Will have to get over there a bit lively on the Friday 25th,it will be getting dark around 3-30_4 by then.If Mark can sort it I can get over there just after midday and get the :campfire: going if Mark sort's it with the landowner,if he can any other that can make it about the same time?
I have a pink slip for the three days. Will try and by there as soon as pos. I was thinking, as tony suggested. He plus who ever else get there early. The rest get there as soon as pos. Paul if you want to come to Romford by train I can pick you. Feed yourself Friday night. Saturday morning I can cook and Sunday morning any takers for Saturday night ? Sopping will by done over the weekend. I think a shelter needs to be built, I will dig out the dunny Saturday.

I've just bottled 20 litres of Sauvignon Blanc and 20 litres of dark velvet stout, so will bring some of this as well as the larger, cider and elderflower champagne I've got ready :)

I know that Plus 1 cannot make it and I don't want to commit just yet as I'm not sure how things will pan out with the move. So, in the event I do turn up it's going to be at short notice and it would be for the Saturday night only, hence I'd come armed with my own grub (and beers!!!) plus a breakfast contribution too. I'd be grateful if someone could PM me the gate code (not likely I'll be able to get a C130 for a HALO entrance).
I'm happy to assist with the mass catering on Saturday night, but only if I'm there!
Sure I read about brandy somewhere up in the thread. Must remember to bring a box of the those chocolate brownies. Seem to remember that they soaked up brandy quite well and it was a good flavour combo.

Chaps, I am deeply gutted that I will not be able to attend. All I ask is that there's adequate photographic evidence posted here after the event - ESPECIALLY if there's another "chorizo incident" !!! The forum will need to know if further gastronomic discoveries are made - specifically involving dunking things in brandy.
Enjoy, have a great time and I look forward to seeing you all as soon as possible.

I've got a 2nd DD under quilt you can try out for the event.
I'd bring a pad too for extra warmth, as it's a static camp, we go heavy! The DD under blanket will allow you to open up your bag as a top quilt so you benefit from the extra loft on top (so they say) ;)
If you need anything else just holler. Just bring bring your grub and booze. Oh and don't forget the booze! Ha.

I've constructed a dunny, not dug the hole but the shelter is up.a project for the weekend could be a shelter build, plenty of leaf and wind fall timber on the ground.
The chute and 25 lt water butt are up there. The water butt is empty. Will need filling from the outside tap by the stable tea room.

Looking forward to this chaps! See most of you tomorrow, the rest on Saturday.
Mark46w, if you get here: http://goo.gl/maps/X9i8w and call when you're at the gate, Mark will give you the gate code and we'll walk up and meet you at the site car park.
Any last requests lads? Going shopping in the morning.
How about a communal stew on Saturday night? everyone just bring a bit of meat and some veg.
We usually get a rabbit or two, so if we're lucky on Friday night, we can use them for Saturday night :) What do you reckon?
Need a big pot. Anyone got a big Dutch Oven or similar?

There's gotta be more to bring than black pudding. What else do we need. I'll do the cheese and biscuits and I'll get some of those chocolate brownies for the Cognac! (that'll piss Matt off!)

The link below is to a thread on here that I posted earlier this year. It is handy if there are no trees and you happen to have a couple of scaffold poles to hand!

For my next bushy request, any of you fancy showing me some basics on sharpening techniques please, I haven't got a bushy knife ( yet ) but have a few sharps that could do with a better edge.
TIA and still hyper, anyone wanna do the Friday as well as Saturday night, is that even do-able ?

Wrong place mate this is last meet back in October. And calm down ease into it slowly. If the weath is bad it won't be fun. See what I can so next time.
