On Saturday 24th August, I will cook a beef stew as big as my pot will hold.

Here's the shopping list - feel free to put your name down for something...

[*] 10kg charcoal briquettes
[*] 2kg potatoes
[*] 2kg carrots
[*] 1kg onions
[*] a few leeks
[*] 2kg stewing beef/venison/yak
[*] 1 bottle red wine
[*] whole garlic, whole peppercorns, bay leaves, salt, bouqet garni teabag
[*] 2x small ready-mix wholegrain bread mix
[*] (Matt) veg oil
[*] (Matt) stuff to cook it in

You will get fat if you eat all that
Perhaps you should share it

We can provide the red wine

Ps I want to see this Dutch oven from the start

Nice one! Thanks, folks!

If there's any left, I might let you try it!

C'mon you lot your not gonna let matt buy ought?

We will get the meat. I might find Buffalo..............

I will have to sit this one out again. My Arab pal from my college days is now on holiday with us together with his wife & youngest daughter. I was hoping to get away alone with him for a weekend to live it up a bit like in the old days but the stroke he had a few years back is more sever than I thought. He needs a level surface to walk on and a wheelchair would not be much use at Red Squirrel.

I will also need a pitch where my new 2WD motorhome will not get bogged down again that is not a million miles away from where you lot are pitched.

Bummer!

Oooh, yum - Chrissy! I'd be happy to contribute to the cost of meat.

Sorry we won't see you there this time, Tony.

Sounds good, even though I wouldn't be able to have any, however, it looks like we won't manage this meet as my daughter is moving house around about then

Hope you all enjoy it though.

Hi Matt

If there are no other takers we can bring the seasonings ( garlic, bay leaves, salt etc) as well as the vino.

Looking forward to having a taste.

If anybody from aberdeenshires attending could they bring some butteries for moi to purchase please
Thank you in advance

Is there any reason why there's no ehu points at the red site? Just a member had mentioned this,curious

I think it is because they like to keep things fairly simple. Kind of wild camping with toilets and showers. Plus a lot of the people who use it are one nighters, climbers/hillwalkers/student clubs etc. But we are usually the rowdy ones!

Was wondering if I should bring a generator.could power up jims box
Hope he's taking it
