Who’s Going to the First Summer Moot at Rough Close?

[Wayne]

I can’t believe it’s only a couple of weeks away.

I’m already getting excited planning Workshops and meeting up old friends that I just don’t see often enough.

If you’re in doubt about taking the plunge the Bushmoot is one of the best Bushcraft gatherings in Europe and beyond.

So who is coming?

I’m in this year, really looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces and enjoying the ambience. Could you also put me down for the Bamboo Bow workshop you were planning if it’s available?

I will be doing a bamboo bow workshop and there will be a competition shooting them.

 

[John Fenna]

I am all packed and ready to rol - just the fresh food to buy.... sad but true!
A lot happening between then and now so I have got stuff ready to save time later

 

[HeatherS]

We'll be there again this year. Hoping to find a place on the woodland edge which can accommodate hammocks and tents since both my boys have decided to try out ground dwelling this year!

The site has lots of little areas and glades throughout the woodland which are large enough to accommodate groups that want to swing in hammocks as well as ground dwell

 

[Lithril]

I'll be there, looking forward to it.

Sadly it looks like I won't be able to make the Bushmoot this year

The current wife had a major operation at the end of June and unfortunately she's not recovered enough to be able to look after herself as well as three dogs, two of which are very active and boisterous :/

One of those things and I'm definitely gutted to be missing out on everything and seeing everyone plus it being the first year of the Moot being at its new home but obviously family comes first when things like this happen.

I’ll be there with Hermione, she’s bouncing up and down with excitement about going…

 

[Wayland]

I’ll be there.

 

[giancarlo]

I'm coming this year.
Last time I came was 15 years ago! (wow, I feel old now!)

Looking forward to seeing some old faces there

I would love to come however as a student the prices are a bit too much for me

 

[Wayland]

Van is packed now all but the food.

That is going to have to sit on the passenger seat, I’m not going lightweight this time…

I don't think I've ever seen you camp light.

 

[gra_farmer]

I am going with the family, it will be my first moot, looking forward to it

 

[Wayland]

I don't think I've ever seen you camp light.

I did light in the 80s / 90s and early 00s, although re-enactment started pointing me in a different direction.

These days I just prefer a bit more comfort and a lot more toys.

 

[Tony]

I'll be there!!
Nearly done with packing, thank goodness!make sure you all take a raincoat, looks like we've got some wet weather ahead!

Wellies as well. The ground at RC isn't exactly known for being free draining

 

[Tony]

Communal meal and band? I am new to this and have no idea what to expect?
