The weather looks a bit dubious for canoeing so we're going to postpone the Family Fun Day until closer to the summer. Instead we're going to hit Annalong Wood for some family friendly craic around the campfire.
The leg'o'lamb evening was a spectacular success so we're going to have a Bushcraft BBQ. A couple of legs of lamb slow cooked over the fire along with whatever meat products (or alternative) everyone desires. Obviously anyone who wants can cook their own grub, there'll not be any forced participation :)
NI-Wild will be providing the meat and we'll do some communal cooking so everyone should only need to bring whatever they want to eat alongside or anything not on the communal list. Post suggestions below as to what food you think would be good and if you have any interesting (or cheap!) food sources.It could turn out to be quite a weight of food so some help getting it all up there would be useful.
We'll aim to get down there quite early and have food cooked at a reasonable hour so people who want to come but can't stay over can have enough time to get back down to their cars.
UpdateWe've not really heard what people might like to eat so we'll bring a leg of lamb plus handful of burgers, sausages
and baps along with a grill, anyone with any other suggestions feel free to post. If anyone wants to being some spare food to throw on the grill fire away. We're aiming to be at Carrick Plant Hire Car Park at around 1ish, anyone that wants to meet us there post below, other than that everyone can meet at the campsite at their leisure.

Yeah count me in, although wont be up until late evening.
Count me if for this one... I'll have two of the kids with me so I'll probably be arriving around 3ish
I will be attending this one for sure.
I'll be attending this 'meat' up as well.
Have to see how I am fixed for work etc, stick me down as a possible though!
Have a good one guys. I'll unfortunately be enduring mid-twenty degree temperatures in sunny spain. But don't worry about me, I'm a fighter.
Hehe, Enjoy! I'll be at the next one.
I've fleshed out a few further details in the opening post.
Put me down as a possible. I will know near the time if im able to go.
Would love to try and get to this but probably not know if its a yea or nay until the very last minute will have to see how the easter week pans out :-\ :-\ :-\
hello, I can be removed from the list, turns out I can't make it after all.
No worries, catch you next time.

Sorry guys another cry off. Had really hoped to make this but its not going to happen, will make one of these bigger do's yet. Hope you all have a great night enjoy.

The weather looks great for the weekend. Cloudy with sunny spells and dry. Looks like winter is finally over, it's time to try and enjoy the forests before the midges reappear :)
At the minute we're aiming to be at Carrick Plant Hire Car Park for 1230ish, at camp by 1pm.

seeing dowser with a festival tent is like that bit in quadrophenia when sting is a bell boy ::)
That was another excellent camp, fantastic weather and great craic all day, cheers to all. ;D
Camp was pure win.
Heading out for a quick run now to burn off all that cholesterol.
Gotta say, envious of the bullseye bivviers after hearing the stories round the fire.
Two questions
When's the next bullseye bivvy?
Can some similarly evil weather be arranged?
I'm still grinning about what a great night I had in my festival tent. I was only meant to be walking up for a few hours with the kids but seeing the awesome weather forecast I stopped off at Argos for a tent in Downpatrick and phoned Landyliam to scrounge three sleeping bags and a bottle of scotch :P
Here's a few photos of the event:

Lol, only you could come up with that one Liam ;D
That was a brilliant camp guys, we'd a ball. This is what we should be doing more often, bit of fire cooking and plenty of fun times for the kids (thanks to Dowser and his bout of bow and arrow making!). After Ed & Rustys success with spit roasted chicken I say we give that another turn next time. It wasn't terribly successful last time out but we've all learned a lot since then :D
