[Andrew Prince]

You guys enjoy the but I'll BYO this cos I'm veggie!

Not to worry, you'll be converted on Sunday

 

[SimonD]

No chance SWMBO is coming

 

[Andrew Prince]

No luck huh

 

[TonyP]

I'll bring 3 packs of boerewors (approx. 0.5kg each) - is that enough? And some rolls, sauces etc.

Crispin and Tony - I take it you'll supply something to cook on (skottle)?

Yup will bring the skottle along..... Was it breakfast or lunch cookup..... or both

 

[Paul]

Veggie????? Sorry, dont understand

 

[Chas]

Veggie????? Sorry, dont understand

Just take along a few kilo's of sprouts and he'll be right

 

[Gav Peter]

few kilo's of sprouts

Aparently that is one thing that could be in very short supply cos of this cold weather... Its so cold, they are freezing solid & can't be harvested!!!

 

[Crispin]

The day the cows freeze solid I'll panic. While there are still steaks, I'm happy.
That green stuff, aka rabbit food, can freeze. Don't mind

 

[Gav Peter]

Yah!!!

 

[Ecky Thump]

What are the plains like at the moment? Much water/mud about?

 

[Paul]

You never quite know with the plain, it will be very cold, i'm sure of that and the only concern may be layers of ice on the big puddles but these will be sign posted by a broken down land rover

Seriously though, the route for the newbies wont be too bad and there are places to get around if needed. The second route i had in mind is a little more challenging but thats more from a layer of mud and ruts rather than anything extreme.

 

[Crispin]

Kiwi hill is a must BTW. Nice bits to play up there.

 

[Paul]

Ah yes, can someone send the location so i can mark it on the map please?

Also, was there a dispute if it is on a right of way?

 

[Crispin]

I'll find it on my satnav and send. It's at the large shooting range, I forget the "town" name. Think Tommo knows it.

Kiwi hill is fine. When I spoke to the wardens a while about about it they said it's all good. On the way up and the tracks along the top. "Nothing off the obvious main tracks"

edit:
Bulford Barracks is the area, it's off the main road. Will find the address later.

I remember a certain 120 sliding all over on wet grass at the top of Kiwi Hill
Now, who was that I wonder

Never heard about that Pray tell Mr Thump

 

[Crispin]

I remember that. Was the new guy from the other forum. Not seen him since.
