Now, Skunk Anansie. Do I like them?

No, not really.

Ahem, sorry, on with the planning!

After looking at Grim...'s BETEOBEEQUEUE website I would like to know if I can marinade my thing? :hat:

I can't make this for the same reasons that I can't make the bbq

Sorry.

You can marinade your thing at the Tinkers 2011 meet.

Nothing too spicy though.

We all set for this then? Wullie you coming? Anyone else?

The weather is looking great :DD

Still there's nothing to beat the thrill of sleeping under canvas as a thunderous, torrential storm rages overhead.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Aug 08, 2011 11:14

Only seeing light rain for Friday. Which forecast are you looking at?

I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine, trust me.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Aug 08, 2011 11:17

Hmm yeah, just seen the 10 day forecast...

:DD

Few things are more manly then digging trenches at 2 o'clock in the morning during a thunderstorm to stop a camp being flooded out.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16640

I'm sure it'll be fine, at the very least we'll get to see if the techno-tents work as advertised.

Followed by a naked wrestling match with Oliver Reed in front of a roaring fire.

Right! I checked trains and I can get into Penrith for 6:50pm on Friday evening. Is there an offer of a pick-up from the station again? :kiss:

I emailed the campsite and rang, no answer, so looks like I'll be winging it again like last time. Did anyone else book in advance?

I already booked for you, I just wasn't sure if wullie was coming or not. Baz is driving but I'm pretty sure he won't mind a trip to the station.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:31

We'll be absolutely smashed by then.

Full moon on Saturday evening; bring Zardoz's cage. :metul:

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:43

I hope Wullie has bought a Techno Tent, so he won't ruin our formation.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16640

Is wullie definitely coming then?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:49

Yeah, pretty sure he is.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16640

We should go and smash Keswick up, loot the outdoor shops for suitable wet weather clothing.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 10:57

I'm going to shit on a Kendal Mintcake outside the Beatrix Potter house.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 11:00

We've got another late booking.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

Kalmar!

We will harness the power of hippy in our battle against the elements!

The weather forecast is looking a little better. :metul:

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16640

Yeah, only light rain now. We'll surely be lucky and dodge all the showers like last year.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2011 11:52

I got a new lightweight waterproof coat yesterday anyway.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2011 11:53

And we can get ourselves fully erect a lot quicker this year.

I've seen the speed with which you can pitch a tent.

Everyone got my number in their phones?

1 more sleep!

Not long to go now.

Keep watching.

Have fun in the great outdoors. Don't feed the bears.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sun Aug 14, 2011 9:46

Are you all still alive? Have fun?

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Sun Aug 14, 2011 20:47

I'm a bit worried that there has been no posting or pics in this thread. Have you all been mauled by bears or something?

They've been mauled by Zardoz. Most specifically, Little Zardoz.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sun Aug 14, 2011 21:29

Knackered. Very good fun, lots of rain but nothing too heavy.

I'll post more tomorrow.

Good turnout in the end, cheers to everyone who make it.

And thank you for arranging a great fun weekend, only sorry I missed the proper hike!

Yeah, ace weekend and no sick! I'll post a couple of pics later although I don't think I had my camera out after the special guest stars arrived.

pupil · **Posted:** Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:18

Top weekend! Thanks to all involved again

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:30

My legs still don't work properly.

Key features of Tinkers 2011:

4 men jumping with fright at the sound of a pack of hound dogs going mental.

4 men not needing to be rescued from the top of a hill but watching some poor sod get searched for and lifted off.

A toad.

Burger hotplate engineering

2 special guest stars (will they reveal themselves themselves?)

No sick.

No stings.

Full English breakfasts.

Quechua pop up tent formations.

I thought we agreed I didn't go to this years, I was just a year late arriving at last years?
