Middlewood Scout Camp Meet

[Chris G]

Looking like SWMBO and kids (toddlers) are coming for Saturday so you won't be alone at playing Dad for the day.

I just got a 'pass-out' for Saturday night from SWMBO, WooHoo.

 

[Chris G]

Tony,

Have you got your accommodation sorted yet?

It looks like clan thingswelike wont be able to make it after all.
A combination of jet lag, no stove (fourdog let me down and I have no cash) and pressing work deadlines means that I'm feeling pretty stressed about being away from home for the weekend.
I'll be sure to make the next delamere/middlewood one and I hope to see some great photos next week.

Sorry all - I've been looking forward to it for ages

Have a good 'un.

Sad you will miss it Alex. See you next time though.

Thanks Matt.
Looking forward to hearing how all the underblankets/quits fare in the weather too. I haven't had chance to try mine yet.
Cheers
Alex

It seems a lot of us are dropping out, and I'm afraid I have to add myself to the list, I have family commitments (some of you are aware of) I just cannot ignore atm. Matt sorry mate, next time.

Regards

Stephen

Nae worries Stephen, you'll be missed but there is always next time as you say. I am getting it in the neck from my folks as my brother is coming up from down south this Friday and I am shooting off on Saturday. The way I see it, he has a day and a half to catch up as I have had this planned for too long and his trip up hasn't been planned for more than a week! Of course, it is my mother giving the earache and saying that an extra ten minutes up the motorway is too far for them to come and visit! Oh well, not my loss!

Not sure what your commitments are but I expect they are probably a tad more serious than mine.

Tony,

Have you got your accommodation sorted yet?

Chris

Yes thanks,

This season i will be sporting the lesser known Nissan sleeping system.
It comes complete with CD player, air-con, electrically operated ventilation portals, and high mounted illumination devices.

Bringing two sleeping bags, standard inside a kingsize (im a standard size before you ask).

Gonna bring two gallons of Oldham water too, best in the world. (local water usually tastes funny to me wherever i go).

My first knife arrived yesterday in the post, and i've squared the back for better sparky things.

Got to pack it all yet (better make a list).

Funny how local water is the best, I think that but I'm sure we have the same water source as Oldham Tony :bluThinki :thinkerg:

 

[Matt Weir]

Oh, and I have bad news I went to the European market yesterday and chap selling mead on has ran out of the good stuff (I'm hoping one of you lot has bought it all and is going to bring it ). He won't be getting any until Friday

I tried the next best stuff at £11 per bottle but it just didn't make the grade I'm afraid

I may end up as I did at the summer moot with a bottle of sake warmed on the stove.

 

[LazySod]

Speaking of 'Vino callapso' .........

Got mesen 10 bottles of wine from Asda for 45p last Sunday ...... and they gave me £20 in gift tokens.

How? ......Clue: Always read the small print.

So i'll pop a few bottles of red in the boot too.

 

[firebreather]

I tried the next best stuff at £11 per bottle but it just didn't make the grade I'm afraid

When i went down and tried it I prefered the £11 stuff as the top of the range bottle was that sweet that i felt like bart and millhouse..... ......"man thats good squishy".... ......It was just over the top for my bitter tastebuds. Anyway horses for courses.

[spamel]

Greg, I meant to send your can opener off but completely forgot! Will you be making it down for the day at all? I am there from about lunchtime Saturday to Lunchtime Sunday. If not, I'll chuck it in the post for you. You'll need to send me your address a again though as I cleared out my PMs, forgot that your address was in one of them!

 

[firebreather]

Fingers crossed i will be getting down for a while( maybe even more).
The car is now fixed...... I think, but i have yet to test it on a good run. So I should know more tonight. If all goes well the plan is camp fri night drive down to lincoln sat and spend the day with my daughter. Then drive back to the meet for a rest and a few beers. Acting as if I had never been away . If I do get down i will be bringing my fire stuff for a play at night.
Cheers Greg
