!!
Anyhow I love it,I know a bit about what works for me as a blade and my Greenman takes care of all my bushcraft needs but that Nessy just felt SO nice in the hand! And a real beauty! I am picking it up at the knife show this Sunday,so anyone coming can have a fondle! (and you can see what the knife feels like aswell if you like!)
