Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
It's such a shame you can't make it Toddy, I know the twins were looking forward to seeing you again, not to mention me and Bramble! never mind, we'll see each other at the bushmoot again no doubt!
Eric, it'll be nice to put the face to the name, hope you don't come down with some 'orrible sickness that stops you coming this time.

The trim is Tablet woven, They call it Card woven on the other side of the pond.
A quick Google should get you an idea of how it's produced.
All mine is hand produced and traded for over drinks around hearth fires. (Probably as authentic as you can get.
) but I think there may be a few traders out there that can supply.
It's not essential but it's spot on if you can get it.

It's not next weekend but the weekend after.
24th & 25th of October. Arriving Friday night is OK.
OK. Timing wise we will be arriving Friday night sometime around 7 - 7.30. I can't be there any sooner as I'm working in Southport all day.
We will be in the Grubenhouse as usual and I know that the large house (1st right on the track) and the first house on the left (the one that Nick was in last time) are both unavailable for us.
Anyone arriving before us will have to negotiate with whoever is there from the other group but there should be enough accommodation for all of us.
I'll post more details as I get them.
