I keep looking for a meet in Sussex but can not seem to find one. Is there anything going on regularly in the West Sussex/East Sussex area? I have been looking for a group of people to go out with on a regular bases but can not find anyone. If there is not one then would anyone be interested in doing a weekend soon? I have found a few bushcraft friendly camp site, that should be pretty empty at this time of year; I have a link at home to a web page that lists campsites where you can have fires & remember there was one not too far from Brighton that sounded good.

Thanks for the reply, which is pretty much what I figured. I am getting my car back on the road soon and feel like doing something in 3 or 4 weeks time. I will see if I can find the details of that bushcraft friendly farm campsite that is north & a bit east of Brighton from what I remember. I will see if they have any space (which should not be a problem this time of year) and are open then see if we can arrange for a bunch of us to meet up.

Ok so where is everybody in relation to me, im near Shoreham, can see a few people around Brighton & Hove from the profiles, sounds like we need to get something sorted out, either a good days bimble or if we can find somewhere a meet up for a few days.

Hi all.

I am happy to host a meet at the Forest Knights main site near Arundel.

Date will now be in June I am travelling to Japan to teach Bushcraft from the 13th May so will not be around to organise anything sooner.

In return for camping and burning my wood it would be nice if we can complete the odd project during the weekend.

If you would like to attend date depending please add your name to the list below:

I haven't really decided. Just got home from running the BCUK first aid course.

Some extra seating would be nice.

Also I would like to create a few new examples of debris shelters.

What would you like to achieve during the weekend?

So thus far:

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the offer - I'm up for helping out and learning along the way!
Let me know what sort of days you're looking at, I know that I'm busy the first 2 weeks of June (not that in anyway should stop you from having it then!).

I would be up for that. I think I saw what may have been the forest knights in action as I was coming back from a walk on Saturday; saw a parachute, hennesy hammocks etc.. looked too fanncy for a homeless camp. I would have popped in to say hello but I had to meet a mate at Avisford Park over the road to do some 'rabbit management'...

The tents and hammocks belonged to the BCUK crew on their first aid course.

If you're in the area this weekend pop in for a coffee. We are running a bow making course on site.

I forgot to add I am glad we didn't look like a homeless camp.

Sorry about the above reference, I hope I did not offend. It's one of those woods I walk around from time to time & about a year ago I saw that there was a few basic shelters covered in builders tarps. When I metioned it to a mate he thought that it was a group of homeless people living in the woods. When I saw it the other day I remembered that, hence the comment above. You have a good setup there by the looks of it. I am getting back into archery again & want to have a go a field archery, so was thinking of going to meet up with the ratpackers over the road some time soon. I should be around over the weekend, so will try to come over & say hello as it's not that far from me.
