Sussex BCUK Meet fo JUNE: weekend of June 29th/30th on B17

[Neumo]

please could someone let me know if this pitch is suitable for hammock, bivvy, tent or all,

The short answer is we dont know as it's the first time we have been on that pitch; we go to some of the more remote pitches during the summer when the main ones get busy. It's a forest so there will be trees to hang a hammock from but sometimes they are less of them than on other pitches. Spots for tents are not normally a problem... (resists the temptation to mention N1...)

As mentioned before, if Robin or Jack can collect the fees & pay the office before you leave that would be good; remember that I have already paid a £15 deposit for this meet, so that needs to come off the bill.

 

[Dark Horse Dave]

Well, so much for my New Year's aspiration to do a bushcraft meet every month. This'll be my first one this year! Just a Friday to Saturday afternoon for me this time. Bringing 2, well-behaved kids with me as well.

Hope to, just been really busy with the business, things have gone mad this year.

I was hoping to get to the last one, but was working, the June one was never going to happen though as it's the same weekend as the F1 from Silverstone
