LATEST NEWS FROM CRONKDHOO! Spoke to Maureen 10 mins ago.

Maureen apologises for the hassle.
The "Common" Room will be Ok to use and there will be just a kettle in there. The heating will be on.
The Showers and toilets will be OK to use and CLEANED ( she made a big point about this!)
She has reserved us our own spot near to the showers etc.. I told her there will be about 11 tents. Told her we need to be close for our zimmer frames! rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif
There is no microwave or cooker so it will be a "Ray Mears Survival" job if you want bacon butties in the morning.
I will bring my own coffee etc.. dunno if you still want me to bring a box of teabags etc.. Let me know before Friday please!
I would prefer to ride to Tesco while I am there to save space. (only got 21 litre panniers!)

Not sure how many she has. dunno.gif She will let me know.
Apparently...... They are wooden WW2 ones!!! And Lyn used them in the rooms. !!! rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif

She also said she has spare bedding that she has washed if any one feels the cold.
Not sure if anyone wants tucking in, stories read, or if there are communal teddy bears!!!! rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif rotflmmfao.gif

Maybe next year I'll try and get the mother in law and wifey to take a cheap holiday somewhere and let me lose for a few days

Enjoy lads, enjoy.
