Shame you can't make this one, Hugo, not the same without you. Think of us as we shiver in the wet!
I'll be there between 3-4 pm Friday, to set up my tarp in some daylight. Hope I don't steal someones usual pitch.Any one else arriving Friday.
I've scent marked my trees, so you'll know which ones to avoid. its looking wet, warm and windy this weekend. So really christmasy!
I'm aiming to be over 3-4 on friday, as much as it pains me to ask, but if someone could help me with my kit, it will keep the doctor off my back for over doing it.
I'll be your sherpa Jack. I'll be there about half twelve so will endeavour to have a fire lit and a wood pile gathered too. Hugo you will be missed mate.
I'm pretty much packed. Secret Santa gift is wrapped. Turkey is in the car (hopefully still defrosting!) - it's inside the barrel and wrapped in a towel so should be OK. Must remember to pack the rest of the food tomorrow morning! I'll aim to get there around 12:30...
This has ceased to be bushcraft, it's become glamcraft, or worse, shamcraft. I've never packed so much stuff into the landy for a couple of nights. Think it is all there, missing breakfast bacon at the mo and lunch Sunday.
I really hope I've got everything, now to fake looking like I'm working till the boss goes home and I'm out the door!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't look good does it. Think I' ll give this one a miss
C'mon, like I'd miss out on a weekend in the woods. See you chaps there asap, counting down the minutes

I will down in the morning, my neck is now healing after an operation. Let us know if there is anything else we need. I will bring a Dutch oven, Crimbo pudding & brandy butter. Plus sausegaes & some veg.
If there is anything else we need then let us know and I can swing by Tesco's on the way. Dave

There will be one, watch this space!
Kept mostly dry but mud everywhere. It's like Glastonbury but without women or music

Thanks everyone for a successful and delicious Christmas meet - turkey was wonderful & I'm sure the carbon potatoes will help with digestion. Good to get home & start drying things out, though - hope everyone else got home safely!
Thanks to all for allowing me to have a brilliant weekend with you. Great turkey dinner, great conversation and great fun. Thanks again chaps.

Another great meet with top class food. The Trash Can Turkey worked very well and we were spoilt for choice with veg, sausages, Pork, stuffing, gravy etc.. with Christmas Pudding flambéed in Brandy for desert; all done under a parachute in the woods. Good weekend all round. Was nice to welcome Colin to our group, who hopefully enjoyed himself & will be back again.
I will post some pics in a bit once I have the bits put away & have had some dinner.
