Well SWMBO has just given me the ok to go to the Moot, but who else is going?
It's a long old trek for me and to be fair I don't know anyone. Also I don't have all the gear I need, so if
I go out today and invest in the gear I need am I gonna enjoy myself or feel out of place.

So who's going and how long for.
 
Johnnyboy,
don't go spending loads of money on things that you won't need - get the basics covered and the rest, you'll be able to make, swap or trade for once you get there - you'll get plenty of chances to try other peoples gear or discuss at length about the things you'll really need - all before parting with your cash!

The bits I need are
Tent. Thinking about a Vango Banshee
Cooking gear. New Billy and frying pan.

Other than that some food and water and should be able to cope.
 
hi johnnyboy i will be there for the duration to with the big labowski come and say hello i will have my tilley hat on with the bcuk badge on the side regards dave:lmao::welcome1:
 
Don't go spending on a tent yet. Just get a cheap builder's tarp from B&Q. I've got three cast iron frying pans, two of which I'll be selling. There'll be plenty of people who can help you out with stuff so you can see what works and what doesn't.

You will enjoy yourself, and NO you won't feel out of place. You'll love it - guaranteed!
 
Tengu thinks SHE has lots to sell?
Check out the goodies I have got for you lucky punters!
Including stuff I said I would never sell (times is ard Jim Lad!)
 
Here we go :D Keep it for the event guys and girls, no presales and hyping up the people to a frenzy and Tengu, no half cucumber or found in the bushes when you arrive beer kegs!!
 
Thanks guys for the advice.
Well got a couple of bits sorted so I'm just about ready to get my gear together.
Next thing is to sort some food out. But what the hell do I take.

Looking forward to meeting you all

I'll be there.

If it weren't for having to transport 18 very smelly wool blankets from the group buy I would have offered a lift. I suspect this is going to be a very long and lonely journey :)
