Hi Guys, again I would like to add my thanks, Big thanks to Phil for organising it, it was my first meet and you personally made me feel very welcome and I enjoyed the chat late into the night about your fake grass round the cam fire lol!!
Im also very jelus of the new shelter you have got mate!!!
I made my first ever fire using tinder I found on site, very cool, Thanks to Damien for the lesson on using a traditional flint and steel and for letting me borrow his to have a go, again very cool!!
Learnt a couple of knots thanks to Teepee for my army tarp and had my very first swing in the woods lol
Failed miserablly at making a spoon and took waaaaaay to much kit but thats all part of the fun!!!!
Only silly thing I managed to do was pitch my camp up right in the middle of the walkway which Steve (mesquite) pointed out on various occasions lol, Im sorry about that peeps, it made life a bit of a nightmare getting past us!! Note to self, look properly next time before making camp in the way of, er, everyone lol!!!
I met lots of wonderful people, Im sorry but the amount of people there remembering all the names would be near on impossible lol!!!
Im really gutted I didnt get to spend alot of time around the communial fire, I am really disappointed in that, but I was just too busy doing absolutely nothing but relaxing!! terrible lol
Special thanks to Teepee for his driving skills and great company over the whole weekend!!!!
It was simply great, I really didnt want to leave and Im very much looking forward to the next one!!
The biggest thing I learnt over the weekend, after all the AWESOME kit I got to look at over the weekend, the same saying was said by all regarding kit, and that is that buying kit is a very personnel thing, its not what you buy or how much it costs, what really matters is that it simply works for you!!!
That sort of advice is PRICELESS!!!
All in all a brilliant time was had!!
Again thanks to everyone who made a brilliant weekend, see you on another meet!!!
All the best
Steve
P.S. someone who was camping close to us can snoor for England!!! Lmao!!
