Nice to see where we are going to be staying. I think that the "Pool" will be most inviting if the weather is hot and a few bevvies have been consumed. lol

I see the action photography is taken care of then :(

On the friday we''l have to go to the local post office to get you a day fishing license cause you wouldn't want a £1000 fine! £3.50 for a day license and I'll provide the kit:cool:

[Frank]

will we get 500 on that field

[plowsie]

On the friday we''l have to go to the local post office to get you a day fishing license cause you wouldn't want a ?1000 fine! ?3.50 for a day license and I'll provide the kit:cool:
I hink ?3.50 is the better bet. I wanted to do the ride, but even though i prob won't i get to still be part of the fun with some great people.

[Frank]

dont fget your tin of catfood for them pesky carp

[darylB]

Apparently the poles eat carp, does this mean food for the barbie is going to be fresh caught fish?

Daryl.:D:chef:

[TSM]

is the area liable to flooding?

looks all good, the carpark looks like it will all packed out by us

[fizzwheel]

is the area liable to flooding?

No, the particular area that the campsite is on is higher than the surround low land. So no need to worry about flooding.

Theres plenty of bike parking space round the back of the pub, so no need to worry on that score either.

[Bear]

Luckily that speed camera should only catch us as we pull away or pull in, so we shouldn't be more than double the speed limit...

[dizzyblonde]

I know Fizz says the camp field is higher....but if it rains like last year......we still might need flippers...lol

Quite frankly, I don't believe him... I'm bringing a dinghy to pitch my tent in. :lol:

;)

Edit: Ooh, better still, I wonder how much those covered life dinghies go for? :lol:

Should be bungee-able to a pillion seat :)

[fizzwheel]

Honestly in my 35 years of living in this area, I've never seen the campsite flooded or remotely looking like it was going to flood.

Please dont let this get out of hand, I dont want people put off coming because they are worried the campsite might flood if it rains...

[Ping]

Aw Fizz, we're only messing around... :)

Surely the sheer ridiculousness of the idea of bringing a life-raft for a tent highlights that to everyone? :)

Sorry I'm making you nervous... ;)

[plowsie]

Surely moonbase will float anyway lol.

As said before Fizz looks really good, you guys have done a good job.

First one to get their knee down on the track'ur without falling off after 10 pints gets another beer from me :lol:

OMG!!! I didn't even think of that!...

[plowsie]

Imagines the conversation..."i know it costs to fish in the pond, I know it costs to camp, How much does it cost to camp in the pond?"

:lol:

And "Sorry guys, there'll be no smoking or sharps in my tent this year..."

[plowsie]

Grinch and Bear will be doing a naked swim lol!

[Grinch]

Will I? I don't swim to good, though I imagine that I drown well.

[Ping]

That life raft comes with a fishing kit too...

I could see if I could catch me a Bearctopus or a Grinchfish while camping on the pond... :lol:

[hovis]

[SoulKiss]

Watch out for the tenticles on that Bearctopus - I hear they get everywhere - havent you seen those Japanese "Documentaries"

No,

Ask Sudoxe, I think he has an "archive".....

[Ping]

:confused:

Nah, Thunderdome... 10 men enter, 1 man leaves... Well, 2 in this case as per the Grinch & Bear Boots & Underwear caper... and... we weren't all men either... :lol:

I like to host knife fights in my tent.... :pirat:

Seriously though, It was a handy chunk of extra covered space that could hold a decent amount of people. The weather was abysmal. :)

Y'know... I provided something like 70% of the covered space for AR07... :lol: Bow before me...

Soulkiss - "LOL"

[northwind]

Site looks good to me. Does the mower run? :riding:

I imagine that I drown well.

Everyone's got at least one talent. Your search may be over :)
