There are no toilet facilities, If you wish to go “natural” can you please ensure that it is buried so as not to cause any health hazards, please burn used toilet paper or if you fancy treating yourself you could walk to the super sausage, have a "quality dump" followed by a full english and a fresh mug of tea.

Dogs are welcome until the owner says different.

·Dogs to be kept by owners side or, on leads at all times when in the woods.

I've been thinking about bringing the tipi to a meet but dont know if it might attract outside attention if I brought it to SS...I've had a look on googlemaps and was wondering if I put down for the meet, might there be a suitable place to put it? Its best not under trees as the fabric is (badly) reinforced plastic and I need to erect it fairly close to its drop off point as theres 12 14' poles and a calor bottle fire which I can't hump too far ;) We'd probably be arriving sat am as its the devil to get right erecting in the dark.

Might be better at North Woods, d'ya think?

[Iona]

Hi Turbogirl!

Good name... There are some more 'open' spaces in the woods (you might have to fist fight Martin for his spot :O ) And I'd be more than willing to give you a hand with poles etc, if only to up the female contingent! If you could give us an idea of dimensions that would be great, and I'd say, if you come I'd bring some back up accomodation and see what you reckon...

I'll be set up early and defending my pitch. :)

[TurboGirl]

Ohhh, thats brill! I'm going to be weather dependant with the tipi and prob bring the hammocks just in case. I can set up independantly (with muffled cursing!!) but tis very welcoming of you all to offer assistance!

Really looking forward to it... having been at Rough Close and North Woods, I think the idea of being next to a truck cafe is definately the way forward ;)

Looking much more likely now to be saturday am (might be giving young spud a lift down too) and a leisurely set up in daylight.... you may all laugh as the tipi flops down around me, soooo much funnier than just watching someone fall outta their hammock ;)

Really looking forward to it! I love seeing new woods and freindly faces :) And it looks like this 'un will feel a bit rawer, I'm fed up of being too hot at nite ;)

Ah ha, so the King of the Dutchies will sit upon his wooden throne, accepting the taxes from your serfs... marvellous :) We'll take lots of pix for you, Martin :)

Not bringing the tipi now, tis just too hard for an overnite for an old bird who doesn't know the potential roosting spots!

[Karl82]

Yet Another great meet Thanks Alex, and everyone that made it down.
