North wood 27-29 april bluebell meet

[MartinK9]

yes looking busy mate, i hope they can woods got its best frock on this month for them

like it or not the weathers going to be a bit grim re rain by all accounts. ill popdown and recce the access tomorrow but i think its unlikely we can get to CP3, i will post up when i get back. not all bad, well have stacks of wood to keep us steaming any newbies see post 1 re fires.

Cheers Steve,

I hope we can make it up to CP3, been too long since we've camped at that end.

[sasquatch]

It does look as though it'll be grim weather wise. Not bothered myself but I need to think of ways to keep Joseph from being bored sitting under tarps all weekend. I'm happy for a bit of rain, reminds me of many past meets that were all tarp city styles. Seems as though it's been ages since we had one of those! CP3 would be cool as it's been ages, let's hope the weather allows it eh.

[SimonD]

i'd give me left ******* to be going to this meet. I hope everyone has a fantastic time. If i'm honest, I prefer the meets where the weather's crappy, tightens up the admin and tests out the gear. Enjoy people, I shall see you at the next one

[woodspirits]

the way i see it, im going to camp lower end anyway, it just means ill have to walk my gear in no real hardship. im going up there today for a final look see

I'll be setting off early and have my normal fat boy's brekkie from the layby butty wagon.

If that's not ;then I'll head off to ASDA for a posh brekkie.

Should be there from 9ish in the layby

There'll be a more clement one sometime and I'll look forward verrrrry much to meeting you then In the meantime, we'll facebook, dahhhhhhling....

[woodspirits]

meet will be at lower NW

following a meeting on site at NW with martin this morning, theres an event on the approach paddock. (see post 1) also they are shooting on cp2 so that route today to lower wood is out. going anti clockwise around the wood to drop off point (see post 1) is too wet so that is out for vehicles.

anybody arriving today will have to unload at the upper gate to the wood and return your vehicle to cp1 car park by the toilets and tab in to the lower end, thereafter cp2 and 3 should be available, will update again tomorrow.

[Istvan]

Was a pleasure to meet you all again.
Thanks to Tinky Pete with helping me with the foraging on friday night
