North meet part II==New year episode

**Razorstrop** · 31-10-2005, 23:35

just as a provisional thing, but theres a fair chance the scout campsite at Hebdon Bridge could be available at New Year

anyone provisionally interested?

Mr Strop

**redcollective** · 31-10-2005, 23:41

Tentatively - yes? How close to New Year you thinking?

**Razorstrop** · 31-10-2005, 23:45

New Year itself, say 30th to the 1st possibly the 2nd

**JoshG** · 01-11-2005, 00:24

I might be able to make it. It sounds like a nice idea.

**Razorstrop** · 01-11-2005, 00:31

Well just to put it in perspective, I will be there, or somewhere either way having a bushcrafty new year and anyone who wants to come along and share it are more then welcome.
I'll be hopefully building a shelter and more campcraft and possibly hand drill fire lighting.

Ho ho ho?

**Emberglow** · 01-11-2005, 00:57

Well Garry you can count me in for defo. even if its only camping I will be there, what better way to see the new year in than with like minded people

**gaz_miggy** · 01-11-2005, 18:38

ill say yes were is it? any links of postcodes for multimap?

**scruff** · 01-11-2005, 19:27

hmmmm....maybe so. its a bit closer to home than cumbria!

i'll have to see if i'm allowed to play.

which site is it maybe i've been as a kid (scouts)?

**redcollective** · 01-11-2005, 19:36

Hebden Hey perhaps?

**twelveboar** · 01-11-2005, 19:38

I've mentioned it and it could be a possibility for us, it will depend on the wider family and what they have planned, but I think you could pencil us in with at least a 2b pencil for now. What sort of thing are you looking at? a bit of light bushcrafting, camping and a fairly serious booze up would be right up my street.

**running bare** · 02-11-2005, 18:43

provisionally count me in plus 1.

tom

**Graham_S** · 02-11-2005, 23:18

The name is spelled Hebdon or Hebden depending on where you look.
Try
http://www.hebdenhey.org.uk/
I think this is the one that's being discussed.

Cheers,
Toddy

**jdlenton** · 03-11-2005, 09:23

I've done a new year at hebden Hay you lucky people if it comes off it'll be great and if it snows you won't be getting out in a hurry iirc. Wish I could come but i won't get a pass from my other half for new year enjoy

**shaggystu** · 04-11-2005, 20:29

new years in a field having a few drinks with a group of (almost) complete strangers really is very close to my idea of heaven. me and the girlfriend would definately be interested, so that's me+1. not strictly the right thread i know but i hope you all had a fantastic time last weekend in the lakes, i'm still sulking about not being able to make it, but these things happen, i WILL be at the next one!!!

stuart

**morch** · 04-11-2005, 20:42

I'd be interested in that Mr Strop

**Razorstrop** · 05-11-2005, 15:05

Hi all
Posted that just before I left for work the other day. Only just got back today and glad to see theres a few interested parties.

Tweleveboar has got the theme spot on, as much or as little bushcraft as anyone wants to do but more importantly a good few beers and seeing the new year in the right way by actually being out there expereincing it, and sharing it with other people.
And if Scruff is cooking again.............well that should be enough to get half of BCUK members down feeding their faces

I'll do a bit of work on a location early next week and see where it takes us, but if anyone has any suggestions lets hear them!

Like I said, I'll be somewhere having a bushcrafty new year, and it would be great if anyone/everyone could make it

Looking into it
Mr Strop

**wanderinstar** · 06-11-2005, 11:28

You can pencil me in +1. You may have noticed, bin trying to find out best way to keep warm in middle of winter in a hammock. Think I,ve opened a hornets nest.
Ian.

Just bin on Scout website and it says this site is open Easter to October, mind you it was last updated 2002. Hope it is open New Year.

**gaz_miggy** · 07-11-2005, 17:57

ok dont think i can go sugested it to the other half and i think shes still chowing on a bit of my ear

**scruff** · 08-11-2005, 11:01

I'll be mister strop if i've got to do all the cooking again!! grr!!

nah jus kiddin

if anyone fancies making a bushcraft oven we can have fresh(er) bread?!

think i'll be up for it cos as of this wknd i've got no one to seek permission from anymore (ie. i got dumped)

**Scout** · 09-11-2005, 20:12

thers a place called great towers in the lakes (went with scouts a few years ago)

**twelveboar** · 12-11-2005, 22:24

Bit worried about the site, if no dogs are allowed, we could be a bit knackered. I couldn't celebrate the New Year without my trusty hound. He is after all the brains of the outfit.

**Razorstrop** · 14-11-2005, 18:40

I'm really struggling to find us somewhere or this meet over New Year.

Last call for any suggestions???

Mr Strop

**JoshG** · 14-11-2005, 20:02

Surely we can find somewhere? I have no suggestions though, sorry.

**redcollective** · 14-11-2005, 21:38

I'm looking hard Mr Strop but at the moment I'm only coming up with preponderance of 'woodland' camping and caravanning

sites.

**Graham_S** · 14-11-2005, 21:48

are there any forestry commission campsites in the area we might use? (similar to the site we used at achray in scotland)

**morch** · 14-11-2005, 21:52

Only place i can suggest is the Great Towers scout site that Scout mentioned earlier. It is in the lakes though so people may not fancy going there as we've not long been there for the northern meet.

**redcollective** · 14-11-2005, 22:05

I've checked out the forestry commission website - not much open or okay for camping/dogs that time of the year...

**Graham_S** · 14-11-2005, 22:08

i have no objection to going back to the lakes.

**JoshG** · 15-11-2005, 09:35

If going back to the lakes is the only option then I'll take it!
