Rough Close TORM event November 2010 Meet

[Mesquite]

Looking at the weather, it might not be a bad idea.

LOL, fair enough.

I just hope it's dry on the Sunday morning as I don't think the wife will appreciate me doing my usual trick of hanging tarps and the like over the bannister to dry. Somehow, I don't I'll get away with a parachute

Scumputer says:

At the moment (locally) it's supposed to be wet in the early hours of Friday, leading to a cloudy but _mostly_ dry day. Saturday is _supposed_ to be dry but cloudy. We shall not mention Sunday - We will, however, still hold Andy accountable

Andy BB - Vango Peace Tipi 500 - Brand new (recently opened up package I bought last year and found 2 tipis inside, not the one ordered - no wonder I thought it was so heavy! I'll be trying out mine for the first time here, so you can get to see one in action! (and judging by the weather forecast, it'll be a good test...) If anyone's interested I might also bring along a British Army No 2 Mk 2 Modified cooker - not a backpacker by any means - think of it as a turbocharged Optimus 111 on steroids! Cooked a nice roast chicken in it a couple of months ago.)

Just a thought, and I know the Address has been posted elsewhere in this list, but does anyone have a current internet address for the camp-site? The one on page 1 appears to no longer be valid.

It looks like their website is down at the moment

... does anyone have a current internet address for the camp-site? The one on page 1 appears to no longer be valid.

As Steve said - the site's down atm. As far as I'm aware, it's being re-jigged - I'm not sure that I would have effectively removed access to making bookings or finding the site .

To try to enable as easy access to sales/trades/swaps as we can I'm going to set a time to posse up.
Everyone who wishes to be involved needs to gather at the top end of PC11 (somewhere between myself and Steve) between 10:30 and 10:40 on Saturday (and before someone *asks* ... Morning ). We can sort the fineries from there - It also means that I'll definately be available at a specified time to sort fees .

 

[Muddy Boots]

Good work Phil. Will have a trawl through my stuff and see what else can go.
