Kid friendly mid winter camp? EOI?

[felixx]

So I am thinking of a mid winter kid friendly camp early july.

Somewhere within an hour of town

Could involve my sisters farm at hawarden

or a camp fire friendly site

 

Who is keen? Kids not compulsory but a kid friendly attitude is.

Yip, sitting round a camp fire with a few brews sounds like a good idea, chance of bunnies to shoot for supper would be nice too

[Mof]

Expressing interest

Might even make an effort to turn up

I would also be interested if it was not so far away!

[Chris.QCR]

Yup very keen !

[Chris.QCR]

Will bring kid too

[- i5oogt -]

keen

[felixx]

Cool..

Feel free to post ideas of a location.

Mof, I am kinda leaning towards your old mates place if the farm falls thru. (Unsure about fires)

 

Other options include Hawdon Shelter

or Lake Pearson

or okuti valley, but Chris you have already been there with your family so thinking somewhere new

[Chris.QCR]

Yeah Hawdon Shelter is ideal and yeah Okuti Valley is perfect with plenty of stuff for kids to do. Anywhere with a playground for the kids is ideal really. Gutted i missed the last one but will make sure im at the next

There is a campfire spot, flushing toilet, now a sandpit in a tractor tyre, and a flying fox.

The last 20-30m of the track in is not super low car friendly though (dirt track).

I'm probably over imagining how much though.

I can ring him for you if you like when we sort out date etc

Im doing a Daddy Camp with another group of mates this weekend at Kidson Lodge, near the Hawdon Shelter this weekend.

I will post pics of this location.

20m is not far to carry stuff

 

Campfire plus damper, marshmallows, potatoes in embers, rabbit stew bubbling in a camp oven hanging over the charcoal on a tripod, port for the dads, I think this is ideal.

^see edit.

That's my kind of camping, can't stand campgrounds.

[felixx]

What do you reckon fri 8 sat 9 July?

[Mof]

Why not sat night?

Not setting up after work/in the dark

[felixx]

ideal, one night gets the thumbs up from Mrs Felixx

[h4nd]

Also keen, had a very relaxing last camp.

I just got the ingredients for this weekends epic stew:

Chamois

Tahr

Venison

rabbit

hare

Wild pork bacon

tomatoes from my garden

dried beans from my garden

garlic from my garden

I hope we see some mushrooms in a paddock too

I will use some of my mates homebrew stout in there too

 

 

I might make damper too
