Please say which you would like so the guys know how many to cater for..

This is in a Woodland that is not camped by anyone else, The toilets and Water will be back at the farm yard where there is also a shower - approx a half a mile away depending on site chosen.

This is going to be wild camping in a real woodland not on their main Campsite.... "Access to or very near where you’ll camp, depending on the weather, is possible. There is a hard, all weather track to within 25 yards of the area I had in mind for you to make your camp".

Of course Photo's and the Micky being taken is compulsory ....

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

Also don't forget, people do bring swaps and items for sale so a meet can be a great place to get some kit..

Hi mate looking forward to meeting you at the do. Hopefully Stu's post above addresses this point.

This is going to be wild camping in a real woodland not on their main Campsite.... "Access to or very near where you’ll camp, depending on the weather, is possible. There is a hard, all weather track to within 25 yards of the area I had in mind for you to make your camp".

Okay thanks that gives me a better idea.

Just set up another LifeSaver bottle ready to go for the group meet (better to have it and not need it, and all that).

Saves us having to boil all the drinking water, and since I'm fairly sure we'll be having rain, we can collect it up and save some trips back and forth for more.

Also gives us an excuse to demo the thing properly... so that's always fun :)
