Aye, as Matt says it's not a group OK!  Just hope there isn't a Trail LFTO meet on the same weekend like the last time we were when there when a group of probably 25 marching in a line up Bowfell!  Mind you the wild camp might turn out like that at this rate!

Im a definate and so is a mrs diddy <wildcamp sat night>

Assuming I'm at home... or even in the country... I intend checking the weather forecast on the Friday morning before making a commitment.

By the way, how many people can you fit on a wild camp before it stops being 'wild'? I'm just thinking of those tent cities that you get at Styhead Tarn, which aren't my idea of wild camping!

Indeed Paddy!  I'm not wild camping so nowt to do with me really but I guess it might be sensible for folk to split into smaller groups.  I'm sure folk can sort things out on the Friday evening in the ODG.

I'm assuming folk are camping at the NT site on the Friday evening then wild camping on Saturday evening after a long walk!  However if anyone wants to wild camp after a night in the ODG on their head be it!

Oh well... count me out then. The idea of a night in the ODG and a night on the NT campsite doesn't appeal at all.

Mind you... nowt to stop me heading for the hills for a wild camp any time I like!

No problem Paddy.  To be honest the wild camping is a relatively new thing for OM meets.  Previously they have tended to be campsite based and that is the intention with this one albeit a few folk have indicated that they are likely to wild camp on the Saturday.

the first Vindy [sic] meet was less than two years ago, which in OM terms is still relatively new.

Aye but the Windy wild camp meets are a relatively new thing, I'm talking about pre-Windy days ie pre 2007!  There were regular campsite based OM meets every few months back then.

Thanks Glyn!  Good to see a potentially good turnout again, after the recent Glencoe meet.  The more the merrier and as has been stated before it's really a case of doing whatever folk want to with the opportunity of a bit of a social get together in the evening(s).

Hi all, I was planning a solo trip to Wasdale for these dates (my useual walking partner has bailed due to the cold weather) would it be ok if I joined you instead?

I've only got 1 wild camp under my belt so far and would love to pick up some tips from more experienced members.

Also if anybody needs a lift from the Bath area give me a shout.

No they're not. We used to do it quite a bit back in 2002. Before your time?
