Loving it. And Campinggirl don't let the boys bother you - the tales I could tell..... ;)

[Scott]

Has anyone contacted Chris yet to see if the weekend is ok??? I can if not let me know

[Big T]

Not yet mate, last time I saw him he kinda said that it's cool to just rock up! I will ring him in the morn, feel free to contact him too as he is quite hard to get hold of so hopefully one of us will get hold of him!

[Scott]

Its easier to email him trying to get him on the phone is near impossible. He always says that but always a good idea to check as he does have other groups sometimes. Which woodland are you thinking top or bottom??

[Big T]

Ok mate, will do! Think most prefer the top as we're all quite "gear heavy"!

[Scott]

Right ok I can understand that lol the amount of kit I have dragged up and down that hill over the years.

[Big T]

We're all for the easy life!

Atta girl now ya talking, I dont scratch mine either as they were cut off by Her Indoors many years ago, for using bad language so I dont swear any more, which in turn means i talk in a high pitch voice as well.

Steve, ain't got a chute yet as bit skint at the mo! Will hopefully have one for the meet though!

As jus said guys, be careful what you post as anyone, including minors can access this forum!

[jus_young]

No offence committed, it's just very easy to get carried away with the conversation going too far unless a hint is dropped otherwise. If anything most kids would find it hilarious but we have to consider all forum users and, has already been stated, some things are better said around the campfire where the conversation can be taken much further ;)

Its gone very quite darn sarf girls, why cant all women be like that, pmsl:evilgrin:

[Chubbs]

Right Ladies and gents, And Mama Pee Pee !!

As its recently become customary to include an evening meal for each nights camp, does anybody fancy something like a Spag Bol and Pasta for the first nights meal and a Beef Stew and Dumplings for the second night. I can include a veggi version for both meals for the non meat eaters so we are all catered for.

I would have thought that it will cost no more than £2.50 for each meal and I will make no profit from doing this apart from the enjoyment of cooking it for you all.

If interested please say whether it will be one night or both and I will start a list.

Just read the original post for this meet and I think only one night is planned. I want to do the Friday and Saturday if anybody fancies it, so post if you just want the meal for Friday or both

[Scott]

Im in for 2 nights im up for both meals but to be a pain in the backside I have to avoid wheat but I can bring my own spag and avoid the dumplings.

Sorry

Scott

[Scott]

Oh plus I have that 15ltr military pan if we need it.

Sounds amazing! Like Scott can't eat gluten so no dumplings for me and veggie versions please! My bro would like the meat ones though - thank you ! We are both planning to stay both nights.

[Islandlady]

Hee hee! Xxx

Scott

Don't be sorry mate.

I will buy some wheat free pasta and don't worry about the pan, I'm going to bring the cast iron pan I bought last week.

[campinggirl72]

is this meet on the friday through to sunday or sat through to monday? I am confused somewhat. The 26th is the sat and you are talking about 2 days? oh and can I grab a lift off someone please Big T?????? pretty please T^

[Ferrell freddy]

If I can make this one (fingers crossed) I'd like to have a bit more of a survival skills practice.
Last time, although it was awesome to sit by the fire supping cider and carving spoons I didn't practice too many skills, except getting the fire going again whilst everyone else was still asleep!!
This will be right before I have to teach my squadron up in Scotland too so if I can come if anyone is up for practicing/learning some stuff that would be cool!

I think it would be cool to learn anything new including whittling spoons and more survival based stuff- so happy to try most things :)

[campinggirl72]

me too. I am up for anything so we can all practice different things :) can't wait :)

[Chubbs]

A great offer Steve T^

I'm always up for learning new skills.

[Big T]

Sweet, nice one Steve! I used to teach navy aircrew sea survival so would be good to brush up on land based stuff!

Lyn, due to loads of interest it will be Fri and Sat nite!

[Scott]

Oh right I will be sat/sun night anyone else staying Sunday night??

[Big T]

If I havent got any work on the Monday I'm happy to stay another nite!

[campinggirl72]

I am hoping to take monday off :) 3 days is always better than 2 :)

[campinggirl72]

A great offer Steve T^

I'm always up for learning new skills.

yes, like how to hang out washing :p

[campinggirl72]

Ladies we have a new toy to play with :) 10457
I have target cards too !!!!

[Big T]

SMK B2? Tragos?

[campinggirl72]

smk DB5 Trago's :) .22

[campinggirl72]

It's not for live animals, its for playing with target cards lol

[Big T]

Cool. Have heard good things about them, be good to have a blast with it! Tragos are pretty good on price for rifles.

[Worm]

Hi everyone. Right - it looks like Big T will be there Fri & Sat (I assume - we haven't actually talked about this yet!;)). I also assume Chris & everyone else is OK with me bringing Blue again, so me and the hound should be with you later on Friday after I've finished work & collected him. I'll see if I can wangle an early finish but not 100% hopeful on that one unfortunately.

Chubbs - I'd love to enjoy your culinary delights again on both nights - thank you.

Skills sound great - I don't really know very much at all (always left things like that to BigT) so it would be good to learn errr.... something?!

Campinggirl / IslandLady - looking forward to some proper Girl Power this time! :happy-clapping:

[Skate]

That rifle looks great. Should be more accurate than mine was :guns: :happy-clapping:

[Big T]

Have ya got it fixed yet mate?

[campinggirl72]

Cool. Have heard good things about them, be good to have a blast with it! Tragos are pretty good on price for rifles.

sure you can, the RRP is over £100 and lets just say I got it for less than half that brand new :) so if I need it sold I can get my money back on it no probs :)

[campinggirl72]

That rifle looks great. Should be more accurate than mine was :guns: :happy-clapping:

you coming on the meet matey?

[Big T]

Wow, that was a deal!

[Islandlady]

Ladies we have a new toy to play with :) 10457
I have target cards too !!!!

Wow! Bring it on! ( ummm don't actual know if I can shoot!). Xx

[Chubbs]

Big T

Are we still on for the non vegetarian spare ribs.

[Big T]

Chubbs.......hell yeah!

[Chubbs]

No probs. I will pick them up sometime next week from Bookers and look at a recipe for them, something sticky, gooey and yummy.

[Skate]

Can't make the meet as my stepson is coming back from Canada for a week and i'm on airport duty on the Saturday. Will find out on Monday if rifle is fixed! Dreading how much it will cost.

[Big T]

Ribs sound awesome mate!

Skate, hope it ain't too expensive mate. Prob a new barrel required!

[jus_young]

Ladies we have a new toy to play with :) 10457
I have target cards too !!!!

Ooh, nice. I would be interested in looking at that as I have been eyeing up the XS78 and 79's.

[Scott]

Im bringing mine I plan on getting out for a shoot plus target practice

[Big T]

Gd lad Scott! Who knows, we might actually bag something to roast over the fire! Lol!

[campinggirl72]

Scott, did all your free kit go?

[campinggirl72]

My rifle will never be used for killing anything other than targets lol

[Scott]

All the kit has now gone. It was snapped up pretty quick.

[Big T]

That's cool lyn, we know!

[jonni_uk]

I am working on the 26th but will try and get the day off. I will let you no. If I do come Chubbs I will be up for some food.

[Big T]

Ok mate, think a few might be staying the Sunday night if that's any easier for you!?

[Scott]

Im staying sunday night.

[Islandlady]

My rifle will never be used for killing anything other than targets lol

Xxx

[Big T]

Had a confirmation Email back from Chris, he would prefer it if the meet was on the Sat night and Sun night. So no go for those who were planning on going Friday night! Hope this is ok for everyone!

No probs, 2 is better than 0 nights, means we can get in early sat :)

[jus_young]

Sat and Sun it is then. I am waiting to hear when my chickens are arriving which may cause a little problem but we will see.

Wouldn't dare! The kids would never speak to me again, although I keep winding them up about 'when they get too old to lay'! :evilgrin:

[Skate]

Rifles back. All sorted. £30 all in, happy days :o

[Big T]

Wow, that was cheap mate! Was the barrel bent or just loose?

[Skate]

Bent where the moderator joined it. They managed to straighten it. Been plinking this afternoon and it's spot on again. Looking forward to bringing it down your way next time :)

[Big T]

Sweet, glad it was an easy fix mate!

[Roadkillphil]

Helllllloooooo :) think I might be able to pop along at some point... May even crash on Sunday night, I'll be with my lil gang mind... Susie, Corey, Erin, Badger n Tiff :)

[Big T]

Sweet, the more the merrier mate!

[Ferrell freddy]

Don't think I'll be making it now, one of our best mates is having a bday party on the Friday night so I'll be lucky to be driving by the afternoon on Saturday!

Really need to get out again soon though

[Big T]

We're still there on Sun night mate!

[Ferrell freddy]

Yeah but I have to be in work Monday morning! :(

[Big T]

Fair one mate! Lol!

[jus_young]

Ideal. Was going to give you a shout to see if you were about.

[Islandlady]

I am so gutted! I can't come. Two illegal tyres costing me over £300 ( mine are run fiats) so now can't afford it this month. :mad2: moderators - why are there no "sobbing my eyes out" smileys? I need one! X

No he discovered he couldn't come ( family things) the day before I discovered my tyres. Oh Lyn I am so upset can't come, but both my bro and I have pledged to do the next one. Will miss you all so much xxxx

[Big T]

I'm sure we will be out in the woods when your next down jo!

[Islandlady]

I'm sure we will be out in the woods when your next down jo!

Yay! :)

[Big T]

I been having a bit of a clearout and have a few bits and bobs that I don't really need. What do people think of a meet "swapshop"? Bring along stuff you dont want/need and swap for things you do want!?

[Skate]

Big T, please will you stop making this meet more and more interesting as I'm getting more and more cheesed off the nearer it gets. Have plenty of "swaps" and would enjoy a bit of bartering :( :)

[Big T]

I won't mention the mahoosive rack of sticky bbq ribs that chubbs is gonna knock up then........!

[Skate]

Doh!

[jus_young]

Didn't get as much done to the new chicken coop as I should have this weekend due to DofE supervisor training. With the chooks coming after next weekend things are starting to look a little doubtful for me now as well. Got to get their house finished before they arrive and time is short.

[Scott]

Starting to drop like flies so how many of us are still going???

[Chubbs]

T^

[jus_young]

I am going to do my best to be there but thought I would warn before the food is all bought in.

[Big T]

Maybe it's time to start a revised list of who's going!?

1) Big T
2) Tommy (Big T's mate)
3) Worm (Sat/night)

[Scott]

1) Big T
2) Tommy (Big T's mate)
3) Worm (Sat/night)
4) Scott (sat-mon)
5) Chubbs

[campinggirl72]

Them above plus me :) but I have work Monday at 5pm so don't know how to work around it. I will have to get 4pm train from Penryn, Any ideas?

[jonni_uk]

It doesn't look like I will make can get the time off work. Hope to make it to the next one

[Big T]

It doesn't look like I will make can get the time off work. Hope to make it to the next one

No worries mate, see ya soon!

[campinggirl72]

ok cool, will take the friday day and night off :) I should be able to go in thursday rather than the friday night :)

[jus_young]

Unfortunately I am broken and so is my van :(

Hopefully next time...

[Worm]

Wont be a prob Lyn as Chris would rather we stayed Friday and Sat night so will be returning home sometime on Sunday! I can give ya a lift!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Chris's email says NOT Friday. He would rather Saturday & Sunday. Our plans were to go Saturday daytime, I'll come home on Sunday with Blue and you're staying til Monday. At least that was the last conversation I was part of....! ;)

(CampingGirl don't want you booking the wrong day off!)

[Chubbs]

Organisation Committee meeting members please stick your names down :tongue:

[Big T]

lol! Its been a hectic week mate!

[Sar-ian]

Hey guy's abit off topic, and a while off yet, but do you fancy a road trip up 'orth, it's Northern Soul Bushcrafters Birthday Bash, January 2014 date to be confirmed, it would be great if North meets South. As I said it's a while off yet, so have a chin wagg. :jumping-joy:

[Chubbs]

Oooh, that sounds tempting.

[jus_young]

I have always intended coming up to one of your meets. Timing is the crucial bit as SWMBO's birthday is around that time.

Fetch her along, that way if you get out of hand, she can bring you back into line LOL seriously, if it's works, bring her along,T^

[campinggirl72]

The last I heard was, chris wanted Friday and sat night only from big T? I now may be a little screwed guys? Just let me know the days and I shall see if I can change again? but maybe pushing it now? :oops:

[Big T]

My mistake, its SAT night and SUN night!

[jus_young]

Van is fixed and the chickens have arrived a little earlier than expected. It's looking like I'm back on for this one!

[Big T]

Nice one jus! Not sure how many are coming now but should be ok if the weather holds off!

[jus_young]

Fetch her along, that way if you get out of hand, she can bring you back into line LOL seriously, if it's works, bring her along,T^

Can't do that! Someone has to look after the chickens ;) In all seriousness though, she doesn't travel well with the MS and the cold is not her best friend. I will keep an eye on progress and see if the timing is right, if not then there is always the next time.

[Big T]

Only a few days to go now, would be handy to have an idea of numbers!

1) Big T
2) Jus

[Scott]

I will be there

[Chubbs]

Be great to see you mate, its been a while.

Shall I blanch some chips and bring the camp chip pan !!. A few chips might go well with belly pork.

[Big T]

Sounds like a plan dude! My mate Tommy and my Mrs ain't going so looks like it's bout 6 of us!

[jus_young]

Then there is possibly Phil and kids.

What about Campinggirl?

[Ashley Cawley]

Just seen the forecast for Sunday night, news is saying "80mph - hurricane winds" I'm thinking it's probably not wise to sleep in an ancient Beech woodland on a night like that, so I think I might stop there Sat night and then camp elsewhere Sun night, or just stay out for Sat/Sun.

For those of you who don't already know; Beech is prone to dropping large limbs ("widow-makers") in times of drought or high wind, also they have relatively shallow roots compared to many trees.

[Big T]

Good advice mate, being an arborist I was kinda thinking the same thing! I'm only staying Sat night to be on the safe side! Oh, don't forget the throwing axes! Jus - Campinggirl (Lyn) is now babysitting so won't be there! I'm planning to be there mid afternoon as I have to look at a job early afternoon..

[Ashley Cawley]

.. Oh, don't forget the throwing axes!..
Good job you mentioned it as I wasn't planning on bringing them this time, but if there's interest I'll bring them :o

[Big T]

No drama if not mate, I'm sure we will find other things to entertain ourselves!

[Chubbs]

I will be using the camp bed and tarp with poles to be on the safe side.

Like Ashley said, I don't want to be a


("widow-makers")!!!!

Big T

Are you bringing any wood and do you have a bbq grate.

[Big T]

Hiya mate! I will bring any wood that I have but mot a great deal left! Negative bbq grate mate, bring your trolley and I'll bring a hacksaw! Are you bringing your tripod? Do we need the dutchy?

[jus_young]

I have a net of logs on the van. Going to see how the weather pans out before making any decisions. I have a two night pass so need to make the most of it.

[jus_young]

Windy...

The only things dropping at the moment are chestnuts and beech nuts. Munchies for later

[jus_young]

Everyone decided that risking the storm was not worth it so all back home now. Pics to come shortly but was a good chilled out overnighter. Chubbs is awesome as a camp cook, chips, marinated belly pork and curry sauce in the woods! Flippin' handsome!

Wise move.. Glad you got a good one nighter in though :0)

[Ashley Cawley]

Great night, as always we managed to turn a wet, wild & windy night into a cosy home for the evening - thanks to Chubbs large Tarp! Was nice to catchup with you all.

'ansum cooking by Chubbs aswell - I wasn't expecting a communal meal but that went down a treat.

Any photos chaps?

[Big T]

Was a wicked night! Cheers to Ash and Frankie for supplying the camp entertainment, chasing round the woods Benny Hill stlye! lol! Chubbs did it again with the food, awesome as always! Was good to catch up with Scott and Jus, good to meet Frankie. I think Scott has put some pics up on facebook Ash.

[jus_young]

Yep, despite the rain and blustery conditions, when the good folks from here get together we still manage to have a good time.

The wind initially wasn't a great problem but picked up strength when the rain came in. It also seemed to coincide with cooking dinner so a quick relocation of the camp to a slightly more sheltered position was in order. Thanks to Chubbs spare tarp and a quick raid of my van we had an impromptu shelter up in next to no time that kept the worst of the rain away for the rest of the evening.

Neils cooking was awesome. Having set up in the tree house, he got a chip pan on the go with a pot of curry sauce and got cooking with our dinner. This was accompanied with some lovely pork. I have never had chips cooked in the woods before and despite the conditions they were perfectly cooked.

The rest of the evening consisted of a few drinks and plenty of laughs as normal, with a rather unusually early bed time for all. This is when a few of us had some interesting times with the wind roaring through the woods like a jet engine, and a few tarps needing a little securing again!

The next day started out clear with the odd shower threatening. Some folks left early so Ashley, Scott and myself took a little wander through the lower wood to see how things were looking since staying there last.

Ashley decided to cut some fire wood but got a little carried away!

Then we found the old stump used for axe throwing. It has had so many axes thrown at it over the last few years, it has started sprouting them!

This poor thing really is reaching the end of its days. The wood is so soft and waterlogged now the heads of the axes just disappear

It will be a shame when it goes, as a wander around after I beat the Axe Throwing Champions :p showed how some irresponsible folk were using the mature and definitely live trees as targets for both axes and rifles. It gives me a rather unpleasant feeling inside when I see such things, but this is a commercial site and can't be watched all the time. There were a good few branches, as well as a couple of trees that had recently come down, and I suspect there will be a few more after last nights winds, but I still can't wait to get back there again. It is a lovely little wood and always has a friendly bunch of folks in there somewhere.

Until next time...

Anyone out and about this week/weekend? I have till mon 6th off and a leave pass in for a night!!

[Ferrell freddy]

Hi all! I have received an assignment order which means I have only 4 weeks ish left in Devon, if anyone fancies it I'd love to do an over nighter one weekend within that time (not the weekend of the 18th) as I'm off to watch the tigers at welford road) but it'd be awesome to meet some new people and see some friends before I go...

What is your sleep setup? I might have an idea for a little trip out if nothing else comes up. It will involve a couple of miles walk and finding a spot to pitch up that I have not visited before. Its on the South West Coast Path and I can PM a location if you are interested.

[Chubbs]

BigT and I are going to our usual spot today for an overnighter. We are both getting cabin fever and need a night under the stars in front of the fire.

The weather is still abysmal down here so no change there.

[Skate]

Looking forward to joining you two down in sunny Cornwall again sometime soon Chubbs. Let me know when your next one is planned after tonight. Have a good one.

[Ferrell freddy]

Chubbs, can't get away in the week mate sorry!

Jus, I'm flexible, can do tarp on a roll mat in a Bivibag or hammock, or could maybe borrow a small tent? Defo pm me the details, the walk just adds to the enjoyment for me!

[jus_young]

I may have just got permission on a local farm that has three small areas of woodland. Have asked for access for the Scouts which has had a preliminary YES pending a discussion on some do's and don'ts. After a chat with the farmer I wouldn't mind having an overnighter there if you are up for it Steve.

[Ferrell freddy]

Sounds good mate, as I say I'm busy this coming weekend (18th) and hoping to be fishing from your way soon too.. Saying that check your PM's....

[JonnyP]

Gonna do a meet at our place on the weekend of the 25th of this month. Will start another fred about it..

[jus_young]

Permission Failed!!! The woodland is being used for horses during the night and quad bikes during the day.

Absolutely Gutted.

[Ferrell freddy]

Gutted, anywhere decent up exmoor? Seemed a nice spot up by the hunters inn today..

[jus_young]

PM inbound...
