Slight issue i am afraid everyone....
I am at the Outdoors show with work tomorrow and i was going to leave at 1 so i can get back and up the woods fairly early.

Found out today I could be recieving an award at the show tomorrow, only problem is the awards ceremony is at 3pm!!! GRRR

So i probably wont be up the woods until 6:30 - 7! Which is not what i wanted at all.

Make yourselves at home if i am not there and i will see you all ASAP...

Just to let you know I am unable to get the parachute, what I thought was a smaller whole chute turns out to be half a cargo chute (free to a good home). What can I bring? Bought some bread rolls to take, do we need a large oval billy? Would easily fit rice for everyone in it.

Right.... After spending god knows how long in Tesco!
i have now bought the whole shop...

I've got Chilli and Jacket potatoes for Sat night... Should work out at about £3 each if that is ok with everyone!

I also have enough cider to supply the whole of somerset on a saturday night!!!

And the amount of food just for me... Well lets just say i wont be loosing any weight this weekend.

the woods are fairly free for everyone to camp where they want.
I do have my eye on one space.... I'm going to go up first thing in the moring and wrap Duck Tape round the two trees i want, apart from that it is all up for grabs.

I think we will probably fairly stretched out, so shouldn't have to hear each other snoring...

i'll let you guys decide where you want a communal fire, there are about three locations that are big enough for everyone to enjoy a fire and social... i'm sure you will be able to figure it out.

Bazz - Bring bread if you have it... there is never enough bread!! And it is good for mopping up Chilli.

if all goes to plan it should be good!

Unfortunately i have been through two phones since i saw you guys last at the pub, so i don't have anyones numbers..... :-(

For anyone who does not have my number it is: 07830 426654
(Someone may say i shouldn't put my number on the forum but if someone really wants to stalk me or prank me. i'll just add them to the list of weird girls that wont leave me alone...!)

Let the fun begin!

I'm hoping to get the UK rights, but this sort of stuff can be a bit of a hand full. I update you when I get some thing solid for you. :)

trying different ways to set up the parachute led us to desparate measures.
