Well fingers crossed, the weather forecast is the same as this weekend, around 24 degrees  :drink:

Breezy with sunny spells, not too hot and a slight chance of rain.  Sounds pretty good. :tu:

So who's bringing what?

I'm bringing a Scotsman  :D

What did you mean Chris? Booze, food, tools, tent? Yes to all of those  :P

I suppose I should be asking what do I NEED to bring (other than Gareth)?

Chris Caine survival tool (for Condor comparison)
Brass rod for Sparky Bloke
Original Switchplier
 :think:
Any other requests?

And no mankini?  Phew.

I meant tools - I couldn't care less what you eat or drink or where you sleep, as long as you don't pinch any of mine ;) - but I wondered what shiny things people were bringing.

There seems little point in me bringing ALL my SAKs (you know what a Climber is, right?) but I though I'd bung some of the mods and some nice alox in the bag, as well as the Switch Plier 2 and some hacked LMs.  Will bring along my Enzo PK70 and Eden 106 (to compare to Kirky's SRM710), and a very nice bike light too.

And has anyone got a Spyderco Pingo?  Would love to try one out (or any other Spyderco, for that matter) if someone is bringing one along.

Yeah, I wouldn't bring really common stuff like a standard Climber (unless someone asks to see one), but mods, uncommon colours, torches or anything else you think folks might be interested in really. :)

I'll be bringing the Whiskey, as well as my rather nice Syph007 custom Troubleshooter, which people won't have seen before.
Plus a fair number of torches.

I have a Spyderco Phoenix to bring along.

What time are we allowed on site, on the Friday?
Pictures of most of my work can be found on my Facebook Page.
Also have a look at my Shapeways Shop and SW Torch Shop for 3D printed items.

I can bring my Spydie Persistance and Dragonfly.

Al wanted to see my Higonokami,si I'll bring that,and hopefully a second one that I've got on its way. SRM710 to compare to Chris's one.

Are we shooting again this year? Think I can bring a couple of pistols :think:

Gareth,any chance you could bring that RR fixed blade?

I think we are.  If so then I'll pack my new pistol as well if you want to have a look. :)

Without looking back through the thread I think Smashie said he was going to bring paper targets and a pellet catcher.

I'm sure someone said they had a catcher.  :think:  I'll try and bring that wooden board again, but I've got to be able to fit it in the back of Al's car this time.

Some of the US and Canadian members have managed it in the past.  I admit it's never going to be as easy as it is here though. :)

Way too spread out in Canada, and very expensive to fly. :(

You don't need a map to see how dense we are  :D

It's not so easy to get about here though, I've driven 500 miles today to North Wales and back and that took me 11 hours!
