who's close by?

[shaggystu]

hi all, not posted on here for a long long time, much longer than i realised to be honest.
just wondering if there's anyone around my neck of the woods who might like to come for a pint and compare shiney things! i'm not really into organised weekend meets because my life is a little bit unpredictable, but it'd be good to have someone to share the spur of the moment nights out that i have.

look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully sharing a drink, be it in the pub or round the fire.

I live near Scunthorpe, I'm fairly new to bushcraft (both the site and the lifestyle.)

Do you know of any bushcraft friendly areas?

Cheers, Alan.

 

[shaggystu]

well welcome to bushcraft mate, hope you enjoy it.
i don't really know the area where you are but if you ever fancy a trip over to chesterfield you'd be more than welcome to share the places i go. there's bound to be someone on here though who does live in your area, just ask around a bit, say hello in the introductions section.

Hi ShaggyStu,
I'm normally found in Shining cliff woods/Peat Pits at Alderwasley at the weekends (early in the morning) with my chocolate labrador (the one pictured in my Avatur).
PM me, I'm always up for a mardle & some Kelly Kettle tea when I'm there!

Davey569,

i'm merry hell side as well mate, between netherton and old hill, and cradley heath !

Grimstead,

at this rate we could start our own bushmoot on the wolves ringroad !! LOL

 

[FerlasDave]

thats brilliant! i live by the old speedway, do you know it? and i suppose you know saltwells? i tuck myself away there sometimes to practise some skills.

 

[Andy2112]

I know the old speedway and Saltwells real well mate, right by you then, just round the corner from Aldi by the old Saltwells school !

Used to go down the saltwells nature reserve before it was a nature reserve, and after it became one as a mate used to be a volunteer warden down there. Not been down there in years.

I usually go over Kinver and have a poke around to see if i can find any tinder etc.

I see you are going to the Midlands meet, I've not been before so it should be good, me and a mate from work are going, probably go after work on the Friday night, putting all my faith in the satnav to get us there. We are doing the air rifles and archery shooting, not done archery before so it's going to be a laugh.

Small world mate !!

 

[FerlasDave]

verry small...i live right opposite the entrance to the speedway estate. (currently with a skip on the drive.)
im going to have to see about the meet as i have no transport and no idea where it is/how to get there. but ill try my best non the less.

my nan and uncle live in kinver, my uncle works with BW and lives in the house on hyde lock? i was thinking about having a meet over there but would need to check it out with my uncle if he knows anyplace we could go.
