"time to book the kennels"

As one of the guys who was supposed to be organising this (thanx Matt...LOL), count me in.

Was a FANTASTIC few days in a great location...Can we have steak for dinner again? Please? LOL

 

[JakeR]

I hope to be there...i'll have to check last exam dates!

Thanks mate!

 

[jakunen]

When you gonna get Senior to sign up?????

Give the old sod a kick!

 

[luxor1]

hi, if the dates are right i would be interested.

 

[Lithril]

Yup still going with the first weekend in July, I'll give the site a phone next week and see if we can book the far end of the site, otherwise I'll just have to get Leon to sit in the middle sharpening his collection of knives

 

[Womble]

heh heh heh...

otherwise I'll just have to get Leon to sit in the middle sharpening his collection of knives

I was thinking an axe with a slightly wry smile, a glint in my eye and a nice little snarl if people get too close

On second thoughts not a good idea, last year as soon as knives and axes came out (for camp work) a host of thousands seemed to descend upon us all asking "can I borrow your axe"

 

[Lithril]

Thats true, in that case we'll have to settle for a big photo of all of us swimming... that'll keep anyone away.

 

[Womble]

I'll find my original...

P.S: are you at the Moot this weekend Lithril?

 

[Lithril]

Oh yes indeedy, can't wait now, just getting things packed etc. Actually its probably good that I havent got a car at the moment or I'd be parked outside the gates waiting.... not that I'm impatient ;-)

What time do you think you'll be there??

Now that's being just plain gruesome, the wild life on Dartmoor has only just recovered from last time

 

[Womble]

Lith:
Sometime mid-afternoon mate; I want to miss the traffic through Reading so I'll be leaving Aldershot about 1.30-ish

 

[tomtom]

is there any chance of a summery of this thread.. specifically the location! as its looking like this will be the only meet up i will make it to this year!

 

[leon-1]

OK, so this is what has been suggested, so the guys that have not been there before know.

Location will be Cockingford Campsite which is approx 2k SSW of Widecombe in the Moor. GR 717750 It's a little campsite with only toilets and showers as facilities and fires are allowed. There's a little stream running nearby and a small wooded area. (This was copied from Falling Rains initial post for the first Meet, thanks Nick for the suggestion on the site )

It will be on the Weekend of the 2nd / 3rd of July. You can arrive pretty much anytime you wish. Last time we were based down at the bottom of the 3 fields near the gate, I would suggest heading there this time as it has the best fire pit.

Lithril was looking into seeing if we can get this for our use Pre-Booked so to speak. Any joy Lith
