Spring North Meet

[Graham_S]

Sounds good to me. Would fishing be allowed in the lake, not for me but Ben [ Fishaben] is keen on fishing as well as bushcrafting. Ian.

the local angling club has the rights for fishing at the lake. if you want to fish, you'll need a permit.

if middle wood is a problem there is an other scout camp not far away called bispham hall http://www.bisphamhall.org.uk/ it is similar to middle wood not quite as big but big enuff

Graham,
HOW on earth do you know about the fishing rights at this venue when you live in Fife???
Ian.

Sorry Graham that looks like I,m being sarky or funny. But I,m not, just very curious.
Ian.

Whichever site is decided on. I'm sure it'll be a great weekend.

I'll look forward to meeting a few new faces.

The site for Bispham Hall is down, here is an alternative

I may have found another site near to forest camp, got to take a look at it,it sounds ideal, it may be possible to use it for the meet. If not, it is round the corner from the campsite and the owner says we could do some snaring there, I will update when I have made a visit!

[hammy]

Is this meet still on as I,m loking forward to it. ?

 

[Goose]

Still on as far as I know, last weekend in april(28th april to the 1st may), only thing that isn't confirmed is a venue as yet.
I can book Forest Camp if wanted, or there is Rangermans venue any other options?

Oh eck!
I hadn't noticed, this may well mean that the Kommandant will withdraw my weekend pass.

There is a station not too far away, but not sure on the service. If it goes ahead there PM me closer to date and I will be able to arrange to pick you up from a mainline station, Warrington or Runcorn.
