Hi i'd like to come to get some experience but it will be my first bushcraft meetup, previously ive only ever done weekends with friends and done basic stuff.
Are there any rules and reccomendations (i.e no knives, open fires etc),
Chambers
04-02-2011, 21:58
Its the knives and open fires that make it fun.
Nah its pretty much just the usual sensibilites, get yourself along mate you will learn a boat load and its always nice to meet others with the same interests

That's what im on about though, i don't know what the 'usual' sensibilities are. Some threads on this site seem to be very concerned about damaging the environment so using no wood or small amounts of dead wood. Whilst the other 'extreme' is seeing elaborate shelters built with tonnes of wood.
To give u an idea ill list a couple of questions
What options do we have for sleeping, ie tents, hammocks, building shelters with wood, tarp etc
Do we have open fires? if so are there multiple small ones or a single larger one
lannyman also says he will be having the kids with him which leads me to wonder if he is uncomfartable with everyone using knives and axes (or prehaps leaving them out in the open where the kids can get hold of them)
What would probly be best is if someone whom has been on one of these meetups before to list their kit they will bring, which will probly answer most of my questions
Thanks in advance :)

Generally you keep your kit together so sharps that you are using will be one you, others will be in or with your gear but knowing Chris, his kids will be sensible and obviously know about safety etc.
The fire last time was a communal one and then a few were set up a bit closer to shelters.
Last time 2 of us were in hammock and tarp and the other 2 were in poncho/basha shelters, both are suitable but a tent isnt so much. If you dont have sleeping kit just let us know and Im sure between us we could come up with some to lend you for the meet.
As for the wood its dead wood only up here, no cutting down of any tree but there is plenty of standing wood. Natural shelters really would impact the surroundings at this time of year I think just with nothing being in full growth yet.
If you wanted to meet up for a quick wander somewhere either up your way or down here and just go over what few basics I know just let me know. Nothing to worry about at these meets as everyone is really friendly and welcoming
Any other queries just ask matey

Ive got all the kit i need (i think) but thanks for the offer :)
normally i build a-frame shelters so i dont use tents or bashas, ive got plenty tarp i can use though
yep ,..same here,...
as for kit,...
warm clothes
something to sleep in/under
something to eat (Chambers set up a dutch oven last time and it went down well if we plan same bring summat for the pot)
something to drink (we carried 3-4 litres water each last time and theres a brook for washing pots)
something to drink (hahahah, i think its my turn for the booze)
a bag to put it all in
we woke up to snow last time but i reckon (probably shouldnt reckon) by march we shouldnt be looking at minus figures.
maybe PM Merrygold (at the top of this thread), he put together a kit last time from not much, and not only managed but made us proud,..
As said tho,...its just a relaxing place and crowd,. you would be more than welcome.
Chambers

I'll happily bring the pot again so we can get cooking a communal dish again
something to drink (hahahah, i think its my turn for the booze)
Ill also bring some booze but I wont be homebrewing yet. Some more of that strawberry vodka wouldnt go a miss again tho if you got some Chris

i think the water problem is to do with the fact there is an old dump near to the site, this will mean heavy metles and possibly toxins leaching into the water source from that site....
the farm house has a tap which it 10 mins walk and there is also a toilet there..... there are a few rules which i will copy and paste now for all to see..... the site has been booked provisionaly for 10 people by my self...... there are rare breed pork sausages and chops for sale (frozen) from the farm house which is where the toilet and water tap are (10 mins walk)
Information for prospective campers at Brockwell Woods:
If there is space on the date you require, it is helpful to know what time you would arrive. If we are not going to be in, I usually leave maps, spades, saws, rubbish bags, water bottles as required for you to borrow and return outside the front door. I leave an envelope with your map to post your fees through the letterbox.
It is a proper 26 acre wild wood, no toilets or shower blocks - you can get water from the house and there's a WC there too. There are lots of little clearings and places where you can camp throughout the wood so you can just pick your place - the map will help you to find them. If you have a car, you can drive across the fields into the wood and park near to where you will camp, or if you would prefer, park at the house and walk across the fields. It is 10-15 minutes walk across to the wood.
We expect people to leave the wood as they find it - take nothing, leave nothing. You need to bury human waste, burn paper, ESPECIALLY TOILET PAPER, and collect up and bag all rubbish. You can leave this at the house if necessary.
We expect people to behave with consideration for others who are camping, local nearby residents and the environment of the wood.
Please note that we require groups to sign a signing in sheet with names, addresses, phone numbers, car registration where appropriate agreeing to this statement:
“We expect that campers will take responsibility for damage to property and the environment. Signing your name on this list implies that you agree to behave reasonably, with consideration for other campers, local residents, property and the natural environment. We will take appropriate action with the police and through the courts if this is not the case.”
We charge £8 per person per night, £4 per child, under 5s free.
You are welcome to light fires responsibly, clearing up after them. There is plenty of dry wood - fallen and felled trees which can be cut up for firewood. You do not need to fell live trees.
Dogs are fine too if kept under reasonable control.
Please let me have a mobile phone number, address and car registration.
Steph
Here are the instructions to get here by car:
From the Western Bypass (A1 to Hexham) follow signs to A695 Blaydon, or from Scotswood Rd, go across Scotswood Bridge following signs to the A695 to Blaydon and then Prudhoe. At Blaydon roundabout you'll see a MacDonalds. (Don't stop there!) Take the Prudhoe road A695 out of Blaydon, 1st mini roundabout turn left, (not signed). Follow road round until you see a left turn – Herd House Lane, signed to Blaydon Burn.This is the second left off that road. Turn left and follow road to the end then turn left onto Liddels Fell Road. Follow the road down into the dip, There’s a sign Blaydon Burn & 30mph sign. You see a white house, a stone house, Longridge Road, a pylon, then as the road curves sharply to left and up the hill, you’ll see a gap in the stone wall on the right marked Blaydon Burn House. Turn right, bump up the track and you’re there. Look for the conservatory on the left behind the very large holly.
If you miss that turn, take the next one right off Burn Road into Beech House, it’s the other half of Blaydon Burn House and the drive curves round in front of the two houses. It’s also a bit less bumpy.
You can get a 49 bus from Gateshead to Black Lane or a 32 bus from Newcastle Central Station to Winlaton and walk down Burn Road to the Beech House entrance.
The address is
Blaydon Burn House and Farm
Burn Road,
Blaydon on Tyne
NE21 6JR

Sounds awesome, im definatly in.
If you need any details from me b4 hand just PM me :)
I 'might' be able to borrow a manakin from work if anyone wants to practice cpr, would be a good oppertunity to refresh and show basics to those who dont know it.
Let me know if this sounds interesting
lannyman8
04-02-2011, 23:35
all the info you need should be in the above, as for blades and sharps the kids are age 15 so if they get cut "TOUGH" they should be more careful.....lol.....
no searious, they wont touch your kit at all, or anything else unless i say they can.......
referance your shelter a tarp is fine, the a frame is probably a no no, the wood we can use is dead, it needs to be kept for fire fuel really. any green wood is to be left as is ie no cutting at all, maybe in the summer, you would have to speek to Ike the owner.
if your tarp has no holes to tie cordage to you can just use the stone metheod to secure the cordage, then tie that to the trees/bushes
all booz is welcome, Rich dont forget your coke this time though, SAFETY FIRST mate, the last thing we want is for you to not be able to drink...lol:)
dont know about the vodka Rich, will bring some wine though, maybe some ginger beer if i get round to it...lol:)
i think we may end up in the Birch area this time, if there is more people, that way we can cut the large felled wood for fire fuel, also quite open for teaching and a beverage later on, oh and forgeing if we get round to it, (we could borrow some bricks from that old building for the forge).....
hope this helps....

Nearest I've got to that is fishing with pineapple boilies - but I have hooked a duck before, which is far better eating than most british freshwater fish.... suffice to say - it wasn't a very happy duck.

yeah mate we'll end up with 3 pages of banter,..but you know what,..
i think its a good thing, its a nice reflection of how we get on up there,.creates a good vibe for people to relax and join in..
the event will be arranged here despite it, hahaha
now managing to keep Rich on the INSIDE of his hammock this time is another skill to master...ha

i'm in definately in, very sure of that. would anyone object to me bringing my terriers? they usually amuse themselves and may bag a rabbit (or in the case of the pup, a pigeon! really)
also would anyone be up for a small lamb carcass re the game prep?
I am going to book these dates off as holiday and get meself up... and if work won't let me have the time I'm bloody well coming up for a brew and a bit banter anyway!

does any one have experience of earth ovens?
or maybe a slow spit?
that sounds like a really good idea for supper,..
we had sausage supprise thanks to Rich last time,..
a bit of slow roasted lamb could be just the ticket,....
can anyone remember seeing any large stones we could use as an oven up there?....

what hammock did you get mate?
A DD camping hammock. Still haven't got it actually, will be picking it up tomorrow if all goes to plan. Stupid post office, I shake my fist in it's general direction! I reckoned that the frontline was twice as dear purely cause of the mossie net so just went with the camping one. I'm sure it's grand. Looking forward to trying it out anyway.
a mankini????
hey man ,..theres no dress code so whatever floats your boat
HAHAHAHA! Man, you had me disturbing the neighbours there.
Lamb sounds freaking sweet! I'm salivating onto the keyboard right now, haven't had brekkie yet.
I think the forge should be a definite, as I have to make up for last time. I was just bashing, didn't realise I was supposed to be working towards something, haha. Then the final killer blow :( "Poor Auld Wonky" I call him now. It has a certain ring to it I think.
Having the dogs around should be interesting. If I was on the ground I might be worried I'd wake up smelling of wee. But sure that wouldn't be too abnormal I guess, ha.
I was wondering what does one do with their gear when sleeping in a hammock. I figured that during the day you would just leave it in the hammock, but what about at night? Just leave it under?
With regards to bringing stuff I don't feel like i have much to add to proceedings, perhaps I should just bring some booze?
Looking forward to it,
Mark
hahahah Mark!! you write really well,..i like it doooood! hahaha
ok,..the "storing your gear question"
run another line under your ridgeline and hang your "bits and bobs" on it,,,the stuff you need to hand all the time,...( i'll bring you some Karibiners)
and then the main pack can go on a tripod under your tarp so you can reach the rest without getting out,...
i left my NI pack on a branch last time and although w/prrof i never closed the flap,...so it just filled up,...
Note to self (camp 1st, homebrew 2nd, camp 1st, homebrew 2nd!!!) hahah

Chris....unfortunately the beach trip is off... Andy is under the weather with a nasty kidney problem; I wouldn't wish his couple of bouts with this on anyone - especially him :(
Hopefully he'll be on the mend and we'll get another date for the beach-craft sometime soon. You guys are welcome to get up there; you'll love it.
I'm heading to the Lake District this weekend to pick up some gear I have stashed over there... I'll get some fell running in while I'm there.
cya
Dunno 'bout 'get a room' Stu...not very bushcraft... maybe we should get a tarp :yikes: :lmao:
lannyman8

09-02-2011, 18:57
you write really well,..i like it doooood! hahaha
Ha, that is probably the most bizarre compliment I have ever received.
Can you give me an example of the sort of "bits and bobs" that you would need often enough to hang up? Other than Rich's "hand sanitiser", what a sicko. Haha.
Mark, you need picking up mate?
That's a very attractive offer Rich, but I wouldn't want you to be going out of your way. Getting me would mean going too far and then turning back on yourself. However, If you are dying to get rid of some petrol, and maybe put a few miles on the clock, then sure:D Actually, pick me up from my place and I'll give a few squids or something. It would save me some time and effort. Yeah?
if we all get there its going to some group.......
Tis a mighty list indeed. I hope all can make it in the end. Think of all the feet there would be to pump the forge. Are the kids under tarps themselves or you gonna snuggle up together as a family, haha. Youngest on the outside of course:)
Does anybody reckon that I would need an underquilt in the middle of march? Bearing in mind that I will have my sleeping mat, and possibly a blanket between the layers. What kind of temperatures are we to expect?
lannyman8
09-02-2011, 19:47
i would think that you will still need somthing mate, its not going to be megga warm maybe at 10 deg c at night or less.....
you could rig up your blankets underneath your hammock maybe???????
lannyman8
09-02-2011, 20:39
i think the boys/lads will be in a tent having thought about it, i dont have enough kit for them to share for the tarp......
????????not sure, might buy a bit of kit for them, will have to ask them and see what they want to do.....
Chambers
09-02-2011, 21:07
Nah I dont mind at all just PM me your address closer to the time and I'll drop by and get you.
If my underquilt doesnt go I may use it as I dont think I will have made a new one by then but I was just thinking of using a full length thermarest type mat
Can you give me an example of the sort of "bits and bobs" that you would need often enough to hang up? Other than Rich's "hand sanitiser",
knife, cup, water bottle , head torch, phone, wind up radio, Mr Snuggles, (my teddy) signed picture of Barry Scott (the guy from the Cilit Bang adverts)
you'll deffo need some insulation,..it still got down to freezing last march during the night,...
but your the toughest duvet camping M F i ever met so proably just your bare hammock dude.,..
take plenty of paracord and we'll have a play with your set up,..and suspend the blankets underneath somehow,..it'll be fun,..WATCHING YOU FREEZE!!!!
hahaha
i got my dates booked off work early ,...
Am i too exited??....hahahahhaa

what you said....... :)
Chris mate i have got 2 spare tarps and 1 spare hammock (double layered so you can stick a thermarest in the middle) if you wanna borrow for the kids? Sure someone else will have another spare hammock you could borrow? I do have another but its just a rubbish net one so wouldnt recommend it.
lannyman8
10-02-2011, 19:04
will have to speek to them both, sam will probably want to tarp it and ben probley tent.......
we will have to see, but thank you and i will keep it in mind......

I have a real cheap tarp and am thinking I could fold it and tie it up under under the hammock with a sleeping bag in it. Surely that would work. Didn't Stu do something along those lines the last time?
I may be an M F but I certainly ain't tough. I thought I made that clear, haha.

would it be an idea to sort out who brings what?
it would possibly save on there being 10 shovels (i am a 2 motion a day man myself) needlessly.
i'm making a campfire tripod and trivet on friday so i could bring them?
feel free to add equipment, for example; shiatsu massage chairs or bowls of pot pouri.
Chambers
15-02-2011, 20:51
Ill have the casarrole pot again if people want to make one but will probs need another 2 pots for the amount of people to cook for. Also a case of bring a bit of sausages etc yourself may probs be best?
There should be a tripod still there which I made last time but by all means bring yours mate. More the better :-p
toilet digger
15-02-2011, 20:58
the tripod will be steel as will be the trivet, picking up the metal and hopefully shaping/welding on friday. should double as a spit as well.
so fingers crossed i should be able to pick up an orphan lamb for the meet. :campfire:

hiya mate,...i think the fact you see it as an "event" is why your looking for a start and finish time,...
we dont do a roll call,...(Raikey?..here sir!!,...) hahaha
short answer, there are no start and finish times,...
the 19th is a Saturday,...just turn up when suits you,..7am, so you can get a good day in ..or 4 pm so you can get setup before the sun drops,....
then Sunday the 20th get up, have breakfast, and pack up,...or strike camp after lunch and hang around until it gets late,...
its a generally relaxed vibe with no real agenda or concrete itinary,..
i hope this helped,...

Went browsing the charity shops earlier and got a 100% Scottish wool blanket for £2.99. It's a biggy too. Perfect for in my hammock I reckon. I also got a wind-up head torch for under a tenner at Argos. Seems to work pretty well. 1 min winding gives 1 led 90 mins or 3 leds 40 mins. That should save me holding my phone in my mouth while trying to spark a fire, haha. I think all I need now is some paracord and I'll be kitted out.

not to worry old chap, i think the list has gone a bit "Pete Tong"........

WELL LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!!!!!!! :)

Just taken delivery of an Alpkit Skyehigh 600 and Alpkit Base 120, so I'm well pleased. Unless something incredibly important comes up in the meantime i.e. my arms fall off or a close family member combusts for whatever reason, I'll be there. Is it just the £8 for the camp site or do we need to pay subs too?

What make is it? I have a Highlander which is 8' x 5' and weighs 450g, a DD Tarp which is 10' x 10' and weighs 650g and what I think is a British Army Basha which is about 8' x 5', but weighs a massive 1kg. If you want to try the Highlander or the Brit Basha out for size I can bring them along. I'm going to be using the DD. You may need some paracord though, or some steel rope if you want to try the Brit monster.

I know how you feel. Remember I ordered a cheapo tarp to the wrong house? Well I ordered another and it wasn't as expected. Will be using that as an under-hammock though. Ended up going for a DD tarp. It was just handy really. Really looking forward to first time in a hammock.
The weather is still a bit wintery up this way, especially at night. Lots of frost. So I'll have a sleeping bag and mat under me, a wool blanket and throw over me. Does anyone think that'll be enough? Or should I rock out the duvet again, ha.
Is the forge a definite?

toilet digger
05-03-2011, 08:50
its mostly decidous with a bit of pine.
its a mix of broad leaved and coniferous.
not fully mixed in but in panels of types in places,...
like a section of pine, then the same of birch and beech
quite a lot of hardwood scattered in to,...managed to scavenge a fair bit of fallen oak for cooking on last time,..
its on a west facing hill (only a slight hil) with a brook to the north
there are service cables overhead in parts and so some management is ongoing and even big clearings in parts,....
i also hear there is quite a bad storm of fun moving in too and its due on the 19th and 20th,....with bright spells and a smattering of bucshcraftiness

Hi all have just been preparing for the meet by making and modifying a few items..
Firstly i was in a builders merchants and picked up 20m of 65kg tension green rope, i learned from my previous exploits thats you need
some kind of device to wrap it around or knots will drive you crazy! so i came up with a spline of pine and wrapped in in my favourite material....black electrical tape.
i then realised my blade looked a bit tatty so i gave it a good sharpen freeand with my lanksy stones and re-covered the handle in duct tape then electrical tape with a new
lanyard for safety and to lock it in the sheath. On a bit of a roll by now i remembered a engraver in the garage so i got some fresh batteries in it and put my name on everything, turboflame, crux set, blade, my titanium watch even my needle nose pliers lol... while doing my name on the bushman knife i noticed how dull it looked and decided it needed a kiss of humour. I looked around the internet a while until i came across a image of an A10 thunderbolt jet.. I like the nose cone design so copied onto the nose of my blade.. a bit silly i know but i like it especially when ive got it used as a spear.. badass..
Just remember..."each to there own" before slagging me off boys!!!
Also pic of the tomahawk im bringing, its a cold steel frontier hawk
