It's now just over a month till the event so i thought we ought to "reignite" interest and finalise anything outstanding like the possible friday start.

Anyway as an insentive to any straglers i think we should show off some of the stuff that will be available for inticate study to all at the meet.
I plan to bring along amongst other things my nepalese kukri collection:







As well as all sorts of knives, multitools and lights.

Still no idea if I can make it yet. I might end up just nipping down for the day if work gets in the way of me stopping over. To be honest, I won't know until a couple of days before whether I'll be coming out to play or if I'll be able to stop over ::)

I think the "bucket-o-axes" should keep us occupied for a fair while.

Is archery out of the question? i'll bring my bow if i'm allowed.

The more multitool members i get to meet the better so if you can make it down, even if only for half an hour, it's a good thing.

Getting close.  I guess I best make sure there's some petrol in the car :)

Not sure what to bring this time :think: 

I am up to two nice hatchets right now which as you know is against my rules so I'll bring that along for swaps.  If anyone needs scrap SAK parts to play at modding now is the time to shout and I'll bring some along. 

I normally let everyone else take pictures but we need some new closeups for the reviews section so I think I'll bring the camera and tripod this time.  SO please make sure your MTs are at their most photogenic :D
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I've not bothered getting all my camping gear together with all the chaos this end, but I'm still going to try and pop down for the day. Likewise I don't fancy dragging everything I own down there this time, so if anyone has anything in particular of mine they want to play with let me know  :tu:

Pitty you won't have your new tool with you. I am quite sure if you open all of the tools out there will be room for you to sleep in there.

Very likely I'll just throw whatever I can find in the back of my car (why change my habits now?), but if there is anything particular folks want to see I'll make sure it comes down.

I was waiting on more info about stuff going on next week, and we just won't be able to squeeze it in. I'm fairly miffed as I always look forward to our get togethers, but hopefully you will all cope without us!
