Starting the ball rolling - as discussed on another thread!

Anyone else further away than me can sort out dates and will do my best to join you.  

I am pretty flexible as to times at the moment as long as after whitsun weekend.

I'm in Plymouth so am up for this if I'm around. My preference would be a wild camp somewhere as opposed to a site.

I could be up for that Mole - pretty hectic till the start of June and then have a couple of things planned but I'll try and fit in.

Nice one Kelvin and Wurz

Past meets, if a weekend e.g. some folk have met at campsites on a friday night, socialised then walked/wildcamped saturday and walked sunday

... One I went on, some met up saturday morn first and walked and some of us just arrived at the wildcamp site* at dusk!

(*location of which was passed around via PM)  Personally just backpacking/wildcamping suits me ...

Yep. There's a bunch of northerners who'd be up for that - we missed out on a trip to Dartmoor last year. Please pick a date in June. Would love a wild camp, but it's a challenge to get down in decent time on a Friday evening, so would need to be fairly accessible

I threw up on Fri nite, Tim was a mess on Saturday... a better shift this time. Unless there's a rave in a woods nearby

Weekends in July apart from the first one are good for me due to rowing commitments.

Was planning to go sometime in July with the GF arriving on a Saturday morning (at Ivybridge, easy train links), walking for 10-15 miles, wild camp on Saturday night) then walking for 10-15 miles on Sunday then train back from Ivybridge. Would probably do a circuit of some kind south of the B3212.

If I'm around, I'd love to come along. My preference is wild camping.

Mole.If you're coming through, near Exeter, maybe we could meet and split petrol costs. I don't have my own transport. I'm also generally around at the moment if you head up for a hike or overnighter and fancy some company.

Cheers.

I will have a family holiday in Devon during the school holidays (ie last week of July onwards). That said with enough notice I am still up for a wild-camp in June if that was the consensus.

You interest me strangely -

I'd do a wildie if at all poss. I've heard *cough* of a few sites

Have been lurking for a while, but it's probably time to come out! I am based in Cornwall and would be up for this depending on what is going on with work and family. I like the idea of giving a Grid Refence for a wild campsite, then people can walk as far or as little as they want, depending on the time they have available.

I'm one of the Northerners Milly mentioned.... count me in
28/03/2012 at 21:59
I'm intrigued by Dartmoor so another potential northerner (no car so only if there is a space going).
28/03/2012 at 22:08
We'll drag you along, MS. Bring earplugs
28/03/2012 at 22:11
Your t(h)reat is duly noted 
28/03/2012 at 22:21

Planning to head to the Switzerland  for week at End of June, but would definitely be interested in going back to my old haunts if it doesnt clash

How about renting Nuns Cross  - not sure what condition it is inside though

We might bump into each other Chewie (in Switz...)...
