Middlewood BCUK Meet

The other weekend was a meet up for BCUK members and friends at Middlewood Scout camp.

I couldn’t get down for the whole weekend but managed to drag my lazy arse down for Saturday and stayed overnight.

Another trip out for my Nanok tent, which I’ve since learned is a clone of the Terra Nova Quasar mountain tent. Given that these go for an rrp of £430, this makes the ones I’m selling quite a snip at £150! Major differences are that the Nanok poles aren’t colour coded and the hydrostatic head of the fly is 5000 thingummies.

Back to the meetup, Bernie Garland of Berax UK was there manning the pig roast. Not only that he donated one of his great Bushcraft knives and a one of his new folding knives to the raffle which was in aid of Help 4 Heroes, an amazingly generous donation. Well done Bernie!

I chucked in a Tiso Peak 3 bag , a Petzl e+Lite and a set of Tatonka alcohol burner, stand and simmer ring.

Mad Dave was the big winner of the bushcraft knife; and Wanderingstar took home the folder. Jammy beggars!

Mad Dave shows how he is head and shoulders above me.

Finally, Wayland is rather taken with the 38cm glowlight.
The force is strong!
