I was thinking of early May, for the next one, should give you plenty of time to sort it out with the wife Hopefully you will be able to make it.

Me again
Gill (Sam's mum) asked me to pass on her thanks to you guys for being so good with him over the weekend. He can't wait till the next time.

 

[Glen]

Just a little thanks for the tea and cake guys, it was nice to meet you, even if only briefly.
I'll keep an eye on future meets there if I'm around that way at the time, it would have been nice to have stayed at least one overnight, this time other things were already planned though.

I found it hard to believe Sam's only 12, seemed much more mature than many of the (mid)teenagers I come into contact with daily.

No problem Nigel, I'm up for it, first weekend in May OK with you? Lets fix a date so that people can plan, how about Friday 4th?

Richard

 

[Dougster]

That's great for me. 4th until early Sunday morning.

I'll book it in my diary, although hopefully I'll have got some work by then so we'll see how it goes.

we're talking about having a family weekend up there soon, it would be Gill's first time camping bushcraft stylee.

Did anyone get any decent pics to send to the farmer? Mine came out OK with the campfire but faces are very obvious.

 

[rik_uk3]

I sent a couple to the Ian, the farmer, he will post them he says, anyway, here are a couple more

Hey Fellas,

looks like a good time was had by all! Sorry i missed it but an unplanned hospital visit put paid to that idea! If your planning another for early May i hope i'll have recovered sufficently to attend! Good luck and well done!

 

[scanker]

Looks like you all had a good time. Nice site isn't it? I hope to be there again this year sometime.

 

[Nigel]

OK, we will go with the 4th of May.

Is there anything Bush-crafty that anyone would like to do?

If every one is in agreement we could do the same thing with the meals, I will bring all the pots and pans etc. it seemed to work well.

Andrew, will Sam be coming, as I will bring my lads as well.

Sorry guys.... I probably wont be able to make this one. I've been asked to be a guest instructor on a scouts bushcraft weekend .... as long as my crb check is through on time I'll be on that....

If my memory serves me correct, then that is the bank holiday weekend.... so you could have an extra day


Ed

 

[capacious]

I'd love to come to that, as long as I'm not sitting in a ditch eating crab sandwiches with the Marines...

Where is it being held?

 

[Greg]

Darn It, I won't be able to make this one either, God damn shift pattern!!!

 

[Brocktor]

i think the same place again capacious - neath http://www.glynymulfarm.co.uk/

 

[rik_uk3]

Same place as last time. You can bring your own food, or leave it to me and Nigel to cook for all, quite happy doing that, and it worked out well last trip. Nigel does a mean full monty breakfast, and the curry and stew went down well.

I fancy a pasta meal on Friday, maybe minced beef and smoked sausage cooked with garlic, basil, onions, peppers and a rich sauce; no need to rough it when your out and about after all

Garlic and herb bannock anyone?

Ed

So that's what you mean by freelance...

 

[Nigel]

Hi All,

I will be looking for a suitable site over the next few weeks. But as Rik mentioned we might use Glyn y mul farm again. As with regards to food it will be the usual cooked breakfast, Rik’s pasta and a Thai red curry for Saturday night.

If there is anything in particular folk would like to have a go at, or would like some more information please pm me.

I know this is a long shot, but is there any chance of moving the meet forward or back a week? I'm desperate to get to one of these meets and the 4-7th May is the only weekend I can't make it for the next 6 months (goddam BUSA )

[Greg]

May 18 - 20th would be brilliant!!

 

[Dougster]

I'm pretty much committed to 4th, but if we move it soon I could work on the other half and the dominos after her.

Don't panic fellas I know Nigel is on about a weekend every two months or so, and I'm going to do one inbetween these dates, outside Brecon if anyone is interested.

It looks like we'll have a large, regular get together - fantastic.
