Hiya

Is there room for one more - at least on the Saturday? I'd like to get an early start for my bushcamping this year!

Hi Wayne,

I'm still on for the weekend - feel the easing of cabin fever is approaching fast. Aim to arrive 9.30am ish +/- Time to get some bacon rolls on the go!

Womble you had an open invitation to the wood anyway.

I am really looking forward to the weekend.

 

[Platypus]

Sorry I can't give you firm Yes/No at the moment Wayne, but work has been really hectic since coming back and I may have to work over the weekend.

I am still going to do my best to come over at some point during the meet-up, but won't know much more until Friday.

Are you giving out more detailed info on how to find you or a mobile number ?(it looks quite a large area )

Cheers
Platypus

Just realised you already did give out your mobile number

 

[Rob]

Hey Platypus

If our paths cross over the weekend and you have your axe with you, I can have a look at it.

Cheers Rob, I'll bring it with me if I do get to come play.

 

[Womble]

Is there a grid reference or postcode for the woods?

I've had a look on the thread, but can't see directions.

Map of the wood and area

Here you go....

 

[Adi]

The charts have really down graded from last weekend. I cant see it getting much colder than it is now, there is a chance of snow for both Friday and Saturdays but this will turn to rain Saturday evening and continue through out Sunday.

I was hoping for snow, much nicer than rain.

i have just completed fixing my delica so i have wheels.

Since it has taken me longer than i expected i havent done as much prep as i would have liked for the weekend. Advanced apologies for that.

I shall complete some chores and get down to the wood for 12.

Everyone is welcome from then onwards.

Wayne

 

[Marts]

Me and Boxy will be down bright and early on saturday morning - apparently the taxi has to work today

 

[andyn]

Looks like i'll be the first person to say a big thank you for an excellent weekend down at "wayne's place"

Its a lovely wood that with a bit of care and hard work, which it certainly seems to be getting, is going to be an excellent place for Wayne's courses.

Was great to meet you all and put some faces to names and to meet up with some of you again.

A big thank you to Wayne for hosting and to Richard for all the cooking on Saturday.

Look forward to coming back in March and meeting you again Wayne and your instructing staff and seeing the changes to your teaching area.

Thanks again and good luck with the woods.

Andy

Huge thanks to you Wayne for an excellent meet...................Jon

Most of us who turned up.

The camp.

Chatting round the first ash tree that came down.

I said to BamboDoggy (who was doing the cutting), see if you can get the tree to land on the stump of the first tree to come down. Look where it landed.........

Nice to meet all you peeps and thanks again...............Jon
