Sussex Bushcraft group meet for MAY: 25th to 27th

[Simon H]

With my usual great sense of timing, I start a new job next week and the clutch has gone on my car so I will be walking in on Friday evening. On Saturday morning someone may have to run me home, please, to get the leatherworking box and the knife sharpening stuff

[jackcbr]

I can pick you up mate on the Friday evening if you like and pop you back Saturday. After all we're British.

[Simon H]

Ha, you're getting me back now Jack. Cheers mate, I appreciate it, I'll bell you later in the week when I know what's going on. Thanks mate. Walking in would have been fine but I was worried about shaking the beer up...

[jackcbr]

no probs, it's on my way, so it would just be a case of getting our times sorted.

Looks like we'll need an 18 wheeler to bring enough sausages to Broadstone...

[spandit]

I make that 30 people... Is there a maximum they can accept?

[Simon H]

I've seen some really big scout groups there so I would have thought 30 would be fine tbh. Plus they get a lot more cash...

[spandit]

Didn't want to go over the fire capacity

[jackcbr]

We could always try that double decker hammocking idea. Baggsie on top

[F7144]

I won't be able to make this one, I'm off to Exmoor on the Friday. Hope the weather is good to you.

Sorted. Got an Eddie Stobbart convoy on the way now.

[Rico]

I should be able to make it on the friday too as I no longer need to be at work.
Unfortunately the reason i'm not working, is I managed to break a toe on Monday.
At least i'll be instantly recognisable to everyone (i'll be the guy limping around with one massive daft looking shoe).

Thats both good and a shame. See you there Friday. Not sure what time yet, just save me a couple of trees and a spot by the fire.

[Big Stu 12]

Us mob at suffolk,
Thats Roman Soldier, Rumcelt, Kimboko, are trying to sor out food, whats the crack with all the meals, I know it has been said about the communial fire and cooking but how does it work, and are we allowed any other fires, i am just wondering what happens in the mornig as far as cooking breakfast ect.

And also whats the crack with the communial meal that we can all join in on.. I think thats a great idea.

Onlyasking as we got to get our arses in gear this end.

[widu13]

We pondered having another fire last time due to numbers but this time I think we'll have to have at least one other fire.

Just draged a table out of the caravan as well.

[Hugo]

I agree there should be another fire. 30 people around one fire pit waiting there turn to make breakfast or dinner is not
very pleasing.
Mind you there are a few of us who do cook on small stoves for quickness.
Best communal meal was the one Neil and Lee made, best venison stew I've had.
Not long to go now fellas, hope you all have a good tuck box to take along with you, and a chair.

[spandit]

Trying to cook enough stew for 30 people could be problematic too - I'll probably just bring my own bits and bobs. Not sure if I'll be staying for the Saturday night but will bring my parachute so we'll have shelter for 2 fires regardless

[jackcbr]

I'm only there Friday night, so will self cater this time. But will bring the griddle for breakfast Saturday morning for those that surface in time.

I can almost taste the sausage already.

It should have said Swallow + 1 (not =1) so I make it 31 and it might be + 2

[Big Stu 12]

Whats the time we can book onto the site on the Friday?, we are aiming to be there for about 2pm. I take it that we have to book in at the main reception when we first arrive, and who will we have to give the site fee's to?

[Simon H]

2pm is fine Stu, and yeah check in at reception, it's all signed in the car park. Neumo's the boss, he collects the cash on Sunday.

Thats great, thank you, I know we are getting excited and cant wait for next Friday... see you all there.

[Simon H]

No problem mate, I'm looking forward to it too.

[jackcbr]

With this many bods fire wood is going to be scarce. I don't have much and it might be a bit green, but I'll chuck a few logs in the back of the LR to get things going Friday night.

Think I'll try and book a half day and get over for mid afternoon, looking forward to meeting the Suffolk boys and so new faces. Now going to start sorting my kit and loading the LR.

[spandit]

I'll be there around lunchtime on Friday - will need a hand in raising the 'chute & then we can get a decent supply of firewood in

Also, everyone who promised money for the group 'chute etc. remember to bring it! I'll also be bringing a leather hide to sell in bits so bring some cash for that too, assuming we're still running a leatherworking workshop

thats a very good point. what do we owe, as i tend to only bring the cash i need so i cant lose any. Will be there a bit after 2 now.

[Hugo]

Bring plenty Jack mate, there are other things to buy as well. ha ha.

Wish I had some spare at the moment mate, but May is very tight for me. Next month not looking great either.
