Hi guys, I'm afraid that I can't make it at the weekend after all, I'm sorry to let you guys down again, I have to do some family stuff. I'll have to make do with pictures again. Hope you enjoy yourselves. Ben
 
hi all,

This weekend, meet at thickthorne or at the site, easy either way, as less than expected not so many cars at the farm easy parking.

I will be at the park n ride at 9 am and then to the farm.

All the best
 
Wohooo. Just had someone bring two wool blankets down so I can lighten your load GT as I won't need the sleep system now. Still need the blower though please. I've got the snorkers. See you there

That was good timing I was about to sort it out. I'll bring some muffins for afters. What else do we need?

If anyone wants them, send me an email or PM me for it if you haven't got it

Nice to see another way to sleep the night away.

All it is now to get the next one in before the rain returns!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Great day on Saturday, I now can believe how hard it can be to get a fire going after lots of rain. Well done Dave. Thanks for the day. when I left the bus did not come down the road as a fete was on in village. So I walked to the world end pub in mulbarton.
