Right guys & girls I have just been in contact with Ian at Glyn-y-Mul Farm, he needs a rough idea of the amount of cars that we will be bringing so he can arrange parking for us so if you could let me know numbers asap I can get this sorted. If of cause you can share lifts with each other it would be better.;)

Also he has told me that the woodland has dried out nicely and says the old oak woodland is looking good for us, he is doing a bit of felling this week so there will be plenty of firewood for us.:D
 
Hi,

I'm after a little info about the weekend of 14-16th Sept.

Having never been to an organised camp meet up like this before, i'm just after some answers.

Is anyone else bringing thier missus / otherhalf, I'm trying to envolve her into things these days.

Would it be ok to bring my dog along ? (cocker spaniel) tame as tap water (although i may decide not to bring her)

Is there any activities planned or is it just pitch up and do your own thing and mingle at your own leisure ?

Well, my Mrs is coming along with Jed Jnr and the dog's, i don't think there will be any organised activities, just muck in and try stuff out. I think Greg's going to try some fish cooking so i'm bringing a red snapper to try some filleting and 'butterfly' cooking. Barbecue on the Saturday night so that's going to be social. We should be turning up on Friday evening so if anyone's going to be there then, we will see you.
 
I think Rik said bring your own meat (he actually listed many types), i'll probably go for straigt forward sausages etc myself, don't know what the rules are for a-huntin' and a-trappin'.:rolleyes:

As for parking, we'll just be bringing the one car.
 
Hello Greg,

looks like myself and Pete (AKA Ogri the the trog) will be there for the meetup, we're both heading in from different parts of the country, so will be in 2 separate cars.

The barbeque sounds good, i'll bring my brazier along, plus a pot bellied bbq, if we can get the cars close to where we're pitching up, then I can bring my cool box with some food in it for the barbeque. I was thinking of the usual sausage, burgers etc, and maybe some kebabs, bit of pineapple always goes down well too!

We'll be camping in Pete's new purchase, which includes central heating!!!

See you there, Friday afternoon.
 
I don't think we are going to be able to park near the woods, by the looks of it we are going to have to carry our gear in!
 
Me solo, in my van on friday noonish. Staying as long as you all can put up with me!

As long as you keep us entertained with your songs!:lmao:

I have spoken to Ian again this morning, he says he is going to send me an email which I will forward to everyone via PM reference parking etc for the w/end.
Just tying up loose ends..

I don't think we are going to be able to park near the woods, by the looks of it we are going to have to carry our gear in!

Yes, you have to carry it in unless you bring a quad bike with you;) Its downhill, through a couple of gates over a railway track (the only trains using it, carry coal from the Tower washery down into Cardiff)

A couple of photo's to wet your whistle





















 
Here's a deal Nigel, if your going to be taking lot's of pic's this weekend, i'll do a write up to go with them and wsubmit it as an article for the BCUK magazine. Tony says he'd like some articles about meet up's outting forward so we could do that if your game.
