Dont stick round in there for long as I normaly have a good dump @ 7.30... help.gif
Whether I'm oot of me bag or not... blush.gif

Sure it will be OK to crash somewhere.

So far we have nine of us confirmed for the bunkhouse a a few camping. Bunkhouse people are:

Te Deum
Wicky
Spongey
Hawmaw
Darrin B x 2
Alan E
Matlock
Nanook.
+ Bondy and his four mates

We could really do with a few more to fill the bunkhouse. If we don't we will all have to pay another quid or two on top of the £27.33 as that price is based on filling the bunkhouse. Anyone out there thinking about coming along - STOP the indecision RIGHT NOW!! We had a great weekend last year and I've no doubt that this year will be just as good. PM me for my address to send yer dosh. yu.gif yu.gif


If my simple arithmetic is correct we have one bunkhouse place left lads. Any takers??

Beware the whitevanman!

Right, bit late to the party on this one.....fancy the trip but not sure if I will make it, am job hunting at the mo so not sure if I will be working at that time, is it OK to decide the week before and join in at the last minute???

Have a tent so that will be OK, or could sign up for a bun room if one is still free - decisions decisions!!

Also, anyone ehading up from the Home Counties way? If so what sort of time?

At the moment there is still one place in the bunkhouse but it is first come first served I'm afraid. However there will be camping available at the last minute.

That all ok? I take it the two 'oddballs' wont be shot at dawn?!

Anyone wanting to camp is welcome - just arrange it directly with Demesne Farm. The bunkhouse is now full so thats 15 + the campers. Should be a good weekend. Anyone fancy sorting the Saturday rideout? Last year there was a breakfast kitty and a couple of very willing (and able) cooks - any takers for this year?

Would be a good idea to get the rideout sorted in advance. Last year was a bit haphazzard. Unfortunately I don't know the area and can't even remember where we went last year. I just followed like a sheep ! I think there was 18 last year and looks like a good few more this year. Maybe a good idea to have 2 groups doing different routes and meeting up for
a cake stop.
