Shining Cliff Woods - An offer

[dewi]

Closest postcode is for the YH that is on Shiny Cliff... DE56 2HG... that takes you to Holly Lane. I'll work on some detailed directions, but if you get to the postcode, you're less than 5 minutes from the woods.

Oki doki... just got all the confirmation stuff from the site owners.

Just to double check... the list I've got for those attending is...

Grotzilla
Mick91
Ged
Johntarmac
Wacker
Honest Outrage

Everyone still attending this weekend?

I've got a map of the location in PDF form and instructions for firewood.... the water onsite is definitely out of bounds, so we need to take our own water... and site volunteers will most probably say hello Sunday morning

Its suggested due to the wet conditions that we take a bit of firewood with us as well... I'll make sure I have some in the car.

 

[mick91]

Still in for it. Water may be an issue. I'll go out tomorrow and and grab a water butr

 

[mick91]

Our of curiosity what makes the water out of bounds?

Something to do with bacteria... its been tested and they don't recommend it for consumption.

I'll be taking 16 litres as I usually do... only use about 5 litres for myself, but I take it for emergencies.

 

[mick91]

Surely boiling or steris should render it safe though? I'll still take some though. Asda do a 5l bottle pretty cheap

Yep, 5l bottle at Asda was £1.10 today... actually might switch to the larger bottles myself... I usually carry the smaller 2l bottles because I can fit 3 in my grab bag, but wondering if the 5l one would fit in there.

You looking forward to it Mick?

 

[mick91]

Can't wait Dewi! Been getting wrong for going on about it! Is there a supermarket en route or near by?

Swmbo even bought me a present for it

It's like she knows!

 

[dewi]

Aye, there'll be somewhere we can stop off if needs be... reckon it'll take me about 3 hours to get to you with traffic... couple of hours down to the woods... but we pass through some easy access shops on the way.

I'm a tad giddy about it to be honest... I've don't think I'll get away with talking about it much more at home before someone kicks me in the head

Still waiting to hear back from Wacker... hopefully snatch him on Friday morning and we'll drive up together.

I better post up that map so people know where they're going.

 

[mick91]

No problem Dewi that sounds good to me, send me a homing pigeon (or a text whatever tickles you) and I'll pop the kettle on when you're up here in God's country!
Has anyone heard from Kurt? Not seen him around in some time now

Kurt?? What is his screenname?

PM me your mobile number... that brew sounds like a plan

Okay... here's the map of the site...

Hopefully thats worked okay.... closest town is Ambergate... and the postcode earlier in the thread will get you to Holly Lane... rest should be easy.

Anyone who needs it, PM me and I'll send you my mobile number... hoping to arrive between 12 - 1pm... only thing that will hold us up is traffic.

 

[mick91]

Honest outrage. Will send my number as soon as I find it out

lol Well I just PM'd him... didn't know he was Kurt... he's not been online since early October though, so we might be a man down before we even start.

With the response to the thread though, looks like it might just be me and thee Mick lol

 

[mick91]

Be a laugh either way! Grotzilla has been active too recently, were both just too gobby haha

True... John posted earlier today... and Ged is always lurking somewhere

Just need Wacker to shout out and we'll have got the band back together!

Still deciding on food items to take... I'm noodled up for those tasty half time snacks, but trying to decide... bacon or gammon. Tricky.... tricky. I knew a girl called Pandora once...

I've been keeping myself quiet about it but tonight when a tide of kit started to engulf the living room she took herself off to bed. She's probably thinking it'll be all tidied away by the morning

 

[mick91]

I'm copiously supplied with sausages and burgers, along with spam, bacon grill and pasta. I'll pick bits and bobs up for cans and stuff. And those MRE tuna packs I've been trying to get rid of for 3 years

We'll have to assign you as Quartermaster then Mick lol

Blimey, its 2 days in the woods... not an Arctic expedition!

I'll be much the same food wise, mine will have meat, bread and gravies... 3 things I can't live without.

When it comes to food I would rather be looking at it than for it
