I snail mailed to Sam G (Tanith Dude)
PM snail mail and email. Will have a look for map today Steven
There is no such thing as a stranger. There is only a friend you haven't met yet
Steven I had a wee look. Is the wood called Broadstone Warren? I can print off a 1:25 or a 1:50 scale map of the wood.
Incidentally this may be of assistance http://www.magazine.ordnancesurveyleisure.co.uk/magazine/map-symbols.html its a 'how to'
As I said. pm me details email / snail. I'm sure I can scan it once printed which would make delivery easier

Yes, it's Broadstone Warren. Looks as though a few people are going to bring maps but as you have kindly offered it would be nice to have one. my email is steven.tagg@icloud.com 1:25 would be great.
Thanks for the link. I've downloaded a few things from OS and they are very helpful.
Cheers

Great, thanks Luke.
Re. fire lighting - I'm just wanting to keep my hand in as I haven't done much natural fire lighting recently. I'll be bringing a stash of char cloth, birch bark, cramp balls, thistle heads and some sphagnum moss that I have been drying and want to practice getting a fire going with each of them. I've got a new fire steel to try out. We have the group fire going throughout the meet but I want to practice getting a fire going from scratch with each of these tinders (hopefully) and gathering/processing wood, which should be a challenge given the amount of rain we're currently getting!
I've also never made a fire reflector and wouldn't mind having a go.
Look forward to meeting you.

Sounds like you have plenty to practice with, fire steel is a great tool to use in winter conditions. This is the best time of year to keep on top of your fire lighting, I will also be keeping my hand in making the most of the cold and wet conditions. I will be keeping myself busy with various tasks I have set myself, I need some new photos for Greencraft's FB page.

Wow, that meet suddenly got a lot bigger. Have been very busy so did not look at this for a while.
Stuart: Yes, please bring your mate along, especially if he is another Canoe camper
Luke: Yes done DSC1 & would be good to have a chat about DSC2 etc...
I have to go on Saturday night now as I have to do something on Sunday now, but will stay for the meal. Hopefully Wayne will be staying till the Sunday so can take the parachute with him, if not then I may have to take it with me or pick it up off one of you later. We can work that out on the day.

There is a chance I am going to be turning up on a bike for this one. Does anyone have a spare chair that I could borrow for the weekend?
