5th/6th is bonfire night

Good point that. I was thinking of going to Lewis this year as well.

I'll look out for you!

[Neil1]

A mate has offered to secure us some Venison for the communal meal on the Saturday. I can also provide three dutch ovens if needed.
What we all need now is a definate date?

[Kepis]

Fingers crossed for the 5th & 6th

 

[monkey boy]

im good for any dates, but your right we do need to set one, we should do a pole and the dates that have the highest votes is the one we set

That is basically what we normally do, with the organiser choosing the most popular one. A poll sounds good but then you only get one choice, whereas the way I did the last one was to take into account all the people who could do say 3 weekends.

We are only halfway through October so I was going to leave it another week or so before before deciding. There is always next weekends 'mini meet', as mentioned above, if you can't wait until next month. I will book the campsite, get a pitch number & put a small thread up tomorrow on that.

I was reading about venison cooking on the other thread:
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80285

Someone suggested Venison in a Dutch oven with a bottle of cheap white wine, assorted herbs etc.. which sounds like a goer. We can't do a Hangi as the site has a rule about not digging pits or holes.

Mini-meet is Booked in for this weekend at Broadstone, on pitch D13 which is just the other side of the track from the last meet & a bit further towards the rangers car park. Looks like me & graywolf at the moment, with maybe Kepis on the Sunday for a bit if he can make it.

 

[Kepis]

Aye, will try and get down for a few hours on Sunday, hope to see you there

 

[Neumo]

Mini meet thread is now up:

Will be nice to see you again. Looks like me & Graywolf at the moment for the Saturday afternoon/night + you on Sunday if you can make it. Might get a few more, as you never know... The forecast for the weekend looks good & I get to try out my new UK Hammocks Underblanket & quilt, so cant wait. Will be baking some bread, probably trying a chicken roast dinner in a dutch oven plus whatever else takes our fancy.

 

[Graywolf]

The loaf you made at the last meet looks outstounding.

It was .

Yes it turned out well for a first attempt. I will be having another go at a loaf this weekend. It is not to hard to do if you know how to make bread; I can show you how to do it in a dutch oven if youare interested. The tricky part was getting the yeast to start fermenting, which I have a few ideas on, so will try another method for that next time.

I also want to have a go at doing a roast chicken in the Dutch Oven on the Saturady night, so will be bringing along a small chicken to expereament with. Should be good, with roast potatoes & maybe some gravey if I get inspired.

 

[Graywolf]

sounds nice to me

 

[Neumo]

Will probably choose a date for this next week, now that we have people's interest and what dates they can do. As usual it will be a case with choosing the most popular date, i.e. the one that most people can do, which includes those of us who can do multiple dates. Not sure what to do about bonfire night, as the 5th/6th sounds a popular date, so.

 

[Neumo]

Double post. Not sure how that happened...

Hope you all have a good one!
