Hi Guys

In view of the numbers that it seems will be attending this meet may I sugest an another alternative venue for consideration - Yellow Wood.

This would give us tree dwellers plenty of room for hammocking, good facilities for shovel runs, good parking, and most importantly easy access for all the beer and food.

Yes, see what your saying there Stewart, however, in my experience so far, the amount of people who SAY they are coming and the amount who actually turn up is usually two different things. I'm not having a pop at anyone or critisizing but many people with all good intentions, commit, yet when it comes to the crunch, something occurs and they dont to come. It's happened to me (once ) and i've no doubt it will happen again, i've just got a feeling that i'll know everyone on sight. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

At any time of the year John, and it would make a change to see you in pink.

BNI has heaps of space. For parking we could run a ferry if it gets really full.

It is white not Pink!

This year we are doing "Babes in the Wood - and Robin Hood" - quite good for a bushcraft meet!
I insist that we do a costume meet!

 

[dr jones]

costume meet !
in that case im coming as a" bushcrafter in winter plummage" does that count ?on a more serious note if parking is an issue try to arrange car sharing ( god i sound like Ken Livingstone ) Or perhaps we should search out a camp site thats on a bus route LOL. sorry im in one of those daft moods..but maybe ........ pack- horse.......cablecar ............teleportation booth ....going off on a tangent again !
Hey what about "BCUK the movie " a musical, thriller , costume drama think of it as a clever combination of The Matrix and Mary Poppins . But im affraid well have to do all our own stunts because CGI takes too long and would mean taking a laptop in to the woods , not very bushcraft! Im not drunk ! how dare you !
comments please i think its got legs ...................oh no it hasnt .
cheers

He doesn't need it. My face hurt last time I sat with Rolly....

 

[dr jones]

Can you rephrase that please Rich . many things could be read into your last post !

 

[Dougster]

Sorry.

Rolly is a great mimic - and very funny, I laughed until it hurt.....

Also been living in Wales too long, but that's another story.

 

[Jedadiah]

OK peep's, times getting close, anyone got a good suggestion for a venue for this get together? I know we have a choice but i think we aught to pin a place down so people can start planning. All suggestions gratefully recieved.

 

[sapper1]

I'm up for it,I've only been to BNI and GP so I'll go along with the more experienced guys.Happy to go anywhere really.

 

[John Fenna]

Somewhere easy to get to by road...just incase it snows or the roads are icy!
I can see BNI getting cut off easily wheras GP is probably gritted right up to the parking!

 

[Dougster]

GP has more shelter with the trees.

By the way, as it's a special event. We seem to be doing a 'food theme'

I'm going to do a venison and pheasant casserole and Will; a Goose I believe.

Anyone else up for doling out a little food?
