Ones about 5 x 4 and the other is about 5 x 3.5 two tarps make for cheaper replacements if one gets damaged.

Just been reading the reviews and two of them state that it's very thin and will easily rip. Maybe something we should be aware of.

Stu and I had a quick measure up at the site, but final design will depend on tarp size.
Yeah, those tarps are lightweight 80gsm, maybe we could go for something the same size, but more heavyweight.
No problem with size, I think that will be more than adequate. I was concerned for the longevity, didn't want to be replacing them too often, a more heavyweight tarp would be ideal. I know they will be more expensive but cheaper in long run.

We reckoned that the apex of the Cruck Frame would be 11 to 12 feet high, and the crossbeams at 8 feet high, to suit the tarps.
I dont think we need anything bigger then we have as far as foot print goes, my thoughts are that we have two sides to the roof, so only one needs to be replaced, and maybe have a spare in teh shed in case we get tehre and its damaged, may be save an old one for that,
may be two of these?

For the archers,I have glued some of the smaller targets up, should I cut them out like the wolf one or keep them more squared off?
I've now had quite a few responces re my PM on 10 to 18 year olds, thank you very much for your effort , a couple of them have raised questions of when the under 18's should be allowed to come to the meets, and what the ramifications are with under 18's comming to the meets, all these questions I hear and take on board, it is something that we as a group will need to peg down and get sorted, and think we should descuss it at a meet, not really on an open forum its for the group to decide not anyone that just jumps on the thread.
My feeling is as you all know that a family camp every year is a good thing as it gets all the family involved, but this should not be the only time the children should be allowed to come as all family can not just make one date, but to allow them to come as and when they want,
BUT if they do come they are the responsabillty of the parent/adult that brings them and they alone accept the risks of bushcrafting and the location and facilitys at the woods have, we of cause as adults have the duty of care to everyone on that site let alone the younger ones.
There may be a need that for a couple of meets a year its Over 18's Only, I say it this way round becuase its not many meets we have under 18's at the moment,
One thing I would put forward as was brought up in one of the replys is how will the parent know if the site is suitable for their child, if its a long standing bushcrafter they should know what Wild Camping is, if not then a visit for a meet so they find out, before bringing the under 18.
We are in a lucky position having 4 quarters to the woodland, if people would like more seclution away from the Communial Camping Area, a suggestion would be from the March meet we open up the Top Right Handside as we walk in the Main Top Enterance to the wood's, this is something we have spoken about for a number of meets.
And of course the most important thing is, well behaved children is a must, and I have always said if they can not behave then they will be asked not to return, in really extreme cases then they will be asked to leave as would any other person over stepping the mark.
As a group we will continue to embrace and encouagre familys to attend, and also recognise that there is a need for Adult time out as well.. thats for Mums and Dads alike
Bushcrafting is an experiance that has to be enjoyed by everyone. I hope this answers some of the questions that have and may arise you you may have thougt about.
