3 Nighter Monthly Suffolk Bushcraft Meeting 3rd to 6th May 2013
This is a new site that I have not seen...
For those already in the list please can you amend.
The charge is £10 for the two nights or £15 for 3 nights, (if you want to stay 1 night then I am afraid for this one, it will still be £10 the cost is being dictated by the site at the mo..) - I have just had to pay a Deposit to secure the site... so I hope its a good one... I will collect payment for the site as you arrive in Cash please.
We will be allowed to glean Wood from the site,
There will be a Saturday Night Group Meal, made this time by Kirkland as he has offered, he is offering a Curry, Thank you for the offer Kirkland.
Simon has offered to do another nights Meal as well..Thank You for the offer Simon.
(The Group meals are normally supplied but the person making them then the cost is divided between the participants.)
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. I am meeting with the farmer to look at the possible sites....It sounds like I have the choice of Three yet to be confirmed..
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..
All Attendee's, attend and take part in any activities at their own risk....by attending you agree to this term.
If you plan to attend, then Paste and Copy the Whole Post and place name on bottom of list, adding also if you require the Group Meals, and how many nights your staying.
If there is any activity you would like to do, just add it to the list, hopefully someone will be able to help, or you could show someone what to do..

List of Activities -
Can people please champion the activities, to be done on a as and when basis..
Thank you for your support in championing the activity's, Shelter Building has been confirmed as OK, as long as we stick within the SSI condtions, saying that there probably will not be much greenery this time of year so the cover for a shelter will be floor debris..
Its also good that people will take part in the running of activity's as this will promote ideas an the passing of knowledge

3. Tarpology

I ve had a responce from the owner about Shadowbush, and here it is.... and a very important couple of points, that we would have to adhere to, if not we could jepodise any future nights there, I think anyone in the group would agree with me asking anyone attending the weekend to leave, if they did break the conditions of the SSI.
"Maybe some of the cars can be parked in the farm yard. Shadowbush is excellent I will just have to show you the boundaries and it will be important to respect them. Part of Shadowbush is a SSI, so that needs to respected too, but I’ll run you through that, its not complicated or a hassle. But yes to the making of shelters within those relatively minor constraints. Glad you’re seemingly excited by the prospect. We are too."
