UK Meet 2014 Dates

Been shopping for food and beer today. What started off as a trip for pot noodles, pepperami and cous cous ended up with me getting myself waffles, gammon steaks and mussels too

.... remembered to throw the ice packs for the coolbox in the freezer when I got back as well

Garden lighting is all stripped down ready to pack, and gas carts are on hand. Also sorted out the camping stoves and gas/meths/pine cones for fuel, and dug the tents out of the shed. Been to see Farmman (flying visit) this evening and grabbed the big tent for daytime deluges.

No knives, tools, axes, clothes, bedding or toiletries packed yet

although I have been and fetched my splitting maul and wood grenade, so at least we have the heavy duty log botherers to hand. I'll chuck a few knives and tools in a box (most people have seen all my gear anyway), and then need to pick up a few more bits from the boatyard tomorrow. There's a big log down there which needs to meet Tony's bucket of tormentors.

Tom - big magnet - talk to me! I have a sea searcher magnet down at the boat for fishing stuff out of the canal. That good enough, or is it overkill? Gimme an idea what you're after and why mate

Magnet is probably to pick up the nails from the pallets.

You guys are so funny with your lists and getting ready.

I thought it might be for nail hunting, but wanted to be sure in case he had a cunning plan he wasn't divulging

The lists are the build up to the bigger gag, when someone completely ignores their own lists and preparation and turns up .... i don't know .... tentless, like someone did last year

Tom,
I have added a spare chair if you/anyone needs one

That would be perfect

Spot on.

It might well be that it doesn't matter, but I'd feel like a bit of a dick if I didn't at least try.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #186 on:** August 08, 2014, 12:27:11 AM

I'll try to dig that out tomorrow when I go over

Taxi Dad · **Reply #187 on:** August 08, 2014, 10:13:13 AM

I will be setting out for Kirks pad in under an hour come hell or high water (both real possibilities by the looks of that sky

WE ARE HARDCORE 'BRITS' AND NOT AFRAID OF SUMMER DOWNPOURS

Hang on, it's raining down there? Lovely and sunny up here, I might just stay.

OK, I think I'm all packed and ready to head off any time now. See you later gents.

Smashie · **Reply #193 on:** August 08, 2014, 10:52:03 AM

It's not raining here.

AimlessWanderer · **Reply #194 on:** August 08, 2014, 10:53:56 AM

Nope, not raining here either. Maybe I ought to start thinking about packing soon ..... or maybe I'll just have another coffee first

Either way, I'll see you chaps later

Cupboard · **Reply #197 on:** August 08, 2014, 02:46:21 PM

I'm now home from work, just got to get a few more bits together and I'll be off.

I should be there before 6.

Very posh, don't hang around there!

I'm now stuck in a traffic jam that hasn't moved for ten minutes

Cupboard · **Reply #201 on:** August 08, 2014, 07:26:36 PM

It would genuinely have been quicker to walk over the last hour... I've moved about 2 miles

Geez, if I brought a rifle anywhere NEAR a soccer field around here, let alone shoot on one.....

That's Gareth in the maroon shirt I believe. The others?

Random Brits I suppose.

I wish I could have made it this time, definately next year though.
Bad sign up here in the north east part of England, huge black clouds & the wet stuff is chucking it down.

By the way, I hope they waited until the game was over before starting target practice.
