whaaaat! you ok tim?

Yeah i fine chap, just gutted i am going to miss the meet now.

[woodspirits]

absolute shame yes, but first things first. i would think at the moment a meet is way down the list.

[woodspirits]

had a wander down north wood today to look in on the lads (and lasses), it all looks very chilled and relaxed i think one or two may just move in!

for the benefit of any visitors to the event, or even any new arrivals unfamiliar to NW, we have posted some waymarkers to guide people in.
parking will be on cp2 see post 1 for location, its far too soft for vehicles to travel beyond this. however if you have a 4x4 then by all means carry on to cp3 if you want

[/B]either way, please keep vehicle movements to an absolute minimum to avoid excessive rutting.

due to the recent weather, the damp sheltered interior of the wood is of course a happy hunting ground for mozzies! dont forget to bring whatever protection you favour.

look forward to seeing you all soon,

Steve

[TurboGirl]

I heard from Jason on basefook that he and Sam are being mozzie-munched, I wonder if we'll find skeletons and mozzies too fat to fly!

Lee, I've made you a Baileys Cheesecake but it's all got to be eaten on Friday night as I can't keep it cool

Excessive Rutting? I didn't see THAT mentioned as a spectator event on the flyer.... I'll recharge my camera batteries for that one!

Realllllly looking forward to seeing you all again, I've still to autosol Barbaras plaque, can't wait for everyones demos and all the fun in the field

[Andy BB]

Trust me, the mozzies are out in invasion force - get the lotion on before you get out of the car!

all part and parcel, perhaps we should take up.....knitting!

[Andy BB]

All gone quiet on the North Woods front - they're either enjoying themselves too much or have been washed away or eaten by the mossies!

[TinkyPete]

Just back from an excellent meet. Did get eaten by mossies a bit. did my back in more to the point, had hot bath to ease it off a bit. feeling a bit better but still to unpack the car, will do so once I feel up to it later.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance in packing up especially Sal, Martin, Neil and Steve.

Thanks for organizing the meet Steve.

And was great to see everyone enjoying themselves and relaxing.

[Karl82]

another fantastic meet cheers Steve and everyone that attended.

Steve, thanks for putting on a great Meet.

Well put Martin. Many thanks to one and all.

Priam & Sam

[sasquatch]

Cheers Steve for another quality meet. Thanks to all for the company, great to be out as always. It takes more than a bit of mud and mossies to dampen spirits at North Woods, Joseph and I are already looking forward to the next one.

[TurboGirl]

Such a lovely weekend, muddy wet mozzifilled fun for everyone! I've stuck my pics up here Thank you so much to all the people involved, especially Steve... we're so lucky to be a apart of your Northwood flock, HUUUGE appreciation for being part of this wonderful community in the woodlands

[nolightweight]
