All joking apart, I’m happy to run the kettle, cook bacon or whatever for breakfast sandwiches etc etc. If it’s not lashing down or a howling gale, most of this I can do outside. I can bring with me enough bread, bacon, butter, sausages, red and brown sauces, milk, sugar, tea and coffee for us all, I’m sure. Just let me know the numbers, please. Bring your own plates, mugs and favourite tea spoons.

PS Toddmeister can feck off with his demands of kedgeree and devilled kidneys.

Just Don’s sausage and some Jack Daniels is all I need for a memorable weekend!

PS: It has been known for a stray ember from the campfire to burn a motorhome into nothing more that a pile of (probably well insured) ashes!

I think there was two or three other, “I’d be up for this too, chaps”?

As hook-ups are maybe in shorter supply than tent spaces, I’ll contact the site at the weekend to see if I can bag us the four, hopefully reasonably close together. Then see if we can fine tune it in say, late January or early February. If the site requires a deposit to secure the electricity, I’ll pay it but ask that the other three wedge me up for it, please.

From memory, the site is pretty much relaxed and large, so I don’t think tents will be an issue. I will though explain that we’d like the currently six tents close by the vehicles if possible.

 

[Pukmeister]

Thanks Richard, please PM me for my share of any out of pocket expenses that you incur and I’ll cough up asap.

 

[The Other PaulG]

Nice one Wapps.

Yes they are very relaxed, and in general they don’t mind where you pitch your tents. So I think once you have secured the hook ups, we can just laager the tents around that area.

I am thinking that in February it won’t be that busy

Unless the pikies have moved in, as a rest from their ‘Travellers’ lifestyle and culture, which we must all respect.

 

[Wapping]

I decided not to wait for the weekend to mail the site.

I’ve requested four hard standing electric pitches (suitable for one motorhome and three campervans) and six tent pitches.

Await their news.

 

[Wapping]

Confirmation of our reservation for Friday and Saturday nights. The site didn’t ask me for a deposit but it would be polite to let them have notice reasonably in advance of a cry-off.

Arrive: Friday 21 February

Depart: Sunday 23 February

I have booked that in for you, 4 hard standings with electric and 6 non electric tent pitches to be pitched close by.

If for any reason the fields are too wet for tents to be pitched we will get in touch with you with plenty of notice.

The cost for our electric pitches are as followed, £45 per night for 2 adults, £23 per night for one adult.

Non electric pitches are £18 per adult per night.

OK for me and the +1 to commit to attending and enduring (enjoying) the first adventure of the season?
Camping, coming on 4 wheels rather than 2 if the weather dictates.

cheers

At some point, I’d suggest around 10 February, it might be a good idea to have a simple list of who will bring what. This will maybe avoid us having 200 venison burgers and no burger buns. Or worse, 200 burger buns and no burgers.

I don’t think it needs to be a competition as to who can bring the most and guys are generally pretty generous about sharing what they have.

 

[NeilDD]

Richard,
I can stop off at Costco on the way down if necessary
