Calling the Cornish & Devon Contingent!
We had our first gathering in February, it went really well and was a pleasure meeting you new friends. Its about time we proposed a new date for our next gathering; so how's about the weekend of Sat-2nd - Sun-3rd of May the Monday following is May-day bank holiday. May will be warmer than February :) Again; you'll be paying the landowner to stay as an individual on-site, there will certainly not be any insurance or CRB checks required, nor any snakes-for-legs :twak:
Due to the space avaliable there may have to be a limit on the numbers coming. I hope this date is convenient for you and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

I will still be Namibia boo (and also yay!!) Will definitely come to the next one though :-)
I'll be there Ash. You have some good ideas at 3.00 in the morning. :D
Martin
Can't make those dates I'm afraid bud, I'll be undermining the efforts of the free Celtic peoples by hitting them with an enormous axe :D
Could do later in the month though.
Nightwalker

Rhoda, Justin & Paul that cant make that date :sad6: so another date perhaps, ...
Another date would be good.
Don't forget the Footsteps of Discovery, Survival Charity Challenge on 22nd to 24th May, £30 per person for a team of four, check out their website for details. It would be good to see a couple of BCUK teams taking part in that.
My company have 2 teams booked on that so I couldn't make it on that weekend.
Martin
I'm not coming unless you change it to Devon and Cornwall Contingent! :slap:
Note also that Dave Budd seems to have one at his place around the 9th.

Ah right, could be a busy month, I'll have to note these dates, we'll see if its worth fitting one in.
Could be interested Ash. What is the cost mate? and whats on site?
Smarty, it's at Chris Jones' place. You know it well already. Be great to see you there. :)

What about Sat-16th - Sun-17th May then? It is a fairly busy month we could leave it to another month?

Scott cant make that date either and he's my sherpa. :(
Scott cant make that date either and he's my sherpa. :(
In which case, for me, it would have to be either 9th and 10th May or into early June.
The good thing about June is that we will get maximum daylight to do all the stuff we want to. :)
Martin
EDIT:
Or both!!!! :red: :red: :red:
Apart from the May bank holiday, I'm good for weekends then until my next busy one on the 20th of June, so all other dates work for me.
Do the http://www.doodle.com/ thing.
June would be better for me, may is turning out to be one of the months with snakes for legs! If ya know what I mean!!:yikes:
Nightwalker
16-04-2009, 15:13
Do the http://www.doodle.com/ thing.Im on it :sulkoff:
Yeah, May is looking to be a busy one! Paul, dont start him off! :yelrotflm
I intend to get out at least once or twice a month, so I guess we could do both. It's almost impossible to please all of the people all of the time. In my experience, doodle it and get the best fit or choose a date and people either come or don't. Sad, but you'd need snakes for legs to get every meet to fit everyone.
On a related note however, I'd be gutted if it ended up being the weekend of the 23rd :)
Nightwalker
16-04-2009, 16:14
Right, thanks to Steve we've got a mini-calendar which will let us collaborate and see who's avaliable on which dates, you can...
Vote for a date here.. (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/events#Next-NaturalBushcraft-Clan-Meet)
Happy now Steve? :22:
I'm so there, assuming I can be of course! :) Tis a bugger about the wkend of the 25th for me, as I'm already about quadruple booked that weekend...it doesn't seem possible :( However, all the other dates are pencilled in just incase, so I don't double book myself again! Can't blimmin' wait.
It seems to me that there is enough interest to do one at the end of April and one at the end of May

It seems to me that there is enough interest to do one at the end of April and one at the end of May:Thinkingo How about a BBQ instead of a second one? I know for about a week or so Mrs Nightwalker has been talking about a Bushcraft-BBQ for the clan, obviously with things like bunny-burgers & wild-food salads! Not sure if its at our place or Woodland Valley yet, but they'll no doubt be free food & drink to be had!
I think combining a BBQ with a night in WV or some other place would be excellent.
We could use our house for a BBQ if anyone is interested. We have a decent size garden and a couple of spare bedrooms at the moment for little ones to sleep in. Could easily get something rigged up in the garden for the 'grown-ups'.
Just a thought if Woodland Valley proved impractical for just an evening. We're only just over a mile from Woodland Valley as well.

You mean sleep in ... a bed?! What's that all about then? ;)

Sounds like I might be able to make it after all, what are the costs?
Looks like I might be able to make this one, count me in until Angie pokes me and reminds me we are running a course or something!!! Hopefully nothing clashes...
Kurt and Kai will come too :D
What's the format for this one? A big, communal cook out? I fancy bringing a big fish!
Nightwalker
11-05-2009, 17:42
Sounds like I might be able to make it after all, what are the costs?It cost's £5 per person per night, or £2.50 per day for day-visitors. Your payments are made as individuals to the land-owner (Chris Jones at Woodland Valley) I hold no responsibility for gathering cash nor will I be offering and insurance! :argue:
I will update NaturalBushcraft soon with more info and you can also see who else is attending here: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/events
that sounds like a great idea steve, needs to be well planned tho, like having large enough cooking pots etc! :dunno:
saying that tho i'm up for a communal feed:D
Scott has got a large cooking pot, can't remember quite how big but I'm sure he'll let us know.
Happy to bring something tasty to add to the pot. :)
Martin
Nightwalker
12-05-2009, 19:00
Yeah me & Scott have got a bit cooking pot, Army one think its about 15-16 litres, something like that, has a bloody tight lid like a pressure cooker!
Although I like the thought of a communal cook up, I don't like the thought of feeling responsible if it all goes tits-up :tapedshut I just don't wana be the person who ppl turn to when a communal cook-up dosen't go right and people are hungry :rant: I know you lot, you'll have me sizzling over that fire in no time! :p
Any suggestions for what to have then for a communal cook-up? Any ideas?
I'll cook!! Got to be some sort of stew I would have thought. Don't worry about it Ash, we'll see what turns up on the day and then come up with some culinary delight.
:) :) :)
How about a Hangi?
Just a thought, i've got some bread baskets and plenty of hessien sacks etc, all you have to do then is a whip round for the meat and veggies!
Do you think the landowner would mind us going Maori ?
Glen
Nightwalker

How about a Hangi?...Do you think the landowner would mind us going Maori ?
GlenI know the landowner wouldn't have a problem with it, infact he'd probably want us to do it! I'll have to take more photos this time.
As for the Meat, Chris (the landowner) is a local producer of organic meat from the very valley we will be staying in. It might be a bright idea if we get some meat from him, partly as a kind gesture for letting us stay on his land and also it makes sense buying the meat on-location not having to worry about keeping and transporting it.
I've sent him a message asking if he'll have meat avaliable when we're staying as I know there's definitely a couple of us who will be getting some.
Tell you what Ash, you've sorted the site, so let us organise the food.
In my experience of these things, decide if you're in or out of the communal meal. If everyone who's in allows a fiver for the meal and everyone shops for something specific then we work it all out afterwards. So, it might be that someone only spend 3 quid on bread, but nobody else has to bring bread and then they give the extra money to the person who spent more on meat.
So, let's decide who's in, what we're eating and who's bringing what.
Myself and Joy are deffo in and due to fish man owing me a favour, Joy and I will bring plenty of fish. It looks like we're going for a meat thing too, so let's see what's what there.
So, to ensure that we get things right, l'll start a list up.
Steve & Joy - plenty of Fish
Let's also not forget that we need to provide three meals. i.e. Lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. Could be interesting. :)
Martin
I suggest we fend for ourselves for lunch and breakfast :)
I agree, one communal meal is interesting enough to organise, let alone three! Lets stick to the main meal and sort everything else out seperately.
Nightwalker
14-05-2009, 20:02
Tell you what Ash, you've sorted the site, so let us organise the food.Sounds great! I could do without the hassle of organising the food & I dont want the stress if it goes wrong! lol, I'll sit back with a Cider & sample any food that might come my way ;)
Not that im getting involved in the communal cook-up, :p but does anyone have any Hangi experience? I know Andy did a hansome bit of deer at the RV.
I dont mind doing the Hangi. I will need a couple more cornish shovels to help out and about 10-20 igneous rocks, (that's granite to us cornish boys!;) Are there any on site ? you can use steel but it can burn the food so i always use rocks. Then there's the matter of the wood for the fire.We will need quite a bit of DRY wood so that means Bow saws, Axes, and if you want to cheat i'll bring my chainsaw.
Depending on numbers i use a metal bread basket with the meat wrapped in muslin placed on the bottom (Pork,Chicken, lamb). Beef tends to dry out too much which can be dissapointing and expensive, then all your veg on top ( Root veg, pumkin, cabbage) all these work well as long as you dont chop them too small. Again you can use muslin,a pillow case or tin foil so no drama there. After that i use a bed sheet soaked in water then hessien sacks soaked in water. Next step is to cover it with earth making sure no steam can escape. Time wise its usually 2 hrs for the fire and 3-4 hrs underground but you can say that preparation will take a good half a day.
Someone mentioned Fish earlier which is not a problem but if your cooking meat at the same time your timings wont work.That said i know a great way of cooking fish with lots of wet newspaper in the fire, it only takes about 20 mins aswell. The only problem i can see will be the weather and firewood so i think its best to have another plan just in case.
Glen
The hangi sounds a great idea. I intend to bring a bag of coal (anthracite I believe) we have in the garage. Can't see any reason why this shouldn't work and it will reduce the amount of wood needed to chop.
Martin
Nightwalker
14-05-2009, 21:43
Glen, I think your probably thinking of a lot larger Hangi than Steve & Martin are.
Obviously the amount of people wanting to have to Hangi will dictate its size, personally im starting to think that a Hangi isnt that good a idea for a communal meal during an event like less than 48hrs, as done for the whole group, properly, as you say its a lot of work and preperation. I think it could sap up too much time, stopping people from trying other activities & exploring/learning. I've not done a hangi myself, but I've been to a few. I don't know if you've all seen how much work a large Hangi can be, but I can say I've seen a number of people working very hard with a lot of sweat & bother at the BCUK bushmootx to do a Hangi!
Its completely up to you guys, but I will be trying to chill, share skills & socialise a little more on this one I dont fancy a lot of hard work :p
No worries, it is hard work so maybe we can do again when we have more time. To be honest a big pot of Chilli con carne and some jacket spuds takes a lot of beating in my book.
Leaves plenty of time to have a yap and sink a few cold ones.
Glen
I think a small scale Hangi sounds like a good experiment and I'd be interested to take part. Not that keen on hard work, as Ash says. Moderately easy work is more my style. Wouldn't mind bringing some pork ribs along which should look after themselves. Also some veggies.
Not too sure about the chainsaw theory though. :)

Three black beer kegs around a large fire, packed full of chilli con carne, so much it was stired with paddles! lol, few hundred bread rolls and we was geared to serve the masses:

Hey Glen, was chatting to Sidd at St Columb when I was coaching Cornish Wrestling on Friday, he mentioned he knew you! You checked out my site yet bud? I think Sidd & his boy Sam might be tempted to come down to the meet aswell :) So where abouts you from Glen? Im in Newquay, my father Gerry Cawley & brothers come from Mawgan, you know any of them?
http://www.civilliberty.org.uk/images/cornwall_flag.jpg
Hi Ashley,
Sid and I have been friends since we met a Bodmin school, I expect you know about the Cornish wrestling connection in his family, its a big tradition and also fantastic that your teaching young Sam.
Your family don't ring no bells but I'm rubbish with names, good with faces though so you never know. Sid and sam usually come shooting with my son and I , we camp overnight as much as we can , so it would be great to get them to the meet.
I have checked out your website, very immpresive, you obviously have a deep passion for Bushcraft and Cornwall for that matter, both of which i understand completely.I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the meet, I missed the chance to do that at Smartys RV, i think your gang was pitched over from us but we left early sunday morning.
Keep us posted on any developments regarding the weekend and I'll see you all soon.
Glen
hey clan,
unfortunatly due to circumstances beyond my control i will be unable to attend our get together this time around! :(
i hope you all have a blast, i am gutted as i was really looking forward to it, still there will be other times i'm sure.

Sorry to hear you cant make it Paul, will see you at the next ;)
A request: Does anyone have a large waterproof Tarp they could bring as a communal cover? Say like 3m wide by 5m, or 4m squared or something?
We do already have an old big-blue-tarp down at Woodland Valley, but as we've found out when it comes down to it, it isn't really waterproof!.. Its so old I think the material has become to porous.
The idea was.. to have two communal covers fairly near to each other, one large one being my parachute (definitely not waterproof) and then a second one nearby that would be waterproof that we could all bail to if it started to come down hard! I thought having two communal areas near to each other would offer more cooking space for people also.

There's a big chance that i will have to work this weekend:( we have had a breakdown which has held up a very important job which has to be finished. If i'm really lucky i might be able to get away late saturday to join you all for the evening, but thats being optimistic to say the least. If i dont make it , have a good one and i'll see you all at the next meet.

The weather forecast is looking superb for the weekend! I've got a localised forecast saying nothing but sun for the next four days.
I think me & Scott will be cooking some Bannock whilst we're down in the woods, if you fancy joining in feel free to bring some ingredients; its basic & you can throw whatever you fancy into the mix, here's what you'll need: www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/cooking-bannock (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/cooking-bannock)

Thanks Ash, Kai has admitted that Justin is indeed the real Darth Vader now!
Hi all. I was thinking of organising a little gathering at Woodland Valley next weekend. Mrs Sainty suggested that it would be nice if I went out next weekend!!! I guess she's planning an expedition to Truro to get some essentials for the summer holidays so wants me out of the way.
Anyway, if anyone's interested, stick your names down and I'll get in touch with Chris and try to sort something out.

I have lifeboat practice on Sunday morning so Friday evening and Saturday day is all I can manage.

I'm on my hols in St Ives then Steve. Got to try out my new sleeping bag and bivi bag sometime soon though. Sadly, it doesn't look like I'll be clear till early September :(
If it will wait till then, I'd love to join you. I'm also trying to sort out some sort of trip up to Dartmoor for around that time if you are interested??

Nothing certain at the moment Paul but Neil, who is a regular visitor to Nightwalker's site, lives up that way and would be up for a stroll on the moor with an overnighter as would Quarryman. Nothing too strenuous in mind, maybe a 8-10 mile walk to a suitable overnight spot and then walk back the next day. Could be a nice trip for half a dozen or so.
As things develop, I'll post more details here. In fact, why don't I start with putting some names down here and we'll what develops.

OK guys and gals. This trip to Dartmoor in September seems to be taking shape. The initial plan is to meet on Friday night, spend Saturday out on the moors doing some navigation and general stuff one does on the moors, then back to camp on the Saturday night. Location is yet to be confirmed but should be OK for hammocks although fires are a non starter.
Look out for a 'Doodle' on Nightwalker's site, www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk to show what dates you are available. Neil, who lives up that way, will come up with a suitable spot to pitch camp and with a route for the Saturday.
If you're up for this, stick your name on the list.
Martin :)

Yep the Doodle and any further details will be hosted here: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/events#dartmoor-trip
Looking like 18th, 19th and 20th September are favourites at the moment. Should be a good weekend. Anyone else interested should put your name on the 'Doodle'.

Great news about Uni, sorry you can't join us.
The date is now going to be the following weekend, that is the 25th, 26th and 27th but I guess that won't make any difference.
