The more the merrier :) Nigel and I will be going down a day earlier, and I'll post a mobile number here nearer the time for contacting me. As I said before, the site owner will be away and does not want the 'farm sitter' bothered with phone calls and knocks at the door of the farm.

Hi All,

I was planning a trip to Glyn y Mul farm in December, not sure what date yet.
I would like to build a semi-permanent group shelter. If anyone is interested please pm me.

Nigel and I have been talking and fancy making this camp a quarterly event. This would be worked to fixed dates which would give people months of advanced notice of the camp and offer a chance to book time off work etc.

Also, Nigel suggests that we pick a 'bushcraft' theme for each camp where we can share skills etc

So, February is wild food. Don't panic, your not being asked to live on ferns for the weekend, just share your ideas and recipes etc. Bring what you can, anything from rabbit to mushrooms. Don't panic if you don't have wild food, this is just an idea and up to you, or we could do shelter building, just say what you fancy here on this thread and we'll go with the majority vote

I'll be mainly eating stew;)
