Hmmm, seems to be getting quite popular now. Which is excellent.

Bigstu: ex army sleeping bag? Would that be the British issue? What I've got, can highly recommend it. Bit heavy but that's down to the outer water proof layer.

As for dates, well I'm going on a test run hopefully on Friday 27th. Anyone welcome to come.
I'm always good to go on on a Friday night and every other Saturday. If got enough nofice, can book time of work, so could do any date really.
How bout you?

Guess it depends on how badly everyone itching to get out. Know I am... A LOT!!

Maybe if everyone could say what days they are available, we could get a general idea when to plan it for?

Friday the 27th looks good to me, the only thing I would have to come from work as I got to work that day, I got to check the dairy and see if I am not seeing the kids, yeah I ordered the Arctic British Army one from ebay at lunchtime, :).

Just been on the tinternet, and yes more items brought, a Mora clipper, and a tarp, a fire steel, some paracord......

Good bit of kit. Love the sleeves on it.
I'll be using that, dd tarp and hammock.

Is anyone else available for Friday 27th?

And anyone any good at foraging? Something I'm keen to learn.

Forgot to add:
If you can't find basha/tarp, can borrow my spare one.
And what time will you be finishing work mate?

Hi,
I may be able to make it on the 27th. Just have to make sure, Ben where abouts is the wood? If you don't want people to know PM me the info if you can.
I can now use all the Amazon vouchers I got for Xmas on gear hopefully.
Thanks for your time

Woods is on outskirts of bedstead village.
I've got a few pictures I'll up load later when I'm not on phone and give you exact location using Google Maps.

Bigstu, that's fine. I'll be working til bout that time too. Hopefully we can get setup before dark.

So, that's 3 maybes so far, can we interest any others?

Sound like a nice group coming together, are you still thinking about getting there after work or earlier. is the site accessible by car?.

How are we thinking about cooking/fires ect.

Ben you have already spoken about foraging ect, is there water there or will we need to bring to site?
