    Default South Wales Meet?

    Would anyone be up for a meet in South Wales around early April Ish just for a weekend? Perhaps we could do it in Bridgend where the moot usually is?

    Anyone interested?

    Will

    The moot site is very expensive even if you could rent it, you need to find somewhere else I'm afraid. There is a nice site in Brecon that allows fires and will be open, on the river and you can fish there.

    http://www.priorymillfarm.co.uk/campsite.htm

    There is a field at the far end of the site you could snag for yourselves. A very quiet site and yet is walking distance to a pub. This would make a good venue if you are meeting people for the first time, you can chat, camp, have a fire or go down the pub to break the ice.

    Looks like a lovely spot - may get the family down in the summer.

    I just took a job in Abergavenny starting in August. I am looking forward to living out of London, not much in the way of bushcraft going down in Peckham unless your in my garden or sitting room. I would be interested in attending some meets after August (and sooner if I can timetable it in).

    Where in Abergavenny, Neville Hall perhaps? Its a nice town and close to some great countryside, you'll have a great time there.

    How did you guess. I suppose most of the throughput
    of people is through the hospital. Got a 2-3 year rotation so I'm really looking forward to getting to know the national park intimately!

    I worked there back in 2000, did a few months working trauma, nice hospital, nice staff, nice town. Your in a good spot, everything is to hand, the Beacons etc.

    Settle in and get in touch as I am camping once a month now not far from you.

    I thought I would try and rejuvinate this thread.
    I have now moved to Wales and settled into my new home. I was wondering if there would be much interest in trying to get a meet organised before the end of summer. C'mon, you know you want to come out and play in the woods!

    I could do with a night or two out and about. As long as it's not the first weekend in the month (training weekends) I'm in.

    There is a South Wales group and forum I believe ?

    I'll be organising a trip for newer members hopefully at the end of October, depending upon permission to use a new site we are looking at.

    I'm up for a meet but am in Scotland for two weeks at the end of October. I feel maybe a November one we can sort?

    Anyone up for 11th to 13th November? BNI (Glynn Neath area?)
