sounds good, how many people on this forum would be interested? i know a couple of people that would love to come. Also do you have any ideas on a venue? there are a few good places i know in the peak, but they may be a bit far north for you. As for a walk and a chat, that sounds really good, let me know when you are free and ill try to get some time free (busy with work and family and stuff, but can always make time).
I think it would be good if members of the forum reply to this thread if they are interested in a midlands meet-up.

I'm certainly interested if somthing comes off, might be worth asking over in the bushcraft forum on British Blades as well, there are quite a few folks from round Derbyshire ish over there who would probably like the idea but don't come over here that often

Hi,
this thread seems to have "died the proverbial death"!
How many of us are there out in Derbyshire & the Peak District who may be interested in an informal meet-up?

Cheers,

Labrador

Hi Mr Bear,
all we need is a few more people, a venue & some of the amber nectar & we're in business!
Look forward to meeting you sometime in the future.

There's a meet in North Lincolnshire this weekend. It's only an hours ride up the motorway. Why not come along to that and don't forget the amber nectar :D

I'll be up for a meetup. How bout a stroll round the Goyt Valley? Lots of stealth camping potential. Will have to be at the w/e, as I go back to work next week (for the reasons, see 'Edged Tools - really bad injuries' thread...).

I'll be out around Crowden, on the Woodhead Pass, Friday afternoon thru to Saturday morning. There is a campsite there, but I won't be using it. No fires.

Anyone want to join me? John?

Are there any Scout campgrounds in the Peak District area we can get access to?
I suppose the question really is, are there any scout leaders reading this thread and fancy meeting up in the Peak Disctict? :)

The Spring North meet and the Lincolnshire meet were in these type of places and were great for bushcraft.

For those folks interested, I'm currently starting to make some arrangements for an Autumn meet. I'll post more details later on in the Summer.

This link was posted in another thread. Look for backwoods camping.

Oh, and the link works some of the time.

Hi though i am in the East anglia region i work for "Woodland survival crafts" which is on the derbyshire/liecestershire border (very close to melborne).

though i would not be able to join your group for logisical reasons the other instructors i work with may be interested:
Ian and Dave watson (check the website for a photo, mines not on it yet :( )

also as a bonus we use a woodland for the courses that you may be able to use but you'd have to speak to Dave.

Ian is known as lonescout on this forum.

Hi,

I am interested in a peak area meet.

There are scout campsites at Marple in the N Peak and it is reasonably large. Tansley nr Matlock and Spitewinter between Chesterfield and Matlock.

It may be worth speaking to Bill warden at North Lees campsite if he would allow something on his patch ;) ;)

All my land is virtually treeless, and exposed to the elements

Meaghaidh.

I could get to any of the places mentioned, I am not good at organazizing though :)
so I will keep my eye on here and If anyone sorts a meet out and I can make it on the day I will be there.
Had a meet up with PJMCbear last week at Crowden I had the kids with me so we had a bit of a walk and picked some bilberry's, not a major bush craft event but it was nice to meet up.

PJMCBear

12-07-2006, 10:24

Yep

Very nice to meet you and you lovely daughters.

Just to let you know, J, picked about 2lb of Bilberries yesterday. A bumper crop this year. Also found the wild strawberries again, but not many fruits.

Any idea why Snake Pass is closed?

Any meets planned in Derbyshire area??

fairly new to this site but have been bushcrafting for a few years, would be great to learn more from other like minded people.

PJMCBear

Not going out at the moment mate. I managed to break my big toe, so off my feet until the new year.

Just wondered if there were any regular bush-craft type meets in the derbyshire area? i have just got into bush-craft and would love to meet other people to learn more.
This forum is great but there is nothing like learning from a real person.

Cheers
Hello all - I'm in the same position as kiakanpa. I'm new to bushcraft too and it would be great to meet up with some of you folks and pick up a few tips.

I've got a four month old baby so it would also be a great excuse to get out of the house for some much needed peace and quiet!!!

Hi, Are u folks managaging to meet up at all. Im in the peaks most days as I work up there. Could do with getting out with likeminded folks plus I could do with a break from daddy duties!

Most of us meet up at the North West meets these days. There's one this weekend at Forest Camp, Delamere. If you can get out from the Daddy duties (I've a very understanding wife and children) you should get yourself along.

or do what I'm doing, bring them with you, I think I'm lucky in the fact that they like it too.

PJMCBear

I will do in the future. My boy is already showing a love of the outdoors. He's only 3, but wants to go camping with his Dad. My daughter is only 5 weeks, but when she's a little upset, taking her outside seems to be the quickest way to quieten her. Walking up and down the garden with her in a sling works every time. Even at 3 in the morning under a brolly. :)

Cheers, will try to get up there. Managing to get wife and daughter - nearly 2years old, camping ( with half the house in the car ) just need to get them in the woods. with less stuff.

Yep that's the hurdle I'm overcoming at the moment. We're going to the Delamere meet and to be honest we're probably going to take nearly everything we take car camping. Still - small steps :)
I'm in Bollington near Macc btw. 2 children - 14months and 5yo
