Sussex Bushcraft Group: Febuary Meet on 25th/26th

[Kepis]

Just popped in there to say hello and no one is there yet and John didn't have a booking for us, so I booked D1 E same as usual for us all. I'll be back tomorrow morning so I'll see you all then.

Phew - thanks for popping in there Simon, could have been fun - should be there mid morning tomorrow - just packing the ruck sack now

[Neumo]

Spoken to campsite earlier & we are on D1E as usual; been so busy at work I completely forgot about the paperwork. Will be up in the morning & hope to see you all soon.

I apologised to Jon who said it was all taken care of. Thanks for sorting it out Simon.

[Simon H]

Not a problem chaps, I think they're quiet there atm anyway so it would have been ok, besides John is always amenable.Just left Andy and Jack up there but I'll be back about 10ish tomorrow morning.

[Kepis]

See you all tomorrow, btw was the water on, if not i'll take a 5 Ltr container?

[Neumo]

No the water on D1E is NOT on, so we will have to bring our own containers. I will bring a 5L one & there are usually plenty of others so we will be OK

[Kepis]

okey dokey, will bung a 5L container in the motor, if i get the time, i'll get a couple of 25L ones out and bring those along

Thank you all for the very warm welcome and to Hugo's bacon sandwich and Robin's still unidentified tea bag
I'm definitely loonking forward learning from you guys !

Hope you had an amazing weekend and a safe trip back home.

See you next month !

[hellobayo]

I was about to make my way down at noon, however seems like everyone's on their way home already. Was so looking forward to showing off my pink paring knife and use my stove.

Hope to see you all next month!

[spandit]

You were sorely missed. I haven't laughed so hard in ages (thanks Jake!). Hope you feel better, Hugo...

[Peter_t]

was a very good meet and a bloody good laugh. can't wait for next months!

[widu13]

In honour of Frank Carson: It's a cracker!

We had a great time. Could you please keep the camp fire discussion down to a dull roar next time? Oh, and if you could find another log that is especially shaped to be devoid of any heat at all on my side of the fire that'd be great.

Hugo,

Hope you have warmed up and are okay.

See you all soon.

[Hugo]

Sorry to leave you guys hanging whilst I packed and upped sticks to get back home. Never did get in my basha that night.
Better to be home when you are feeling crook, much better now mind.
As always you guys were a right laugh and I look forward to meeting you all next time.

[monkey boy]

great meet as always guys, thanks for having me i really enjoyed the laughs, hugo hope you are ok mate,

a great nite with all tho's stars we had, cant wait for the next one 

[Kepis]

had a great time chaps & of course chapesses, loads of laughs, learnt a few things as well, some nice tipples last evening as well - quality time, will post some pics up later

[Simon H]

Sounds like I missed a good laugh on Saturday night although I did enjoy my brief afternoon visit. Good to meet some of you that I hadn't met and some of the new faces too! Will definitely be there for the whole weekend next time.

[Neumo]

Another great meet with the usual fine group of people. Learned quite a bit, drank lots of tea, made some forks & a chopping board, so all in all a good weekend. Nice to see a few new faces show up, that will hopefully become regulars. I was pleased that my froe had a busy first proper outing & was going through most things with ease; it needs a new handle but that will be fixed sometime soon. Thanks to everyone for attending & I hope you all had a much fun as I did. Big thanks to Jake for the stew which was good.

We sort of agreed that the next meet will be the last weekend of March, the 24th/25th of March, so I made a provisional booking at the office for & D1E is unfortunately booked that weekend. We can talk about where we want to go when I put the March meet thread up in a bit.

[Neumo]

The March meet thread is now up:

[jackcbr]

Ditto to all the above. These meets are the highlight of my month. Never known such a friendly atmosphere.


Hugo. I do hope it wasn't the cooking that made you unwell. Kepis, many thanks for the knitting lesson, I'm looking forward to doing some drilling next time.spandit, you truly are one of a kind and for that we are all thankful. And everyone else a big thank you for a top notch weekend. Roll on march (the month, not the walking)

And one final thank you to Our Lord JC. Thank you for providing your bountiful firewood from on high. It did burn bright and hot and consumed the unsplitable log

[jackcbr]

Big thanks to Jake for the stew which was good.

Thanks Neumo, lucky there wasn't too many of us as my mobile canteen isn't quite up to Neil's standards. But if we all learnt nothing else this weekend, it's that a potato is a vegetable, isn't that right Widu
