[Simon H]

Bruce there is a taxi rank outside the station but they may be busy because it's Friday so it might be an idea to book one in advance to save waiting. Here's a couple of numbers for you 01342 720004 or 01342 317400.

 

[Big Stu 12]

well, packing is sort of done........... hope it is, lol.

Just cant wait till tomorrow.... see you all soon

 

[jackcbr]

Wet n dry in the bag. Fire wood in the landy. Card liberated. Kit more or less sorted. Still half a day at work to do.

 

[spandit]

Haven't started packing yet - hope it stays warm, I'm only bringing a thin bag

 

[Neil1]

See you all on Saturday night! What pitch are we on?

 

[widu13]

Dear All,

15 of us have undertaken to chip in for the large 'chute.

The 'chute cost £55, the rope £8, the pegs £9 and the 'biner £5.

Grand total= £77

Divided by 14 as Hugo has made his payment by supplying storage bags and his time, the cost each will be the princely sum of £5.50.

I'll be there Sat morning, but please don't try to give me any money until I've set up camp!

Please try to bring the right money, changing a £50 note from all of you affluent people will be hard work in Ashdown!

Once the monies are in I will then pay Spandit for the pegs.

Hope that makes sense?! Here's the list for those that may have forgotten who said what:

I'll bring mine to the June meet or can paypal it if you want?

June's fine as long as you promise not to do a runner to South America?

Robin,

Am I to assume that the nights might still be cold (even if it kinda hot and sunny during the day) ?

Assume.... dont.... prepare....

Just remmeber Assume just makes an bottom out of U and ME.

Pack for a colder night, just in case. last night was 17c tho.

I am taking my thicker sleeping bag and a thin underquilt for the hammock, if it to hot i'll just use the underquilt and the sleeping bag as a throw over

Forecast says the lows for Forest Row during both nights is 15C. I was something like that last night and the house was so oppressive I set up a tarp and slept on the ground in the garden on a groundsheet and sleeping mat, with a sleeping bag that's over 20 years old and by no means Winter rated.

A breeze can suck the heat right out of you though so I wouldn't skimp either, especially in a Hammock.

 

[Swallow]

With this heat what is anybody taking to store meat in? I have a gas powered Fridge but it's a big old boy, not something you can carry any distance. I can't remember if this is a pitch you can drive to, to unload.

 

[Simon H]

Just a cool bag for meat, I'm more worried about warm beer though tbh!

Ahahaha, vey good indeed Stu.
I remember my instructor when I was doing my military service in Germany saying something like :"Expect the best, but get ready for the worst"

Yeah, that 's what I said, we definitely need an 18 wheeler for:

- 200 kgs of ice cubes
- 2 jacuzzi
- 10 beer kegs
- 3 arcade machines for the kids
- 4 fans / AC combos
- 25 wet t-shirt contest chix (optional)
- 10 pole dancers (optional with extra charge, drinks not included)


I am proud to announce that the Broadstone Warren Hilton is now officially open ! Woohoo !

Belly. Works for me!

 

[hemdale]

When you are:

- Backpacking
- Camping
- Whatever


Carrying the entire gear yourself is:

- Killing me
- F*%&@ing heavy

Note to self:

Don't do that ever again.

 

[Beansprout]
