Whatever the weather I am certain I have slept out in worse.  This just isn't supposed to be that kind of trip though. :)

What are we all doing about food, fend for ourselves, group pot or takeaway's?

I am sure the weather will be better by the weekend. Not like anyone is camping is it?(Image removed from quote.)
I'll be bringing my four season bag then? :D
That or there is always the sofas in the front room.
given the weather report I might well take you up on that offer. :)

Wimp  :P

Wouldn't blame you at all to be honest :D Wonder if Jeff is still going to sleep under his tarp?  :whistle: Some website saying the nights will be warmer after Wednesday, but others don't. Glad I booked a slot indoors early  :P
No tarp, hooped bivi now :P I'm getting all excited :ahhh

We have a couple of bods with special dietary requirements me thinks  :think: There's a supermarket (well two actually) not far away, I'm up for takeaways but I know some might not be, or I don't mind doing a food run for day one till we decide what we want to do thereafter. So long as we don't take the proverbial with Mark's amenities, I'm happy to go with the flow.

I vote figure it out when we get there  :P

In fact ....

Farmman has copped for hosting costs, and the rest of you are getting a good kicking on petrol (particularly the Scottish contingent), while I've got off real easy.  :-[ I don't mind getting a load of grub in or stocking up on libations or whatever. I suppose what I'm saying is I'd like to contribute something to share the burden as it were.

Or if we all want to go out for a bite to eat together one night ... it's my shout  :tu:

How about laying in enough tea, coffee and sugar for the weekend?  You could keep a lot of people very happy that way and would save everyone bringing their own. :)

Hi all sorry not really been on top of this, bad week last week. However here now. Al yes of you can get tea, coffee that will help.
What will also help, would you all confirm the days you are coming and if possible give me a rough idea of time? That way I can make sure I am around and you are not sat outside. Food I really suggest taking a day at a time. Really just ensuring we have enough for that day and the next morning. I guess people will be going out to restock personal supplies (beer tobacco) most days. This will allow us to grab what fits best to the day. We may even decide to BBQ if we can keep the charcoal dry enough to cook.
Gareth sleeping in the front room is ok. People don't have to go in there as the kitchen and dining room are seperate.

Sorry to hear you've had a rough week pal  :-\ I'll grab the basics then (de-caf and standard) and taking the rest as it comes makes sense :salute: I'll be around whenever I need to be this weekend mate. I'll prob give you a call Thursday evening or Friday morning  :tu:

If we are going to try and have a BBQ at some point, I'll make a phone call to see if it's possible to get some GOODIES in :D :D :D

I have parking for 3 cars, my plan is to talk to the pub at the end of the road (mount pleasant, on darbyshire lane). They have a car park. Will call in and see them on Thursday.  I think the worded that will happen is we will have to find two more spaces, which is not impossible.

OK, I feel even now   :whistle:

I'm going to take tomorrow off work and nip over to Lincolnshire to grab one of those gourmet BBQ packs ... and if one of the ostriches manages to squeeze one out today, we'll have a rather novel Easter egg too  :D :D :D

Last time I got one it fed about 8 people  :tu:

On a rather worrying side note ... my parcels I'm expecting today haven't landed yet  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
