View Full Version : Yorkshire.
Anybody fancy a Yorkshire meet?
Where abouts? There's quite a few members in Lancashire/Manchester
Anybody fancy a Yorkshire meet?
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 :p
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
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.

Sounds interesting providing it is not in July to early September.

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

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?

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
campsite at sherwood is walesby campsite 250 acres of land will occupy us but no ground fire (peat under foot) all fires have to be on alters, also pete w is warden at a campsite north notts 8 acres wink wink
not sure of the legalities but dalby forest and surrounding areas are a great place. from moorland to forest to coastline (which is accsessable by car within 20mins). OS map OL27(north yorkshire moors eastern) :)
Take a look at the North Moot (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=8351) thread. :)

Cookie,
Look for the North Meet II thread in the Meetups area. Dont sweat that you don't know anyone. It can be a bit wierd turning up to one of these things where nobody knows anyone else. I went to my first recently, and despite ballsing up my arrangements and turning up late people are really friendly and eager to share some of their skills. At the north meet Eric M soldiered on through gales with a round the clock leatherwork workshop, Groovski smashed a lot of flint and explained some of the esoteric mystery of nodules and flakes,d roughed out a few descriptions of tools; and two really generous folk whose real names I forget now put together a smashing vege curry for everyone. There were spontaneous bowdrill sessions around the place as well (the, er 'changeable ' weather intervened a little during most of those!). What am I trying to say. um it's worth the effort: come along, you will learn something, and you'll meet some top folk.
