Loch Tay meet up

[Robby]

The gods looked down, smiled, and said "ye shall have the weekend off" . Yay, count me in.

As long as nothing else falls off the car between now and then that is

 

[Robby]

I hoping to re-acquire a parachute; I reckon that'd make a good central gathering area under some sort of cover if needed.
cheers,
Toddy

I meant to add, I have a large dark green polyethylene tarp if its any use. By large I mean 8M by 6M or there abouts. Let me know if you need it.

 

[locum76]

it turns out that the the scotland - italy wolrd cup final is on the seveteenth of november! does anyone fancy a two hour trip to aberfeldy to watch it in the pub?

 

[Eric_Methven]

Yipee! EdS has offered to pick me up in Durham so I can make it after all. I'll be packing leathercraft stuff and some hand tools so I won't feel like a useless numptie. Can't wait!

Nice one Eric - do you want to pick up those fleeces then? i can take them to the Crannog and leave them with you if you have room in the vehicle for the return trip...

no problem.

 

[Eric_Methven]

no problem.

PM sent mate.

Incidentally, is anyone bringing a decent camera with them? I didn't see any photos from the last Loch Tay meet. Did anyone post any?

I also meant to ask, has it been decided yet if we are having a bulk midday meal? If someone volunteers to cook a bulk meal and we all chip in to the kitty, the rest of us will have more time to give demos and do workshops without having to break off to start preparing their own lunch.

Eric

 

[locum76]

i'll happily cook one of the midday meals.

 

[Graham_S]

I'll have my camera with me, it's ok

 

[JohnC]

Happy to help with cooking...not a great cook but can peel potatoes

Hi all,

Can anyone come to this as me and my mate would love to come, we can't bring much , but a willingness to learn.
We have our own kit ,but lack the knowledge that goes with it, don't get me wrong we're not daft wee laddies , just we've both really tinkered with the bushcraft thing , never really took it seriuosly until I became a dad anyway & now I find I want to learn these things, hehe wether it's to hide in the woods from my missus & kids or just so I can teach them to be more in tune with nature & I'm pretty sure my mate Chris feels the same about teaching his son.

So after my short ramble , is this meet open to anyone especially newbies lol.

Treeclipper, "newbies" are especially welcome.
Always room around the campfire for a new face.
Come along and be welcome.

i said i'd help cook but i dont have a huge amount of kit to bring, does anyone know what will be available?

 

[Toddy]

Daylight is short; d'you think we could manage lunch over at the Crannog site and make our communal dinner in the evenings when we can sit around the fire enjoying the company?

I have large pots, suitable for feeding the 5,000 if necessary. Bring the kelly kettles too though, hot water is always a good thing. If you're up for cooking Rob, I'll see you have equipment
Patrick's already said he'll bring some game, what would you suggest the vegetarian's bring along?

Robbie, yes please, bring the big tarp; if the weather's dry we ought not need it, but, it's Scotland, it's Autumn I've got 100 metres of bungee cord and a bundle of carabiners. Surely it's not beyond mortal wit for us to work out someway of providing space for folks to work, eat and chill out.

Russ, at this rate you'll be cuddling your rucksack in the front seat of my car, again

cheers,
Toddy
