Think its time to start looking forward to our first winter camp. No dates in mind yet but would like to give plenty
of notice so all can get a chance to attend(work/family/other commitments).
What do you think?
bump*
I fancy another weekend in Donard Wood with a roaring fire! Count me in. (But no suprises this time!) Plus I'd like to give the hammock another go.
We should have our Stove-Off and compare our cooking appliances.
(But no suprises this time!)
oh jonno where is the fun in that. But I do think another campfire is needed! So I take it your in.

That said, we should probably try and squeeze one in through October.
Where is Donard wood ?
I see if im good, let me know the date.

whats the point in havin a tent in a forest? you get shelter from the trees and warmth from the fire.
Im a newbe as they say, so i need to be kept right on all this, but now i need to buy a bivvy. ;D
Soon ill have my own mountain in gear like all you, :D
i wouldn't recomend you run out and buy a bivvy mate, its def an "aquired taste" as im sure most on here will confirm! Bivies are a whole other world of camping, prob best if you just get used to a tent etc 1st!
Cheers chris, thats sound avice.

When its good its great but when its bad..............oh boy
Now that I pay attention, the 7-8 Nov would be a prob for me. Could do any other weekend including the ones before and after though.
