Yeah will do Dave, not sure what pitch yet as there is some water logging and Iona is changing the one we had booked, but it will be along the same track as D8 and let you know later. I'm there from around 9am, and the start is 11am onwards, will bring the knife as well for you to have a look at. Be good to see you all!

I will get there for 1 or 2, depending on how late I am out tonight. Will be good to have someone to help put the parachute up.

The Eagle has landed. Met John on the way in and the Ranger car Park gate is LOCKED I have fond out, so is not open as previously stated. You can park in the ranger car park and walk in OR drive in from the main entrance, unload. & then drive back to the ranger car park. The fire is on, the chute is up & it is coming up for beer o 'clock so all is well. Jack is inbound & so far it is just Colin. & I.

A most agreeable meet and a bit more bushy than of late. Got the bow drill out and as a group effort of bows, blocks and string, got an ember. Also got an ember from my magnifying glass too.

Thanks to Dave and Colin for sorting pretty much everything.

and an extra thanks to Colin for the two man heater we had Saturday night.

We won't mention the phantom sausage kicker as some wounds are too deep to heal...:)

That was one of the nicest meets we have had for a while, with good people & good weather. I enjoyed doing the Roast Chicken on a spit, with Colin's help, which turned out better than expected. We must do some more roasts & other types of communal meals at the next meets.

I have booked up the next 4 meets (May, June, July & August), as they are very busy this summer. I will put up the details later today but they are at sites down the hill from the middle toilet block (around the area B17 is in). The August one is on the Bank Holiday at the end of the month so will be a 4 day meet if you want it...
