Who's about in Gloucestershire?

**ASH** · 23-05-2008, 13:48

I live in the cotswolds (Lucky me), anybody else roam round these parts?

**stonyman** · 24-05-2008, 11:26

Me!!, I do, I live in Gloucester not far from Robinswood Hill and Painswick Beacon

**ASH** · 26-05-2008, 21:47

Good to see I have a fellow BUK in the shire. It's a shame there aren't more of us to organise a regular regional meet.

**crazydave** · 27-05-2008, 20:28

me - abbeymead. sargey lives up in cheltenham bt probably wont catch this as they stopped reading the forums.

stoneyman - there's a luke s I chat to on trueways who lives in tuffley if you fancy a pint at the four mile one night

**luke_s** · 27-05-2008, 22:57

Hey Ash, I'm near Robinswood as crazydave has said. He pm'd me on trueways, so I thought I'd check it out.
A trip to the Four Mile House sounds like a good plan though.
As I've mentioned to Dave, my family own a smallish area of woodland just SW of Stroud which could really be utilised as a meeting place. Plus Dave knows a few other places nearby too.
By the way Dave, I checked out the topograph near Standish woods the other day. I've not seen anything like that before, so cheers for the heads-up.
Luke.
It would be good for us to meet up on a regular basis. None of my 'mates' have any interest in bush craft and survival, so I'm feelin like a bit of a loner! :-(

**jinx** · 27-05-2008, 23:14

Hi Ash,

I live in Cheltenham and am keen to meet up locally with people. Iv'e not done much out door stuff lately, in part due to not knowing people near by with similar interests.

I will pay more attention to this forum now In antisipation of a happening!

**ASH** · 28-05-2008, 11:49

Well this is more encouraging, perhaps a chat over a pint is in order?

If Jinx is up for it we could all travel to The Four Mile House as three of you seem to be close by to this.

Luke, a very kind offer of a meeting place/woodland.

It seems we are finding similar problems, its great to be able to chat/read about bushcraft on this forum but that only fuels the need to be out and about with like minded people.

I look forward to meeting all of you sometime soon.

**topknot** · 28-05-2008, 20:47

Hi,
I'm down the road in Bristol . My sons and i up for a weekend meet.
Cheers Topknot.

**crazydave** · 28-05-2008, 21:14

excellent a minimeet may be inorder july/august time if only for a chillout and practise session .

we're going to meet at the pub one night for a natter soon.

**crazyclimber** · 28-05-2008, 21:17

Mid Wales here though always in and out of Gloucester. Would be keen for any meets also!

**crazydave** · 28-05-2008, 21:19

**redandshane** · 28-05-2008, 22:08

**luke_s** · 28-05-2008, 22:37

Ok. What about this monday 2nd June, 7pm at the Four Mile House??
I'll be fresh back from my course.
Any takers?
Luke.

**jinx** · 28-05-2008, 22:44

Ah, b***er!

As a rule I can't do Mondays or Tuesdays As the wife normally works those nights and I have to look after the children (who alas, are too small to go drinking in the pub).

Very keen to meet any other night though.

**crazydave** · 31-05-2008, 20:48

strange that as luke has similar issues, maybe we can get rm to do a series called bushcreche

having my nasty holiday jabs on monday but I can try if you fancy a pint or two luke. forecast for early next week is well grotty.

redandshane - once we get to know eachother then maybe a midway meetup

**ASH** · 01-06-2008, 13:14

Up for a quick pint next week!

**jinx** · 01-06-2008, 21:33

Wednesdays, thursdays, and Sundays are normally ok for me. Fridays and Saturdays cost me brownie points with my nearest and dearest.

Jinx

**ASH** · 02-06-2008, 10:08

Luke / Crazydave are you still meeting up tonight?

Jinx we will have to meet up for a seperate pint unless everyone is about on the same day.

Any pub in cheltenham is fine by me, must have been in them all at one time or another.

Where is the Four Mile House?

**luke_s** · 02-06-2008, 17:49

**luke_s** · 02-06-2008, 20:57

What about a Sunday evening?

**ASH** · 03-06-2008, 10:26

Luke,

Sorry I missed your post and picked it up to late to join you.

Hope you met up with Dave. Will be up for a Sunday afternoon pint. I am away this weekend!

Oh what busy lives we lead, sadly not always doing the things we want to

**luke_s** · 06-06-2008, 21:13

What about a get togeather on Sunday 21st June?

**crazydave** · 06-06-2008, 22:28

hya - not been ignoring you but havent been able to get onto the site to answer anything.

had my not fun holiday jabs last monday and I've been sluggish all week then a dodgy egg custard has wrecked me form yesterday.

luke - 21st I'm in egyptcestershire so we'll have to try an earlier meet or a later one.

**luke_s** · 06-06-2008, 23:26

You about this Monday for a swift pint Dave?
Or anyone else for that matter.
Luke.

**jinx** · 07-06-2008, 21:31

Cor blimey! What a struggle getting on to this site. Sorry Iv'e missed your posts, but this is the first time I have been able to get back.

I'm still keen to meet any evenings except Mondays and Tuesdays.

Ash, are you in or around the cheltenham area? What road do you come in on and we could meet in a pub convenient for you. I'm in "The Reddings" myself.

Jinx

okay that I can do - time?

**luke_s** · 09-06-2008, 00:07

Is half seven ok for you Dave?

**crazydave** · 09-06-2008, 01:08

half 7 at the four mile it is then

**Kerne** · 09-06-2008, 07:34

I live near Gloucester and wander in the Cotswolds when I can't get further afield. Thought i was alone...

**ASH** · 09-06-2008, 09:10

Hello folks finally able to log in again!

Luke S, Crazydave It would be good to meet up toinight if you don't mind me tagging along.

Jinx, I live in Leckampton. Perhaps one of the pubs on the old bath road, but I'm up for suggestions.

Just a suggestion, as we all have difficulties finding the time to all meet up together it might be better to set dates well in advance and as long as at least two are able to go then we meet up. That way at least we can book dates in our diaries, although not all will be able to join in every time it at least gives a chance. As previously mentioned I think sunday would be the best day for all concerned.

Hope to see you soon
