I doubt I am bringing the lad, he has a swimming thing but I intend on coming for the day.

Would like to practise fire lighting and would also like to cut some hazel or something to make a thumbstick if cutting some wood would be allowed?

I also want to look for animal tracks and signs. Will bring my camera to take pics aswell

Also want to try a different way of using my tarp

Looking forward to it

Hello,

I’d like to drop by to say hello and ask advice, if that’s okay? Ed sent a link to this thread in response to my first post.

Best wishes,
Darryl

[MrEd]

@Wayne
Is it confirmed for this weekend? I can only do Saturday but would like to come if it’s on

Clicking on 'about us' then 'location' does not seem to work. Where about are you? Nearest train station Amberley?

Cheers.

 

[MrEd]

The meet is definitely on. A good chance for folk to get out and enjoy the woods whilst the weather is kind and the thermostat isn’t too low. Temperatures expected to drop to around zero on Friday.

I will be arriving around 2pm to set up.

 

[Rabbit leg]

Thanks MrEd.

 

[MrEd]

@Wayne - apologies i cant bring an extra 3l of water for group use - my camlebak is leaking quite badly, so will only be able to bring 2.5l for personal consumption
Sorry

 

[Wayne]

It was a great weekend. I really enjoyed meeting some great people and sharing our site.



The group chilling out by the fire.



Ok who thought it was a good idea to let the shortest member of the group to put up the parachute.
The taller members will be pleased we raised the shelter a few feet.

I’ll start a new thread for the February meeting.

 

[MrEd]

Most enjoyable and relaxed place.

I look forward to the next one!
