Where abouts? There's quite a few members in Lancashire/Manchester

I'd be up for it, or a more general "North of Watford, South of the Borders" sort of meet.

We shouldn't let the Ashdown lot hog the limelight

Err, can we avoid Ashdown weekends if poss, though, 'cos I plan on getting at least a couple in.

Jim.

Let me think...


YES YES YES

I'm happy to give any help I can. I'm not sure of any sites in yorkshire but there is a big scout camp site in sherwood forest that we could use at a push

 

[martin]

You can definately count me in.

Hopefully I can get back in the summer, so I will keep an eye on this thread to see how it evolves. It would be great to finally meet you guys, I have mental images of what some of you look like, it will probably be totally wrong!!

Sherwood would be great, I think it is a pretty good location for oop north, and easily reachable by most. Hopefully it will become regular if it works out.

If I can get rid of SWMBO for the weekend I suppose we could use the estate where I live. We trees and easy going neighbroughs.

However, it'll have to wait a while as I got to get a new job etc sorted first.

 

[Scally]

i am just over the border so i would be up for it

any more thoughts on this one

I know it's not Yorkshire but there is a scout campsite in sherwood forest. It may be possible to set up a standard event there. We could make it every two-three months

How about Helsey Woods Scout Camp, near Barnsley?

Or Loxley Common?

It's illigal to camp on Loxey common. It also has a lot of dog walkers, on the plus side I could go home to use the loo.

I forgot about helsey woods though. It might be a good option I'm not sure how much space they have for bushcraft pitching. It's where I had the test for the outdoor pursuits course I did in St Johns.

I may phone them up
