That sounds reasonable :)
But before I start anything about a meet at this site I will need to visit the site myself to check it out ... and I am pretty tied up with lots of work, physio and hospital visits at the moment, so it may be a couple of weeks before I get the chance.
Jaymz - As to promoting a wild camp ... I would ask a Mod how that will stand before you do it ... it might put you beyond the site rules ...
I can recommend BNI - if we meet up there folk can check out other sites for future ref and such...

Thank you John

The Moderating Team are aware of this thread and the subject of Wild Camping. While the activity remains illegal in law in England and Wales, it remains illegal on this forum.

It's good to know that the members are keeping an eye on it too.

The banks of the Deveron.
BNI 4th and 5th sounds a runner for me John. Assuming that nothing 'pressing' gets in the way.

I'll see if I could get a few others to join us and bring a large casserole to hang over the fire, assuming I can shoot something in the meantime.

Ive added the people who have shown some interest in the camp on the original post, to get a rough idea of how many will be attending.

I would be up for a meet but later in the year - I haven't got any four season kit and I don't intend to buy any this year. So the cold weather might put a dampner on it for me in Feb. I will keep an eye on this thread for stuff happening later in the year

john, Do you have a contact number for the camp site or have you been to check it out? I dont mind ringing them and booking it, but you said you wanted to check it out first?
