Fires, hammocks, tents all welcome. Fresh stream running right through the middle of the site, this is also used to supply a couple of local cottages and is tested twice a year.
There is also plunge pools and a natural shower if you are brave enough.

THE COST:
This meet is totally free! Ivan does have plans for charges in the future but this time it's a freebie.

Mayo, parking is in a farm yard. So as much as anything is safe these days, I would say yes.

**FreddyFish** · 14-02-2011, 15:55

Ivan

**Nova & Pinky** · 14-02-2011, 16:02

Being our first BCUK foray as well, how do these things usually work in terms of food, catering any other supplies etc?

Mick I missed the one with NB, once my working dates come through I'll see if I can get along as well.

**southey** · 14-02-2011, 16:20

Yay! Lovely guys. will any one be willing to give my raspberry based spirit a try? that's if I can get it there with out the bottles emptying.

**ex member mick sturbs** · 14-02-2011, 16:32

Right i am going to answer 3 questions at once, not pretending i can multitask,To Nova and Pinky ,isuggest you bring stuff for yourselves, but bushcrafters are good at sharing and dont let anybody go hungry , depends on any special dietry requirements but i will probably cook lamb underground, accompanied with a big pot of veg. Leon-1 more than welcome bud, because you are so close you can be a last minute person. Southey please try and avoid all spillage of the raspberry surprise ... Ivan

**southey** · 14-02-2011, 16:34

Roger.......out!
