Winter camping weekend in the Ribble Valley - Any interest?

[SimonM]

I have just sweet talked our local Scout Camp and now have permission to use it, out of season, for Meets.

Due to the lack of trees, the site is NOT suited to hammocks and tarps, but is ideal for tent camping.

Fires are allowed in the alter fire frames provided.

As a bonus, there is an air rifle range (10m) and an archery range, which I can lead if there is any interest (for a small hourly fee to the site!).

So, does anyone fancy a winter weekend? I was thinking of the last weekend in January 2010!

I know its a long way off, but I will need to book the site early, so just an indication of interest for now...

I'm the same. Summer has me running ragged at work or taking the wife and kids out. Winter weekends I can get away much more. I'm in, Simon.

Sorry StooBoy they don't allow weapons onsite other than their own due to insurance regulations but they are well maintained at Bowley as they have constant free upgrades from the local constabulary

Cake did I hear Cake??? I think i better come to this I will have lost so much weight over the festive season I might need to eat some cake!!

Will be good for a fresh new year start!!

So please count me in for this. Confirmed for definate nearer the time though there should be no problems. Will be nice to see some other scout camps too as I am a new ASL.
