Any one already posted is more than welcome.:You_Rock_


I have yet to resolve the parking but that will be sorted.:)
The nearest train station is Arundel. I will be happy to pick anyone up from the station and ferry them to the site.

Guys,

My lovely wife informed me last night that she's away that weekend Skiing somewhere in France so I've got to stay home and look after my dog...can't bring him along as he's not friendly with other animals and would happily try to kill any other dog there and as much wildlife as he can get his paws on! lol

I might be ok to get down there for the day on the Saturday and if I do I'll bring my forestry gear and would be happy to fell the two ash trees for you and cut you a heap of chopping blocks, plus any other tree work I can do while I'm down there.

Wayne, can I let you know in a few days if I can make the Saturday or are you limiting it to only those staying overnight? Let me know mate.

Cheers,

Bam. :D

Once again thanks for the interest.

2BC for Saturday.

Emma and Purple Heath are you coming?

Sadly due to the sheep being in the area I normally use for parking we will have to park along the road. This shouldn't be a problem there is enough space.

Pumbaa. The petrol strimmer might be any idea.

Friday night arrival about 7pm.

My mobile number is 07771450184

Map of the wood and area

Please bring your own food and beer. I will have a large brew box for tea and coffee etc. Saturday evening will be group BBQ food suppiled by myself.

There should be plenty of time to practise craft type skills.

Sounds great Wanye.

Where abouts on that map should we be parking? Below the "t" of Binsted? or near the bridlepath above Church farm?

This will be the perfect opportunity to retry the fire-by-friction skills I picked up last weekend :D

Look forward to meeting some new faces and catching up again with some old ones.

The parking will be along the B yellow road. Between A27 and Church Farm. Usual parking is at church farm but sheep are going to be there for another 4 weeks.

If coming from the west along the A27 you need to turn right by the first PH on map there is no right turn further along the A27.
