Inside the M25 summer meet

Dose anyone fancy a night or two in the woods at Romford. Usual rules and regs apply, but after back in march there will be no more riffles on site sorry I'm thinking middle of June. It would be nice to see all the southeast group together. Let me know

Regards

Hey guys, just seen this thread. Would be great to meet up with you guys again. You'll have to put me down as a provisional - depending on the actual dates: Cant make 16th-17th. let me know what dates you settle on?

[Tony1948]

[Wrighty28]

100 % on this guy's providing it doesn't clash with training. Only gone and joined the army haven't I!

Fair enough about the rifles rule, its not like we decimated a species though haha, couldnt hit a barn door that day lol!

Be good to see you all again, think im definitely investing in a front line for this, was getting far to hot in the camping hammock and the its very annoying having the material drape against ones face. Although to my dismay i may have to leave the snugpak at home if the weathers nice!

[Wrighty28]

Also, CAN NOT do weekends of the 8th & 16th.

[Wrighty28]

And I believe I promised to serve up some chicken and chorizo for grub up!

Tony, I trust the market will be open when you arrive?! Must say, that 58' pattern day sack has come in very handy. I use it predominantly as the kitchen; I can fit everything in there bar a Dutch oven ( which I still need!)

[Wrighty28]

any confirmed dates yet guys?!

[Tony1948]

I have'ant herd anything from Mark since the first post this time round.

[Wrighty28]

I text him a few days ago buy nothing since. Think il drop him a message now.

[mark]

Sorry for the awall, had no Internet, plus in Dorset for the week, bad weather.
By request shall we meet on Saturday 30th at noon ( the norm ).

[Tony1948]

I'm up for that see you guys on the 30th:camping:

[mark]

I set you young uns a challenge. Go light weight. My plan is to come as light as pos. Bed roll, tarp, knife, axe etc see how yu go packing. Let us know how you get on.

[Wrighty28]

I'm down for that haha. Ditching the sleeping bag this time as combine with the snug pak I was boiling! Probably just go with a blanket. Think my kit list will be :

Tarp, hammock, under quilt, blanket. Mini hammock, knife, brew kit.

Do u still want me to do this chorizo chicken stew? Only thing il need is a Dutch oven if anyone has one I could use? And I am NOT forgetting the whiskey this time haha.

But we still have the chataue - noof - de crap in the cache remember !

[Tony1948]

Marks over nighter is the 30th of this month to any one hows out there and would like to come along all wellcome:camping:a bit of a get to gether.Boys in the woods.Its a boy thing.:campfire:

guest list is Mark, yourself, Mac and I at the moment I believe?

- does anyone have a dutch oven they could bring along?!

[mark]

Just as another little side project, if we get time, any one fancy a little shelter building project. So we can leave bits and bobs behind. ?

[Wrighty28]

Yeh I'd give that a go. You looking to utilise that over turned tree?

[mark]

That's the one. Or the option would be to move the base point around there the upturned stump would make a good reflector, and rain cover.

[Wrighty28]

possibly. i cant remember the tree situation around that spot. however the current spot can only really cater for about 3 around the fire.

[Wrighty28]

Come on guys look alive! What's the deali-o? Still on?

[mark]

Ok chaps with one week to go. Same as before midday sharpe in the car park on Saturday 30th June. and then on to the farm in convoy. Wrighty have you found a cook pot yet if not I have a big stew pot not a Dutch but It should do.

[BackPackMac]

looking forward to it! See you guys there

[Wrighty28]
