Great stuff guys, this looks like it will be a good one. We should do some group based stuff, maybe chcken on a spit or a strung leg of lamb? Any suggestions?

So what's the time and dates for this?

I'll need to check the schedule as the misus may already have plans for us.

It's that time of the year when you don't want to cross a woman... can be a real WITCH!!!!

HAHAHA...  ;D

It's the 26/27th Oct @ Annalong Woods. If anyone needs any specific location information or similar just PM me.

Is anyone aiming to arrive early? Since there will be a large group i'm thinking of turning up early and bringing a bow saw to get a good wood stack cut if anyone wants to join me?

I'll probably aim to be there early afternoon. Although when someone's offering to gather wood I like to plan to be there just right after they've finished ;) :)

Ah mate  :'(
The one time something good is happening and I'm doing something that weekend. Well when I say I am... I really mean the missus has but I'm being strung along.

Looks like I'm gonna miss out!  :'(
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

Hi All, interested in attending although I'm not familiar with the area. maybe need some additional info as to where exactly and times, any additional requirements???
thanks Simon

There's a detailed description on how to get there here:
http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/routes-and-camping-spots/annalong-wood-campsite/

Not sure what time, people usually drift up at all different times, I'll probably be aiming for after lunch-ish.

Don't let the clearing where I've put a blue "X" fool you as your coming up the path.  It's easy to think that the forest has ended and that you've gone too far.  The clearing is made up of dead, charred trees.  Keep on going past it and you will come across healthy forest again and that is where the campsite is located.

I'll bring the rope and the jam.
Alan can you bring the ants?

medaspud

rope, ants and jam, sounds like a a fun night....

RedLeader

Just yourself and whatever gear you need to be safe, comfortable and self sufficient for the night, bearing in mind it's October and has the potential to be cold and wet (although it fingers crossed it'll be mild and dry!). If you want to throw in something Halloween themed as a decoration, food or costume then fire away but it's by no means mandatory.

If anyone has any specific fun ideas post here or PM me.

Anyone who's got a tarp and a few pieces of paracord throw them in your pack: I'm bringing a few an might make a camp a bit more fun in the event it starts raining.... Plus there's loads of mileage out of showing and being shown different tarp set ups: it's the Lego of the outdoors!
If you're thinking... "wait this might be a bit dangerous".... you're probably on the way to a good adventure!

I'll be bringing my 3x3 DD tarp just for tent use anyway, but I might have an old pve groundsheet tarp still about. If I can find it then i'll bring it with me and a rol of cord if you wanted to just makeup a roofed area or such.

What's everyone planning for food at the weekend? I can't decide what to bring. Am a bit sick of the usual stuff, steak etc.
