    They're not actually that close if you look at the plan. Must remember to meet up, you've got my number

    Oooo, somewhere new to camp.

    Park in the top car park

    I've started my packing but can barely move the Bergen as it is - working on a lightweight list for a walk-in...

    Phew! See you all tomorrow or Saturday!
    That's a relief, i liked D8 last time, very comfortable & lots of fire wood, do you lot want me to bring my big old tri pod along for hanging a kettle off of?

    yup, park in the Ranger car park and walk up, it's not that far in reality, just beware of the big old pot hole as you drive in through the gate though.

    Think we need to have a discussion about booking etc on Saturday and get some structure to the meets, if people are happy to work on having a meet on the last full weekend of each month as we discussed last month, then it would be easy to fill in the booking form and book the next months one or even a couple of months in advance while we are actually on site, all it would need is for whoever takes the money down on the Sunday to take a completed booking form with them as well - job done, i'll pick some up on Saturday morning when i arrive, unless someone else can get some prior to that?.

    What do you lot think?

    Welcome to the forum, by the way! Be prepared for a bit of banter... I can't promise to be on my best behaviour
    What would you plug into the electric hookup if there was one?

    You might want to introduce yourself on the introductions forum first, then ask the question in a separate thread. SimonH SWMBO forages professionally but not sure if she runs organised courses

    I'm sorry to hear that - just thinking you'll get a better response in a different thread. I hope you can make it, you'll be very welcome!

    Is that accessible from the Forest Visitors Centre or only from the main entrance?

    Drive down to the Visitor centre and as you turn in from the main road the entrance is immediately on your left

    Widu13 isn't coming since you made him cry last time. Anyway, my blanket isn't pink anymore... Kepis, you sound a bit jealous, do you need Jack and I to give you a "special" hug?

    That big pot hole has damaged my car, big piece of moulded plastic came of when I bottomed out the first time I went to the meet. Obviously my fault.
    D8 is my favourite as well.
    No word from Lonja yet is he coming, nice lad, interesting as well.

    He doesn't check the forum that often but I don't know if D8 is big enough for the 'chute. We can all huddle under your new canvas tarp!

    I am doing guided tours around the new canvas tarp that I made yesterday.
    They are guided for security reasons, don't want anyone walking off with it. ha ha.
    Hospital food Kepis mate, you got me there.
    It has been a couple of days and I haven't burnt or stabbed or cut myself once. Fingers crossed.

    It means if Spandit gives me one of his "special hugs" then he might be eating Hospital Food

    Guided tarp tours eh, i assume it's a ticket only event?, dont want any old riff raff around
