Annual Lakes camping do.... 15th - 16th August

Does this mean I need to bring my gazebo as I was really hoping to not have to lug it up and down the country.  Do the Wibble's have a gazebo?

[Phil-E]

I know! I was convinced that they were on different weekends then realised yesterday that they were both this weekend.

 

Bad times :(

maybe..... I think BryanD has one, not sure though...

The wibbles tell me they have a huge awning for their caravan so I propose making that the social area and have the cooking gazebo alongside.

 

My 6x3 weighs about 40kg so really don't fancy bringing it haha!

We have more than enough room for everyone.

Is anyone taking a proper bbq? I can bring a bag of coals along if so.... get more out of that than a load of disposables!

[bryand]

I'm bringing the 8'x8' gazebo we had last year, two charcoal BBQs and the fridge.  Any contributions of charcoal will be welcome.  I'll try to get there by 2 on Friday.

[devonutopia]

I'll see what coals I have although I think I took all my spare coals to the National meet.  I think I will just buy a bag when there, or passing a supermarket on the way after leaving the M6.

 

Looks to be an Asda outside Kendal.  I will likely nip in there to stock up on beer, food, and charcoal (if someone gives me a list in advance I will get stuff for other people too)

Yeah not long to go, just getting packed up, hoping to leave here mid afternoon at the latest.

Does anyone know the latest you can arrive at campsite? Matthews stuck working and not sure what time he will get home to then pack and set off, its either a late one or early set off cheers

See you all tomoz

[sharkrider]

dont think there is a latest to arrive, but you dont really want to be setting up after dark...

 

weather is following reports, its already stopped raining here, and forecast is good for the next few days

 

so everyone get on up here for nice weekend

[Loz]

We will be setting off this afternoon after shopping, so hopefully some of you will already be there. See you in the usual spot

[Gillywibble]

Have a good one. As much as I would of loved to have chilled out, SWMBO is still on crutches and needing a bit of tlc.

 

Enjoy a dram on me and look to the stars oh and drive safe
