What are the dimensions of the billy cans, Stu? I'm in need... but only if they're the right kind of size for my needs.

Diameter and depth of the outer-most can would be sufficient info!

Put me down for a set. This'll enable me to do both of my boil-in-the-bag courses (meal and desert) at the same time, in the same water. Saves time, saves resources... I'm all in favour of that

Would this leather pouch accommodate the Bacho Laplander folding saw by any chance (even with slight modification)? I'm looking for a belt pouch for it

I have not been able to get the the Surplus Guy yet, he has been called out as his a fire man, hopefully will get to him, before I leave......

How far from the meet up point is it to the wood we use? and I guess we will need to carry everything in or can we drive in and then take the cars out?

Cheers

Chris

 

[Big Stu 12]

the woods has access into it for loading/unloading, then most cars back to the parking area, about 700m away, hope that helps, the woods is about 1 1/4 miles from the meeting point, only about 50 meters of that is public road, the rest is farm track/ farm driveway Last 500 meters is down the side of a field.

 

[ozzy1977]

Cheers mate

 

[SJStuart]

Getting ready to set off... pairing down as much as possible then have to try starting the bike :|

 

[River98]

Not going to make it up lads. Have a great weekend.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Got back home, now had a shower.... that's the best thing about striking a camp... but I still hate leaving after a great weekend with a great bunch of guys.

Friday Started off with meeting Carl and Chris (Tagnut69) at the meeting place Colin was already at the woods making the most of the surroundings, we then made our way to the woods Colin had finished setting up, and we got our pits sorted, set up the communal area and the Latrine, Simon Turned up mid afternoon with all his gear on the Bike later, followed by Kirkland on Paul Turned up with Jordan, that night all we did was sit and chat, until bed time came,



The next morning we all awoke to one of the loudest dawn chorus ever, that included a cookoo, what a lovely sound, some went to sleep after that, breakfast was had, and the day begin Simon and Kirkland went into the woods and made a nice natural shelter that Kirkland used that night, Myself, Chris a Colin started to make a Shave Horse, and some more seats, Carl went into Navigation practice mode and went for a walk, Paul set to work doing some campy things along with Jordan did a bit of carving,



Carl had brought a Chronograph so that I could Check my Old HW35 and see how well it was working, as it had been sitting in a cupboard for about 25 years... so I'd put a bit of Oil into the thing and worked it a couple of times, after a number of shots we started to get a figure on the Chrono.... average was about 3.8 flb..... so some work to be done there me thinks.......

Saturday night saw the Pork spit roast in rolls, with a Eaton mess type desert..mmmm all were well fed..

Sunday morning saw a slow wake up and pack up, we finally left the site and made our way home,

It was a great weekend with some great guys, and some good activities, shame that others could not make it, hope to see you soon, The shave horse, seats, and shelter are being left there, ready for the next meet so we can expand the assets we have at the site..

I have asked the Owner if we can use air guns, and do archery and the answer was yes, I will put up more details ready for the next meet, also I have asked if we can have a meet for the August Bank holiday running into the week after, starting Saturday 24th Aug to Wednesday 28th I will put up all information, once I have confirmed it with the landowner
