Suffolk Bushcraft Group

[Big Stu 12]

Following last weekend, and some of the comments from the attenders, I have emailed Orchards and requested the night of the 2nd March 2013,

Myself I am thinking about going on Friday 1st and making it a two nighter so to be able to do a few things, try out new toys, try new ideas, and also maybe this time do a camp spoon which for some reason did not do this time... lol.

Experianced and newbies welcome...

Tree and Ground Dwellers welcome...

I am looking about a start time of Midday.

http://www.orchardcampsite.co.uk/

The charge is £5 pppn.
There is wood that can be brought on site £7 per barrow - (cost divided amongst whole group, This time it was £1.50 each as we used just over a barrow).

It seemed that the Saturday Group Meal was well received, so will carry that on as well, This time was a Beef Stew and Dumplings, with apple pie and Custard, cost of this came to £3.60 each. (will try to keep to the same sort of cost...but thats down to how much it cost from the Supermarket....) - of course you can cater yourself if you require.

There is a Toilet Block (showers and toilets), open and water is available from Taps on the site,

Of course photo's being taken is ok....

And Fluffy Hot water bottles are welcome.....

Also dont forget, peole do bring swaps and items for sale so a meet can be a great place to get some kit..

I you plan to attend then Paste and copy Post and place name on bottom of list, adding also if you require the Group Meal, and if you would liek to stay the Friday (if we do the friday, as I would like to gauge the interest for that)

List of Attending

1. Big Stu -Group Meal - Friday

I promised at the overnighter on Saturday that I'd upload some photos of my little patch of woodland.

Well, this certainly isn't all of the land, but I was there earlier today having a cup of coffee and a walk (with my dogs) so decided to take some pics of part of the place.

Enjoy
