    Only on a small scale, mind you the Cider industry isn't quite what it used to be at H.P.Bulmers, the WORLDS largest cider makers

    Mind you plenty of places to hang your hammocks amongst the cider apple orchards

    I could well be up for this, perhaps with a couple of mates too.

    Dates and wife pass etc



    Edit: I should add that the mates are buffalobill and xairbourne from here (they just don't post that much) and you know them from a w/e course.

    Southside mate, one would be to use Lofty Wisemans old place as a basecamp and venture out, I got permissions here and on the adjoining private land, practically out my back garden and easy for anyone who's not got transport, ie, good bus route from station etc, or another spot a few miles out on the Ross road, I'll chreck with the landowners in the next couple weeks and put up a choice of dates and locations in the new year guys.

    Good afternoon,

    Herefordian here and a recent addition to this excellent forum although I have been visiting for quite some time.

    I would most certainly be interested in attending dependant on dates.

    Whilst I am a tad bias anyone who is not familiar with this part of the world will not be disappointed.

    My early years - until I was 12 - were spent in Herefordshire...Whitecross, Marden, Bodenham and by Tupsley way.....
    I too could be interested in a Herefordshire meetup...Gods own County....I have great memories of the fields and woods, dens and dangers....
