View Full Version : Anyone about TODAY for a wander!!
Hi all,
Unfortunatly I never made the dartmoor meetup, however its looking like it will be a hot one today. Shall be off in a few hours to explore somewhere,...either somewhere on dartmoor or by the coast. If anyone in the plymouth/dartmoor area is about and wants to join me reply here within an hour or 2!
Booosh
Bugga! busy today, but I'm about Tues or Weds if anyone wants a woodland wander.
Neil
Hi Neil..I've just returned from a few hours at burrator resevoir. Was a beautiful day! Gunna catch some shade at homr for a bit and may even pop out to the coast for the evening. May well be about for a mid week wander...give me a shout if you go.
Booosh
not been to the woods today, I was at the food festival in cardiff mmmmmmm :)
Dartmoors a bit far :) . I have been up to my local (very large) wods though. What better excuse to laze around in the sun than to have to try out my new hammock :D
Wish I had caught this earlier, but if there is anything happening mid week I would be up for a little trundle :)
Hi Leon, If im not too busy i'd be up for meeting up. I have a few cool places I know of we could check out near to plymouth.
Boosh
Well lads it looks like Wednesday, and possibly a little area I know near Lustliegh.
I thuoght a bit of a wander and perhaps some bow-drill work - any takers? ;)
Neil
Mid-week is a superb time for us bushcrafters, because you can enjoy these places in virtual solitude.
Neil
Awwww grrr and dammit
I'd love to join you but work has not stepped in and spoilt my fun :(
I am also busy on thursday night so I guess maybe friday or the weekend on next weekend mid week maybe ?

Never mind mate, there will be plenty of other occasions, I don't drive otherwise I would say that I would pop down :)
Not to worry, we can shelve it until next week. With the extra notice maybe a few others will be able to join us :D
I'm stuffed for weekends for a while so mine will be midweek for a while, but this has its bonuses :cool: you don't have to share it with so many others (non bushcrafty types).
Neil
Indeed...will be cool to meetup next week, I should be able to get some time ten
:)
cheers folks

I was planning on a wander around the dartmoor area next week so if anything is being planned, I might either change my route to meet up or just tag along.
Greg

Neil
as long as my knee is strong enough that would suit me down to the ground :D

Wednesday would be fine by me too, I've got the whole week off so intend to stay overnight for one or two nights
Excellent! Now I shall try my best not to book myself in doing anything else work wise for wednesday. Unfortuatly cannot stay over night but will sure be up for a wander.
Booosh
I dont believe it! Well I today got informed of a freinds nan that has passed away and although im not totally sureI'm attending...I may be and it's on a wednsday :( So for those that believe in fate, i think it doesn't want me to meet you guys lol.
So, I know a few folks are intrested in meeting so dont change the day on my behalf if it turns outI cant make it. Although chances are I will be up on the moors another night that week instead.
shame its not monday, it would have been great to meet up with you guys again,
o well thats life
I'd meet you on dartmoor on monday evening if you want Lux?

Yup, Scotland is quite old ;)
I'd like to invite you to Mid Wales, but its a tad out of your way for this trip - if ever you are passing though, give me a nod.
I hope you enjoy your visit Jeff, Have a great time.

Hi Jeff, the meet we were discussingis only a few hours in the evening etc...of course you are most welcome to join us but dartmoor from heathrow has gotta be 4-5 hours drive. I'd suggest something closer or you will spend your time sat in a car or train etc. Somethign very old and a little closer would be stonehenge...notthat is a site of historical significance.
Booosh
Cambridge is quite a historical city in its own right have a look at this link (http://www.cambridge-city.net/history/) it may give you some ideas.
This link (http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/) may give you some ideas for Scotland. I must admit I like the Pass of Glencoe and the scenery is amazing, however you'll probably find so are the midges at this time of year :D

Not completely, I wandered up to a local wood and spent the night there, noticed someone has built a shelter there so maybe it is getting more popular! Other than a slow worm in my sleeping bag at 3am which scared the living daylights out of me, I saw 2 fallow deer, some badgers (been checking on them for some time now), and a load of rabbits. Didn't get a great nights sleep as I forgot the crows start making their racket just after midnight and I camped too close to their nests.
