It's gonna snow all night I am gonna pull out at the last minute absolutly gutted but I'll be even more annoyed if I sort all my gear and then not go in the morning because its snowed all night.
Sussex Bushcraft group meet for JANUARY 2013: Weekend of 18th/20th
- Thread starter Neumo
- Start date
Have fun guys,be careful on them roads,I am so looking forward to getting out again,but still no improvement with the health so cant make it,surprised myself how sane I have stayed being virtually housebound.On the subject of Dumplings,there is a mix you can buy from several well known supermarkets,makes it so much easier.
Snow isn't stopping me but chronic tooth ache is, hoping the antibiotics kick in and I can get up first thing in the morning.
I will check that link you mentioned Jack. My nose & eyelids have all swollen up so I may not be over, will make a call in the morning.
Edit: The link has been fixed as they have changed their website since we started doing meets

Have fun folks! Be surprised if I make it across, Iona's car won't go up or down the hill we're on safely, and there's no heating here atm so I'm a bit fed up with the cold. The pub at the end of my road is amazingly warm however.....
If I'm honest, I've had a grueling week at work (all demolition before we get to any carpentry), and I just fancy a weekend of my own bed and a bit more comfort. I could walk, it's only a couple of hours away, but I've worked about 70 hours of manual stuff this week and I just don't have the energy. Besides you're not going....
We've got a roaring fire. A well hung chute and are not feeling the cold yet other than peters chilli feet.
Sorry for pulling out; bit gutted really, but thought it sensible. My internet has been down for about 10 hours today so couldn't post earlier.
Have a good one!
Have a good one!
I am going to stay at home as I am not feeling up to driving for an hour each way on snow/ice & am feeling a bit bad after my op. So I am staying in & will be playing with catapaults instead.
Will pop by later this morning in the hope that someone may be mad enough....If not, it should make for a nice walk and some photo opportunities...

It was -3c last night JC, but we had the biggest fire of the weekend- glorious!
I had nice warm feet BTW
The snow started about 8am and is still going. The exit road was a bit dodgy but is passable. By the time we had packed away and paid, AndyBB had only just surfaced!
So to sum up, we arrived put up the chute, cut wood, re'hung the chute in the dark after the weight of snow stretched Pete's donation of 1/2mm nylon ropelmao, went to bed about 10.30pm as we were all cream cracked, got up late the next day- earliest was about 7.30am which was Pete 'cause he froze his 'nads off in his thin bag, had lunch, collected LOTS of wood, prepped and cooked a monster venison (fallow half haunch) and beef with 4 cans of beer stew, sat around the fire talking utter drivel, went to bed late, woke up about 7am to hear Rich83 chopping wood as he was woken up by the cold sleeping in his new MCSS AND a bivi bag, had brekkie and then did one by lunch.
So we achieved absolutely nothing but I had a great time. Cheers guys! :You_Rock_
A few photos later. Wet kit to hang up now and Jack got stitched up with the chute again. (But he's got the last laugh as he's not going to the Feb meet )

Hi chaps, safe home by 1.30, no problems on the roads. Thanks all for another great weekend and an epic stew and dumplings.
