While the New Year Meet was kind of mellowing out one night, Windward mentioned that he'd like a Burn's Night meet up on the site.

That would be the weekend of the 25th January, not long away, I know

Any interest in this ?

cheers,
Toddy........who really will wear her arisaid this time round.

I'd love to but I'm off to Dublin on the 26th.

 

[Gailainne]

What do you think !

 

[Toddy]

I think it could be fun
I'd even pick Russ up and take him back to view the scene of the crime
Locum we'll get to see you there yet Have fun in Ireland though

cheers,
Toddy

Hi Mary,i would be up for it.Are we talking about the Friday to the Sunday.

 

[Toddy]

I thought if we planned to cook a meal for all of us on the Saturday night that would mean that if folks wanted to make a long weekend around it, they could, or if they were only able to manage one day/ evening/ night/ whatever, that should be fine too.

Looking awfully quiet so far........

Russ is in a moonboot type cast now so that he can keep an eye on his stitches but he's not allowed to bear any weight on that foot.

cheers,
M

Cheers

I'm still up for it...there was a chance I'd need to go south but thats not happening anymore. Think it could be a nice way to spend the weekend for a Burns night.

There's a chance I could bring a 15 man Tipi so if theres only a few of us we could be in there for cooking and eats. Will know soon.

Toddy, if this is going to happen I promise that I will also wear my arisaid. Can bring the Pio along. I know its a bit of a contradiction, but can you veggie haggis.

here's hoping

 

[Dharma]

Toddy
Last post should read can you eat veggie haggis on this diet?

 

[Toddy]

Excellent , I was going to phone you later

No, I can't, it's got gluten in it.
However, I do have a recipe for one that's made with lentils and peanuts, so I'm going to give it a go and see how it tastes

Go on, bring the poi spinning fire around is serious fun

I might be pushing my luck as I'm also away camping in Feb.

But as I live so close, and space is unlikely to be an issue, I may well drop in with one or more of my sons.

 

[Gailainne]

I forgot

I still have 2 haggi and a metre long black pudding in the freezer , I'm sorted what are you lot bringing ?

I'll share promise.

Y'know Magikelly and Warthog1981 now call billie sizes by how many haggi they can hold for boiling ? You know the pot Russ uses for water ? that's a three haggis pan iirc

I thought that was our secret. Wait till you find out about our tent sizing

 

[Toddy]

I'm kind of scared to ask

cheers,

I'm giving this thread a bump, and hoping that folks will give a heads up if they're seriously thinking of coming along or not.

The site ought to still be quiet enough that using the camping field shouldn't be a problem with other folks.
I don't think there'll be loads of us anyway, but a shared meal and a chance to sit and catch up would be good
It's still lightish to nearly five so maybe aim for dinner the back of six ? and then a mellow company, a supper to clear the decks ?
Play with poi, make some music, pass the quaich around, recall some of the Bard's words toast his memory and enjoy the company.

The woods are good for the hammocks, the campsite is easy to reach from the car, loos and showers and hot running water, all excellent. Open fires actively encouraged

If folks are happy with this I'll phone the site tomorrow and see what they say about a parachute ( or a byre ) just in case.

Hey Windward This was a good idea you had

cheers,
Toddy

 

[stuart f]

Hi Mary,i will be there,also i will be bring my youngest as this will be her first bushy outing and shes hyper already

Will we have to phone to book a pitch again or do you think it will just be a case of turning up?

Thanks Stuart.

 

[Dreadhead]

[Graham_S]

I think I'll be working, or very nearly. I don't think I'll make it this time.
