Not me in newburn mate... Although as there are only 8 rangers left I often help out down there.
Always looking for folk to help out with volunteer days and you only have to do as much as you able.
Its a good opportunity to spend the day outside. We often fire up the Kelly kettle at lunch time, and its a good way to get your hands on wild food and fire wood lol

Guys! Did anyone know that there is a shortage of DD 3x3 tarps. I need one urgently and all there is are those minging camo ones! Make you dizzy after 10 seconds! Can anyone offer any assistance here?
Is anyone out anytime soon then???
northumbrian
17-05-2011, 21:34
it depends how fast u want a tarp ,there are the cheapo ones for a fiver or u could try any army surplus store and buy a slightly smaller one ?
and im just waiting for a meet up too.
cheers andrew.

Does anyone know anything about Gosforth Woods? I cycled out there to check it out and it seems to be all fenced off. Looks beautiful though. I assumed it was public because of the name but am guessing it is owned by the house on the corner. Any tips on approaching people for permission?
northumbrian
28-05-2011, 15:52
is that the one with a lake in it and does sandy lane run down the outside of it ?

But the site is still open and alls well when i spoke to Steph yesterday...
lannyman8
08-06-2011, 20:20
