Okeedokee, I don't know what I'm doing either yet (let me rephrase that - I don't know what swmbo says I'm doing) but if I'm going and your free to attend I'll happily swing by wakefield. It's not *too* far from me in Leeds.

 

[scruff]

thanks dude, that would be groovey

 

[JimH]

I'd like to attend, but wouldn't call it more than a "maybe", as I tend not to plan this far in advance and may be called upon to thin out the Derbyshire grayling population...

Jim.

Ok guys, we have been offered this scout campsite, it will be much easier for most people to get to, and we can have it from 30th through to the 2nd. I am just waiting for confirmation that we can take dogs to this site, and I have promised that if we can we will of course be respoinsible and clean up after them.

There are a couple of large sites and some smaller backwoods sites, all with fire pits and plenty trees for hammocks anyway check the pics on the website and let me know what you think?

[Graham_S]

[Emberglow]

Sorry didnt realise the address is not on the site, Campsite Address
Middlewood Scout Campsite

[scruff]

hmm good work liz u lush

 

[Graham_S]

well this site is about another 100 miles south for me but it's almost all motorway.
no more fell road, woo-hoo!!

 

[Emberglow]

Thanks Scruff you know me so well
From the pics it looks fine to me and like Graham_S said its motorway for most of the way, and we don't know what the weather will be like, I have been to this site before and have fond memories of falling in the lake (sober and about 10 years old lol)

Woo Hoo I am looking forward to it, anyone with transport problems... if they can get to Walkden station by train we could organise pick-ups from there, but I am sure everyone will pitch in with transport.

Still waiting for confirmation on dog status, because if I cant take the dogs it rather knocks me out of this

Hey guys, transportation could be an issue for me, and I don't want to miss out on this. There is a possibility my dad might be able to drive me down but i'm not counting on it. If anybody could give me a lift that would be fantastic, I know there are few guys possibly going from the newcastle area who could possibly help me out, I could probably get trains/buses to a more suitable pickup point. Any offers?

 

[Goose]

Just up the east lancs!
And the trafford centre just up the road, she can drop me off and go and look in the shops!
I might make it, if only for a day!

 

[outdoorcode]

Have you heard about the mutt status yet? Its looking about 95% certain I can make it depending on the dogs being allowed of course.

[Emberglow]

ok guys sorry for the delay I have been away for a few days but heres the reply to the much awaited dog question.

Elizabeth
The cost for camping is £3.00 per person per night.
Regarding dogs we do not allow them on the site.
This is because of the health risks associated this dog mess and the possibility of them injuring someone.
However, as you could well be the only campers on site, if you ensure that they are always supervised and any mess is immediately cleaned up I do not see any problems.
Regards
Bookings Sec

So I guess its up to us to make sure we clean up thoroughly and keep them under close supervision.
Can everyone thats interested please let me know? thanks

Liz

 

[Razorstrop]

So is anyone coming on the New Year Meet?

 

[outdoorcode]

well if I can bring the pack I'm 99% sure we can make it (I'll have a family pack of scoop bags with me too as always)

 

[Emberglow]

Can anyone still interested in this please sign up on the new thread that was started?? We need at least 10 to make it worthwhile
