    Default BushMoot 2012

    BushMoot dedicated pages can be found here BushMoot Information and Tickets

    Right then, here's the details that you're going to be needing.

    Here's the link for purchasing tickets for the moot Get your Moot tickets here

    For your diaries:

    Monday 30th July - 2pm (ish) open the site to Full members only

    Tuesday 31st July - 2pm (ish) open the site to members

    up to and including the 3rd Aug = camping days on site (No activities planned or run by us, it will be a camp site for people to use)

    4th - 6th Aug - Sat, Sun, Mon = Workshop days (The same format we always have at the Moot)

    7th Aug - trader day + Hangi and bring a meal (7pm) (Response to the Dutch Oven bring a meal was brilliant so we're expanding it to a bigger much and mingle type event )

    8th - 10th camping days on site (No activities planned or run by us, it will be a camp site for people to use)

    Sat 11th All leave for home by 1pm

    Of course it will not be compulsory for people to be there for the whole event but there's been a lot of interest in being on the site longer. It will give you the opportunity to get out and explore the local area or just relax in the beautiful site that we use.

    Come and join us at the Summer 2012 BushMoot (extended)

    Following on from the success of last years Moot and the demand for an even longer event we have increased to 11 days (13 for Full members) We'll still have the workshops, traders day and communal meal but on top of that we've added loads of extra days for camping, relaxing and taking advantage of the great private site we use in South Wales.


    The Bushcraft UK Bushmoot for bushcraft uk members was conceived to provide an organised individual and family event where people with an interest in bushcraft could gather with like minded individuals and expand their knowledge through mutual skill sharing. The event is based on a coastal estate Nr Bridgend, South Wales.

    It doesn’t matter whether you are new to the world of bushcraft or an old hand, everyone is welcome and all we ask is that you come and enjoy yourself. Everyone is free to share what they know and we promise you will leave with new found knowledge and new friends.

    More information (FAQ) can be found here and payment options can be found right here

    Here's some feedback from people that have attended:

It was nice to meet so many members and to put names to faces, which is what it is all about at the end of the day. The courses were great and I like the 1/2 day approach, with the odd full day, which is a nice change from the 1 hour course at the Wilderness Gathering. Thanks to everyone involved in putting the Moot on and hope to see you all next year.

    Everyone made me feel really welcome - especially Mad Dave, Cap'n Badger, Troy, John & Sargey for impromptu workshops & hacking down stuff.

    Tony - the event was really well organised - loads to do and see and with so many different choices, it's assured that I'll be coming back next year to finish off what I started

    Everyone on the team worked so hard keeping everyone happy - whilst the water wasn't always hot, I never found a loo without a toilet roll and there was always someone about for a chat or to point us in the right direction.

    Ah so many faces to the names in the forums - feel free to keep in touch!

    I'm also uploading the pictures to flickr as I type.

    Shame I didn't get a picture of the life raft in the mammock but I shall definitely be booking the full week off next year and take it all at a bit more of a relaxed pace

    You can view the photos here

    oh and

    THANK YOU everyone. It probably hasn't been said enough, though I'm a bit bitter I didn't win the Axe = )

    It's a cheaper holiday for us next year so I'm hoping to finally break my Moot cherry, a week in Wales and then a week in Scotland should do nicely.

    Well... for the sake of peace and quiet tis better to let her think she's doing me a favour and being magnanimous in letting me go

    Mind you she couldn't really say no as I'd already said she could go to Maderia with her line prancing cronies for a week

    Ohhh cool I had a bad case of bushmoot blues and was so wanting to be back already. They say you should never wish your life away so my wish is for bushmoot to happen 10 or 20 times a year but seeing as thats not going to happen.

    I will happily look forward to nexts years and you can count me and V-ness in for the whole lot.

    I promise not to wear my tight speedos for the Bushmoot Olympics.

    My friend Ben did it from my house last year - it's about 3hrs journey which is substantially quicker than by car and had he driven on his own, would have cost similar prices if you include petrol, insurance and car maintenance!

    You can always get a pickup from the station, plenty of nice people going who'll give you a lift.

    Thanks for the advanced dates Tony, will get them over to the wife - just me and her in my car this year!
