  • Merry Christmas Guest, we hope that you have a great day wherever you are, and we're looking forward to hearing of your adventures in the New Year!
Nope, can't make this one either. I couldn't be at Merthyr Mawr for the moot, and now where am I when WG is on, and just down the road from where I live? Yup. Merthyr Mawr... :)

Ah well. One of these days... :)
 
Don't bother with the day ticket, it's a full weekend job!
This will be my third, you meet so many people, be invited to so many camp fires and share the company of so many good people.

I'll be there again this year. Looking forward to meeting up with old mates and making some new ones :D
The guy I do volenteer work with on Crowle Moors (Ken) is coming with me. I'm taking my 7 man Kata and there's only 2 us of in it . So if anyone needs a place to crash give me a shout.
I've got myself booked on the tracking master class on the Sunday morning with Max from Shadow Hawk. I'm really looking forward to that.
 
I really wanted to come along - seems a good place to learn (and I have a lot to learn!). But then once again events have messed things up, as I have a party to go to (which doesn't sound like a very good excuse :), but it's one I can't really miss).
 
Hi,

I was thinking about coming along on a day pass for this event as i cant really afford the weekend cost at the moment.

Could someone who has been before explain a little about what goes on?

hope to see some of you there.

As posted before my wife and I are making the trip over from Dublin. Would have loved to have gone to one of the July meets but it was my mothers 50th (couldn't miss that now could I).

Look out for a Millets Hippy Hut(stop laughing my wife bought it honest) with an Irish flag that will be us.

See you all there.

If you want to know more about what goes on have a look at the website on this link http://www.wildernessgathering.co.uk/ . It's hugely informal, full of enthusiasts who, like you, want to chat about what enthuses them and there are skills workshops, trade stands and food sales as well. I went to the first one not knowing anybody, then to the second looking forward to seeing new friends again. People are really friendly..oh....and don't forget your liquour supply - it's a great way to chill for the weekend.
 
Hi Falcon, thanks for the reply, Sounds like good fun then. Yeah I had looked at the website, but have been to many events where the website can sometimes be over-hyped. Really looking forward to going and seeing lots of other people into bushcraft....I had no idea so many people were keen on it!!!!!

Thanks again.
 
I am off for the full weekend, went last year and it was very good sold a few knives, met many lile minded folk had drinks food singing and stories around various camp fires. Go the full 3 days else you will very fed up when you leave after 1 day the evenings are the best part.
 
basically you have a wood in which you camp and are allowed fires, you can sleep in a tent or under the stars or how you like, in the main area are trade stands and exhibitions plus food and a chance to sell your own kit and just wander and chat you can do a bit of Archery or throw axes. There are 3 areas for courses ie tracking wild foods etc. In the evening theres is much singing, drinking and story telling. Go if you can.
 
I really want to get to this one, missed the last one but oh I will probably end up missing it anyway that's what my life is like. I always miss everything!
