"Lancashire Potato Hash"- Spuds, Carrots, Mince, onion all bunged into a pot with some oxo/stock 😋😋😋😋 Easy meal, can be frozen and reheated, it's funny because a neighbour made a Hot Pot pie for mi Nan n grandad yesterday, went down well with Buttered Crusty bread n Beetroot slices . elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good to me, it's getting towards that time of year when you want something nice and hearty, might have to have a go at making it. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 @elmoputney any idea on swim size mate ? I'm leaning towards the 1 man bivvy over the 2 man .... just incase 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalej2014 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'd go one man to be safe. Are we doing a draw for pegs or just work it out when we get there? With 9 acres, and only five of us, we'll be spoilt for choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which one to bring either though 😳 I'm waiting to see what the weather holds in store for us, feels a little autumnal tonight which is nice, I'm feeling giving them some bait at the moment 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I've only got a 2 man. So, hopefully they're not too small. A draw would seem the fairest way, but happy to go with whatever. Hopefully a few days of this type of weather will get them feeding🤞 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'll go 1 man I reckon with not knowing where I might end up , be silly for the bivvy to hinder my swim choice . @dalej2014 drawing for swim choice is the normal way of things . Numbers 1-5 number 1 gets first pick 5 last . I'm always last with lads i regularly go with its gone beyond a joke 🙈 dalej2014, commonly, elmoputney and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old mk2 armo 2 man had a far smaller foot print than the new avid . The Avid isn't a patch on it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 It's a JRC STI. its not that big. But this place sounds rough n ready. I'll bring a saw I do need a bigger one for my Belgium trip next year. My 11 year old son wants to cone. It's a squeeze with 2 beds in.

commonly Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Sorry to hear that pal. Bivvies are silly money now. I got my JRC 10 years ago £200 with rain/winter skin and ground sheet. It seems you need to spend 5 times that for anything half decent. I may go second hand, but there's not a lot of choice for around £4-500. The weather forecast looks OK now on my app. Bit of rain Friday afternoon and Sunday night.

elmoputney Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I don't think the swims will be that small tbh, the pictures I've seen look pretty spacious, I wouldn't worry too much, My only concern is if I need a front or not, I'm thinking axs shelter at the moment, with new hilux groundsheet 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
