longstrider sorry mate,
unfortunately i have to work also, so i have to pick and choose best times too. no matter, i'm sure something we arrange will be good for you, also keep an eye on the "east anglia thread" incase there is something else available.
hey,
lord lurcher,
nice to hear from you again,
yup totally up for a new place to visit,
what area did you have in mind?
also i remember you saying you had Bushcrafty friend/s in Norwich, would they be interested in joining us?
Jay-jay
are you able to join us? don't worry about directions, we can go in convoy or something.
something for the group as a whole:
there are 2 new sites which i am trying to find out about for camp overs,
both in the area of lenwade(gt wichingham).
the first site is owned by a friend of a friend's dad(farmer), and is pristene mixed woodland 7acres-ish it hasn't even got a gate or path going into it! literally a machette job just to get in but i have camped there previously, it has coppiced hazel, a marsh area, a running stream, loads of bracken, standing deadwood, and a great open camp area, no toilet facilities at all but i'm sure you'll agree worth it!
i am seriously considering asking to rent the area too!
but i need to contact the owner and prehaps do a couple of solo camps to sweeten him before bringing others to the site.
the other site i am less interested in is a disused area near a friends work place, basically he knows of an area what he says is woodland(can't be sure), that has been used as a landrover off road course, haveing seen a few of these i know they have lots of patches of undergrowth and areas probably suitable for camping on.
i haven't seen this site but my friend says it would be great for a few people to camp on, i don't have any other details untill he gets back to me.
also whilst working for a local conservation group i know of several areas that we could stop of at for tea breaks without getting hasstled and that will provide
(season specific)hazel, birch, willow, reedmace, rosebay willowherb, and various wild foods.
send me a PM if you want to know more.
it's good to see the group is forming well,
when i have met some more of you (and each other)
we shall set a date for a weekend camp.
just a date for your diary's i will be at the
Norfolk show 28th-29th June(wednesday/thursday),
demonstrating bowdrill firelighting for
"woodland survival crafts" located in the woodland crafts area
come and say hello,
(i'll be the youngest least ugly one!!)
