[wolfman]

no woodland on the land but pleanty of woodland about. its just a question of asking around really. ill put the feelers out this week .

[TinkyPete]

I am on the Worcestershire/Staffordshire/shropshire border area when at home so would be up for it, or you may want to come across to the North Wood or Rough close meets which are in Tamworth/Coventry area as well there are a few of us around, if you look in the Midlands section of meets you'll find us in there.

[R3XXY]

Let me know if you guys get anything together, I'm near the border of Cheshire / Shropshire.

[DanBow]

I'm in Bangor on Dee, just south of Wrexham. Depending on work, family etc, I'd be up for a meet.

Just googled your location. Quite right, not a million miles away.

[treebloke]

I have a small wood just outside Bridgnorth which is 38 acres mixed woodland and 12 acres grass, it has a brook with brown trout, natural spring which flows all year, badger set, occaisional deer, plenty firewood and lots of wild garlic at the moment.

If anyone would like a bit of wild camping/meet let me know.

Hi treebloke. Hope it's ok, but I've just sent you a PM regarding this post.

id love to tag aling.

[treebloke]

Well we are up to three so I think that's enough to make a start, what about April some time, the garlic will be rampant by then so at least there will be some thing to eat.

[gabrielsdad]

Sounds good to me. What sort of set ups are you thinking? Tipi and stove? Or hammock and tarp?

[wolfen_shrew]

April sounds good! I've just got myself a tarp so I'd like to give it an outing, but I'd be happy to go with the flow. Treebloke - are fires permitted in your woodland?

Well I dont have a Tipi but I do have a stove (Oz Pig) so whatever you are comfortable with.

Yes fires are ok depending on weather conditions.

[TinkyPete]

I have a couple of weeks off in April so would be up for it to

[gabrielsdad]

Sounds great. I just need dates and location really. Can we do some fishing? Im more than happy wiyh atch and release. Ive got a small stream, and you can soon empty a stretch if your not cafeful.

[MJM1]

I may be up for this as well depending on dates. Already got a pass for one weekend in April but you never know

I realy think if you catch you should cook it for the rest of us, I can light the fire.

[gabrielsdad]

Im actually a dab hand at cooking trout. Well cooking in general. Im just getting to grips with my frontier stove now.. im pretty confident i can bting home dinner. Id like to nobble them on the fly, but whrn it comes to getting dinner. Im not above.using a worm.

[gabrielsdad]

What dates are you thinking? I could do with some forewarning for the missus.

[MJM1]

Northwood is on 27th to 29th so that wouldn't be possible for me. Best for the rest of you come up with a date and I'll come along if possible that weekend. Fairly sure I could at least manage a Saturday through to Sunday.

[gabrielsdad]

Has this meet fizzled out now?

[MJM1]

Hope not, just down the road for me.

[gabrielsdad]

I just wondered with it being a week since tree bloke said anything about it.

[wolfen_shrew]

It looks like there's quite a bit of interest in this meet, so it would be a shame if it fizzled out. I'm keen to try out some of the new kit I've got!

I gather that treebloke's got a small business to run so that probably accounts for why he's not been on this thread for a bit.

True, please bear with me, I start work at 7am and finish around 6pm. I will try and put forward a few dates tomorrow.
