Enough innuendo already...

Jackbr: yes if you want to bring the bin that would be good, as I may bring along a large checkin to try cooking in it. It may need a wash before we turn it into an oven. Yes bring your dutch oven along & I will bring mine, as neil wont be there with his mobile kitchen as usual (or the chute).

Looking forward to this one, as may be one of the coldest nights out this year so will be a good test of kit for winter camping.

Neumo, will your fire grill be coming too? If not, I've got the bottom off an old supermarket trolley I can bring that should do the job nicely

Chicken sounds good as long as we avoid an unpleasant experience that happened to me on a school trip... we were on a sailing boat and the master had his bratty daughter along. A beautiful roast chicken came out of the oven and before I could say anything, the teacher said "my daughter doesn't like the skin" and tossed it into the bin! The best bit! Had to get that off my chest... sorry :)

Cool, trash can it will be! Will try to clean it out, but it is already loaded on the landy and full of logs. Dutch oven too, chicken casserole for as many as I can fit in. I've got a griddle as well, I'm sure we can work a way out to get some heat under it. 2 parallel logs springs to mine.

Hello everyone,

I'd be more than happy to join but it will only be possible for me on Sat 25th in the morning (returning to London on the same day in the evening - I wish I could stay longer). Will it still be ok ? I'll have to come by train since I live in London and don't have a car.
I litterally have almost no bushcraft equipment, is it still possible for me to come (maybe more something like a simple "visitor" :sad6: ? It would be a good introduction for me to Bushcraft since I'm rather a newbie.

Many thks.

Bruce

Hemdale, you'll be most welcome. Everyone has to start somewhere. No point having all the gear and no idea! Get the feel for it first- you may not like it. See you when you arrive.

p.s. Don't worry when you approach the campsite- everyone will be staring at you. That's because we're nosey. We'll chain Spandit up and you should be ok :lmao:

When you get to Broadstone Warren, go to reception & tell them you're with BCUK. They'll direct you (I presume we're in D1 again which is straight up the hill). Assuming you're coming on Saturday there'll be a few men dressed in a variety of woodland colours sat round a fire with possibly one pretty girl in a pink jacket. Just wander over & say hello. If you can, bring a chair or something to sit on

Are you taking your pink jacket again then?

I may well be just coming down for Saturday day and night now only, mostly to avoid Robin in a pink coat and Jack in a catsuit with cutouts if possible but due to other stuff too.
