Uk Easter meet in sheffield anyone?

[AimlessWanderer]

Ok this is the wood I have. Really depends how big a fire you want and for how long. We can dig a fire pit (I have permission) or go with the incinerator and or chimenea.  I have not been to a meet before so i am unsure what to expect.

  I'm a little unsure what you're expecting too 

Camp fire for four days, beer, food, friends, sharp things, giggles  Looks like there's plenty of twiggy stuff there ... I reckon I ought to give the kelly kettle another outing   

[Farmman]

Rofl: yes the thin stuff is the brash from the stuff cut down for my retaining fence work.  I suppose should anyone have some wood then I don't think there is such a thing as too much.  I am trying to source some larger stuff to keep tony and you happy.

[AimlessWanderer]

Good man 

Brash is perfect for kelly kettle mate. It'll save you a fortune on boiling the kettle for 8 for four days

I really love your little aluminum friend Al

I really love your little aluminum friend Al 

  I was ogling the stainless 10 pint (6 litre) version last night ... but £70 is out of my reach at the minute ... far too much other stuff coming in time for the meet to afford it

I can bring my little Ikea bush stove thingy if anyone wants to try it out (probably worth £7    )

[nuphoria]

This is all far too easy what with a kitchen

So, just bumping this up to say that I'm getting quite excited about it all now and are you all bring potential trade fodder? I've got a few small bits like sheaths etc, and one or two more pricy items. Hoping you will be doing the same

Always up for avoiding ebay fees and postage costs

[Sparky415]

Excitement is mounting here as well 

Hot an cold running water  (I am such a girl  )

Yes please Nuphoria
I was wondering if anyone wanted some electrical fittings like 'down lights', there's a watch I got from someone on here and all the rubbish I couldn't shift last year other small trades 

[Farmman]

If it is too easy then of cause you don't have to use these things. :-)
I hope everyone had now received my address? If not shout up.
Someone was asking how close to the Peak District the house is. Below picture was taken from my attic window and probably answers the question the best.
Looking forward to a good four days.

[nuphoria]

Ooh, that's nice and close.... lovely. If my legs aren't working very well, at least I can still see it

Let's hope the forecast picks back up again too as apparently it might snow in the next few days!

[AimlessWanderer]

snow? Mark, we need a bigger fire. Did your good lady put a restriction on the fire pit or shall I try and borrow a 360 tracked digger? seriously though, I can get extra wood, but transpporting it is tricky for me at the mo. If anyone has car space over the weekend and doesn't mind a little trip out, I can get more in. Really looking forward to some chill time with you lot. Bugger all to trade, but looking forward to sharing beers and giggles

[Neil]

Well let's hope for non-wet weather and petrol in the pumps

Anyone want a wood grenade?  Too heavy really to be worth selling due to the postage so if you'd have a use for it just ask.

Happy to help get more wood in my little tardis I'm rather excited will have stuff to trade and looking forward to meeting you all

[nuphoria]

Neil, there's a chance that HK might take that wood grenade off you

[Sparky415]

 

Not long now 

[Neil]

[badwolf]

[Sparky415]

He's sold it but were gonna drive all the way to Sheffield to save on postage, its a plan

[Farmman]

I am sure the weather will be better by the weekend. Not like anyone is camping is it?

That or there is always the sofas in the front room.

[Farmman]

A friend has just brought some things around for the show and tell. The bayonet is first world war German. Bit rusty (Tony will like that).

[AimlessWanderer]

Full of lurgy ... again  and CRAZY busy at work, so can't go and pick up my order from the Staniforths / Scorpion Knives 

Spoke to them earlier though, and they're going to get it sent to me at work tomorrow

Wimp 

Wouldn't blame you at all to be honest Wonder if Jeff is still going to sleep under his tarp?  Some website saying the nights will be warmer after Wednesday, but others don't. Glad I booked a slot indoors early

I am more than happy to pick them up for you Mate 

[AimlessWanderer]

Funnily enough, Mark made the same offer yesterday evening  The package will be in hand tomorrow as will the final item I wanted to get hold of to try alongside it ... something I've considered trying a few times and finally taken the plunge. There'll be quite a few things to compare and play with come Friday ... a mix of traditional, modern, and just plain weird ... and that's just the guys using them
