Wayne,

If I'm not busy moving house I'd love to come along for my first experience of a BCUK meetup.
Can I let you know near the time?

Cheers
Tim

Hi Tim.

Moving house is always stressful. You going to need some time in the woods.

Im off to those woods now

Sounds like an ideal opportunity to test some new gear, count me in.

(Guess that means Marts potential transport logisitics problem is sorted )

Maver. i want your job you must be earning a mint. Your never in the UK.

Shame you can't make it though.

Although If everyone enjoys themselves no reason why it couldn't become a reasonably regular event.

True too true, im never in the UK, been doing it the same job for 17 years now and love every minute of it, i look at the travel as a bonus, i've been to countries working that i would probably never have visited if it wasn't for the job, i know one thing im going to have one heck of a happy retirement.

Maver, you've gota sort out this work thing, your missing out on all the fun

Have a sicky

Sounds like it's going to be quite a gathering, I'm really looking forward to it.
Only one thing worries me though, with this many hoping to come whats the parking situation like?

Unfortunately, I'd only be able to get up for the Sunday due top work and that leaves transport problems

The parking is causing me a few headaches at the minute i am going to speak to the landowner this week when i can pin him down. I am hoping to have it sorted by the end of is week.

The cunning plan so far is for most people to arrive Friday evening or saturday morning.

I am hoping that you happy campers will help clear some of the woodland scrub to make a more suitable camping area than the area we will use. bring suitable gloves and tools.

I did a site survey at the weekend and have discovered 2 Ash trees that need to be felled.

Another thing to speak with the landowner about. i shall get a tree surgeon in before the meet. this should help provide plenty of chopping blocks and some fire wood.

The track leading to the wood is a bit damp so good boots need to be worn.

I am hoping to have a decent sized bender constructed with a stove in time for the meet.

If anyone can think of something i have forgotten to mention

Hi Wayne.........As we are all on easy speaking terms here, could we not car share so that there is less parking to find................Jon
