Are we all ready for this

Benner · **Reply #1 on:** March 18, 2009, 12:40:39 PM

If you've definitely got a tent then yes I am.

Can't wait.

Gareth · **Reply #2 on:** March 18, 2009, 12:56:05 PM

I have to admit I'm not ready in the slightest. In my defence I've got my daughters birthday this weekend and then a three night camping/walking trip the weekend after. Assuming I survive that then I'll have time to think about it.

Is it really only four weeks away?

Why not?

Well..... funds are a smallish issue, but more so is the fact that when I casually dropped it in to conversation with the wife last night she asked "are their girlfriends or wives coming?"

I assumed the answer was a fairly firm no?! This made her concerned that a bunch of strange men might whisk me away in to the night never to return (not sure why that's a bad thing), and I don't think she liked the idea very much

I think I would like to meet you chaps as this is a great forum. Maybe next year... knowing my luck it will be hundreds of bloody miles away then!

Don't believe him.....I have seen his collection.

Although the fact we meet on MOD property rented by the police might persuade her....don't worry you can stop for the BBQ and then go home. Spending the night is not obligatory.....especially after Dunc called to the Whales last time

phil.gas · **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:06:51 PM

I have not bought a tent yet. but i think i have every thing else, but just to make sure.
i wonder what everyone else is bringing to the meet. (a part from a few tools)

phil

DaveK · **Reply #12 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:09:02 PM

- Tent (not yet bought)
- Food / cooking equipment (not yet bought)
- Some tools
- Umbrella.

That should cover it

phil.gas · **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:13:26 PM

Umbrella...good thinking..if we all take one the sun is bound to shine .

You've done this kind of thing before!

Flash · **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:15:05 PM

Chairs people....bring chairs.

Also, tarpaulins or plastic sheets....I have a cunning plan

I've heard tell of Neils collection - he's even spared a little piece of it for me

As regards to the whalesong, would that be from the top end or the tradesmans entrance? This could be a deciding factor!

Flash · **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:20:52 PM

We aren't sure.....however I know there was a tsunami in Dudley off the back of his "ruminations"

Neil · **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:25:23 PM

And then there was the radioactive (well glow it glowed in the dark at any rate) discharge. Poor fish. I beieve he's still on the run from Greenpeace

Put it this way, after his toxic moon dance, the campsite we went to last year has been cordened off for at least the next hundred years until the ground radiation reaches level's survivable by normal human beings

OK, I'm in the verge of convincing my girl to come with me to the meet!

Now I need to know a couple of things:

Could we bring our campervan (with the easier option of staying)?
Can I bring my 2 dogs (who can be chained up no probs)?
And most importantly will there be a fire?!

Flash is the one who can answer that (he arranged the venue).

I'm allergic to dogs but that's not a problem unless I'm in close proximity. Or unless their the type to do the sorrowful look until you fuss them, then I become weak, do the fuss thing, come up in hives and its all downhill from then on

Gareth · **Reply #27 on:** March 18, 2009, 11:27:03 PM

My packing list consists of:

SAKs
Multis
Axes
Sabre
tent
sleeping bag
paracord
more knives+torches
folding chairs
dog tags

I may have to work on the food and drink part.

There will be drink right?

If others do want to come then I can still organise dog tags for them. They only take a couple of days to be delivered.
