Be Excellent To Each Other

Ok folks, nothing set in stone yet but thought it would be a good idea to start an official thread with the info / ideas we have.

Date is Friday 17 August (we normally go on Friday and return on Sunday but if you just want to do Sat that's fine)

Venue: Lanefoot Farm Camp site

Tel: 01768 778097

These things normally involve drinking, LOLing, eating in Pubs/off BBQuicks, Wasps and a spot of walking / photography. Let us know if you're interested.

Oh yeah seasoned veteran and 'friend of ours' Baz will be there along with Mark and I. I'm pretty sure Pupil will be in attendance too.

Maybe. Shame I missed last year.

I can't make that, sorry. I'll be camping elsewhere.

Good.

More beer and totty for me then.

I'm quite disappointed. I'll be away with friends and stuff. We've already rearranged it once already due to mrsA being elsewhere, so I can't really not go. Soz. Maybe next time (again).

Well, that date isn't set in stone just yet.

I thought you were joking.

Glancing at my diary, that I assume is correct at this juncture, I'm only free on the weekends of 28th July, 4th August, 11th August and 25th August. But, I wouldn't plan around me.

Sorry, think it's going to have to be that weekend for me.

No worries. You can take me up the tarns some other time.

I guess we should probably try and book something then, we can always try and change it later. Should I see if one of the yurts is free?

I'll wear a red shirt and talk to camera in your honour.

In.

Sorry, all full up now Russ.

Yeah, that would be excellent.

Baz & Pupil are defos.

OK, out.

LOL

You can expect these sort of hijinks and witty insights as we gather around your roaring sleeping bag.

This is my roaring sleeping bag:

You need to watch more wildlife documentaries.

You need to do more camping with me.

I fancy a bit of this, if I can make it. I will pencil it into my diary. Though I am hugely unreliable.

That's absolutely fine.

All I can say is that's where we will be. It's up to everyone else to get booked in and make their way there. I'll PM my mobile number out to those who think they'll be able to make it nearer the time too.

I'd be there like a shot if it was down to me. Optimistic maybe?

Piss off.



Sorry, not sure what came over me. No chance Mrs T is up for camping, and neither am I to be honest!

Ok all ready for this. I have a new torch that I got from DealExtreme. It's incredibly bright and includes a variety of modes including rave/strobe/epileptic fit.

I'm excited now.

This could be the best camping trip ever.

Will we be getting a surprise Wullie though this year?

We should go back to that crossbow shop, but buy stuff this time.

Sadly I'm away that weekend too. Oh well, on to Tinkers 2013...

I'll check the calender once I get out of sheepshagger country.

Is Satterthwaite trainable? I'm not walking 80-odd miles.

I'm not even walking 80 normal miles.

I reckon you would

I’m almost certain people would be willing to pick you or anybody else up from the nearest train station you can get to. I certainly would be, as soon as I can commit to this.

There's no Endorse It festival this year due to the Olympricks, plus I'm on the rota for being on call w/c 20th August. That makes this eminently possible.

So yeah, maybe.

don't lift anything between now and August.

Just waiting to see if that scrotum implant takes, eh?

Bump

We lost Pupil, to a wedding.

Any joy with the campsite yet Mark?

So the date is confirmed for this, yes? Absolutely? Because I'm about to book my day off...

Just managed to finally get through to Grizedale campsite and they only take families during the school holidays. I'll try the usual place instead and just hope that he's forgotten about Zardoz.

They won't recognise me without my gold tooth.

Are you banned from the normal place Zardoz?

First post updated with phone number so if you're coming along give them a ring. Can take a while to get through as the owner is a farmer so he's not always about in the office.

I know Mimi & Russ were pretty defo about this.

Can we please be expecting Kalmar and Wullie?

I'm still a maybe.

It's definitely going to be hot and sunny (not too hot, mind, just right) in case anyone was worrying about the weather.

Was this meant for the sexuality thread?

Hopefully see you there then Malabelm.

5 weeks to go!

But with a lovely blanket of snow each time you look out of the pub window.

In like Jerome Flynn.

By which I mean... booked and paid for.

I'll bring the Rubber fist of initiation then.

And please try and keep noise to a minimum.

Better pack the ball gag as well then.
