Been there about ten years ago. So busy now I almost yearn for it. Not quite though.

OK, for those that are interested please let me know if it is a definite, as I need to confirm numbers with the site owner.

It will not be a hard core bush-craft meet something a little less formal just a chance for people to get to know each other, and maybe a chance to try out some of your kit.
So there is no need to worry if you’re not a hardened mountain man, not many of us are.
As rik-uk mentioned I will bring some wood for friction fire lighting sets, and if you get bored with them you can always chuck them on the fire.

I'll be along for the weekend, and bringing my GF's 12 year old son who's dead keen and will probably deafen everyone with his endless questions

 

[rik_uk3]

Bloody hell Andrew, and I'd just got rid of my kid's, big lump (that's Luke 19) can't make this trip, and my 21 year old daughter has promised not to ask to start camping until her first trip which is the bushmoot in July, and your bringing a 12 year old who will ask questions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, are you a mad man

Only joking Andrew, that will be great, all welcome, and I'm sure the lad will have a good time, and as for questions, well, thats how you learn and develop

 

[Nigel]

Hi Justin time.

What time will you be arriving? It’s just so I can let the farmer know.

Cheers
Nigel

 

[Ed]

rik_uk3 .... as you live a 10 min walk from me, is there any chance of a lift... we'll split petrol costs? Please pm me with details

Hi Andrew, Ed, Rik and Sam.

Great weekend thanks for all the help with everything. The food was great, don’t think I will be able to eat for a week.

Ed, the boy’s were well chuffed and can’t wait to go to the woods to try everything out. Thanks Ed.

Rich, Thanks for the stove the boy’s have already got it going in the garden.

Sam, keep practicing.

Just got to clean up all my kit now.

Looking forward to the next one.

All the Best

Thank YOU Nigel, your a gentleman, and there are very few of us left It was a pleasure to meet all, especialy young Sam, a nice lad, and on the right route to becoming a nice man.

Andrew, I even liked the dog, although he did hijack my sleeping bag

Nigel, what do you mean about the food All we had was Chicken curry on Friday, Beef Stew Saturday, plus your usual breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday morning :You_Rock_

Ed, guess what happened to the Laplander when I got home

 

[Nigel]

Hi Rik,

Never mind the dog, how about my size nine muddy paws, did you manage to clean the tent?

Thanks mate your a true gent too.

[Justin Time]

great weekend guys, Sam says thanks, in fact he's just telling his dad all about it on the phone now!

 

[Ed]

Just a quick thankyou to you all.... Great food and great company, we'll have to organise another one soon

Nigel : I'm glad the boys liked the bits and bobs.... the knives may need a good sharpen as they are old student mora knives that just got thrown back in the box.

Justin : It was good to meet up with you again... and thanks for sharing the wiskey .... I hope you and sam had a great time..... and keep practicing that bow drill

Rik : I'd guess either luke nicked it or you've lost it amongst all them stoves ... let me know if you need another and I'll meet up in town with you for a pint.

Again, thanks for a fantstic time. I'll look forward to the next one
