**william#** · 06-09-2005, 13:12

is there a sussex group ?

**Marts** · 06-09-2005, 13:19

There's the Ashdown group. PM Paganwolf or Bambodoggy for details. Otherwise it's possible there could be something brewing around the Blackberry wood thread so keep an eye on it

HERE

**Wayne** · 06-09-2005, 14:19

There are a growing number of people on here from Sussex.

I'ts about time we had a group going. Shinobi has organised a drinks session in Brighton.
If there is enough interest i dont see why we could not have a meet up in Sussex.

I have access to some land should the need arise.

Great

Let us see what the interest is and we can set some dates.

What sort of activities are people interested in?

**Marts** · 06-09-2005, 16:38

I'm definitely up for a meet. As far as events/demos goes - personally I'd love to have some help with flint knapping. Would also like to look at tracking more. However a couple of trees for a hammock and a fire to cook and chat over are really my main requirements

**Rick** · 06-09-2005, 17:05

There are a few of us meet in Brighton quite regularly, usually for pubcraft sessions. I'm up for widening the network. Which part of Sussex are we talking?

**shinobi** · 06-09-2005, 17:22

Hiya William#,

Firstly, welcome to BCUK.

Secondly, hello from another sussex bushcrafter.

There's starting to be quite a strong Sussex community being built up here. There are people from the length and breadth of Sussex. Myself over in the East all the way to Wayne over in the west. Rob up in Crawley and all points in between!!! Where abouts are you based?
We've managed to meet up with others at the Ashdown moots as well as pub meet-ups in Brighton as Rick mentioned. There are plans afoot for bigger and better events in the future.

I guess the next event a lot of us will be going to will be the Weald Woodfair held at Bentley Wild-fowl centre at the end of the month. You up for that?
Looking forward to meeting up with you soon.

Cheers,

Martin

That reminds me, I have to change the location on my profile. I am over near Dormansland / East Grinstead now

I am always up for some time in the woods - and maybe even might venture down the pub.

**Wayne** · 06-09-2005, 18:52

Rob.

Its about time you got down to my woods.

By the enterance local archeaology group has found an ancient tile kiln. Records show it dates before 1400.

Also there is quite a nice pub 10 mins walk fro my site.

**bloodline** · 06-09-2005, 20:12

I would come to a Sussex meet Ive been to Blackberry Wood and would like to see more of the area. I remember when Kent was the Garden of England before the road system covered it.

Where and when are these drinks sessions then?

**william#** · 07-09-2005, 00:00

how about a camp out at harrisons rocks ?

maver,

We've had a couple so far. Seeing as Brighton is accessible for most people (and there are a high number from that fair city,) We've held them there. We usually choose a pub near the train station so those people from out of town can get there as well.

I feel the need for another meet-up soon!!

How does next Tuesday sound to everyone? but we'll go with which night the majority of people can make it.

cheers,

Martin

p.s. William# that sounds good to me!! I'm always up for trying new places out. Is that the forestry commission site with the sandstone climbing area?

**Phil562** · 07-09-2005, 17:02

Shinobi

Making a midweek drink would be a problem for me, but a weekend get together would be ideal, whatever the weather or time of year.

I'm not surprised. That's a hell of a way to come !!!

We'll see how things pan out. you never know, the weekend might be preferential to other people as well.

If it helps, a few of us will be going to the Weald woodfair on saturday 24th September if you fancy joining us?

**Phil562** · 07-09-2005, 17:21

Shinobi

Sounds good to me, PM with the pub name as and when

**Niall** · 12-07-2006, 16:00

Afternoon all,

Just signed up with this site and was looking for fellow bushcrafters is the west & east sussex area. I've only just started bushcrafting so I'm looking for pub-meets and camping weekenders (landowners permitting, of course) to see if I can't find my feet.

I live near Chichester so if anyone is down this way let me know - also I think I just missed the pub gathering you had organised so would like to know when you meet up again (I work near Brighton so not a problem to meet this end of the county).

Niall.

**pibbleb** · 15-07-2006, 22:47

I'm from the Horsham area along with Jon so any meet ups would be of interest.

First I've heard of the pub meets, but this would also be of interest.

**Wayne** · 15-07-2006, 22:50

**Adi** · 15-07-2006, 23:14

**pibbleb** · 15-07-2006, 23:27

**JonnyP** · 17-07-2006, 19:35

**Flipvert** · 06-04-2009, 10:15

Looking to get involved in nature since having my daughter... Starting to acquire equipment, but literally know nothing... really enjoy watching Ray Mears and the idea of discarding my digital possesions and gettting out in the wild... If anyone lives in Brighton or knows good places to go... things to do... meetings etc... PM or email Flipvert@hotmail.com ... many thanks

**Rob** · 06-04-2009, 12:16

Yeah - it looks like all wen't quiet on this thread.

Spring has definitely sprung, so how about a get together?

I have got access to a bit of woodland near Woodmancote (Nr Henfield) which is good for fires and camping. We usually do a "per head" deal with the farmer for using it.
