R4nger5 Meet!

phot0050We’re back from the r4nger5 meet!

The weather was atrocious, but we had a great turnout, and people had a lot of fun (in spite of, rather than beacause of the weather) we had good conversation, adventures and even found a new site (on government land) for wild camping.

So thanks to Jonathan, Kevin, Chipko, Exile, APIPA, Gedonia and Sloe for coming along, and, if they ever read this, J and D for being excellent and interesting guests (and for the numerous cups of coffee over several cold mornings).

We sat round campfires, chatted, made things, built stuff, ran around in the woods , went for cooked breakfasts at a nearby cafe etc – all in all a good time was had. Hopefully it will be even better in the warmer months, as we experienced rain, wind, sleet, snow and frost (as well as a sprinkling of sunshine) over the four days.

Hopefully everyone will come again and more people will come to the next one.

If anyone has a good idea for a site for a meet up, please let us know – ideally, there should be woods and campfires should be allowed.

    I enjoyed the camp despite the shite weather.
    It was great to meet new people.

    That photo was clearly taken on the Wednesday then. It was a mud-bath by Saturday!

    There is a campsite called the Pennine camp and caravan site – in Hebden Bridge. It’s only £4 per night for people in tents, great facilities, a wood nearby and you can have fires (in the appropriate style pits) There’s a train station at Hebden so that makes it easy for people using public transport.
