That's out my way unless you go from Notts across to north of Brum? I imagine that's a little counter intuitive?

I don't even know what time we're meant to be arriving there Saturday.

We aim to be there for around midday.

midday! Oh my! That means I'll need to be at Westcroft by about 8am to get the cider then. :eek: I thought it might be a reasonably modest hour to start the day. I may have to aim to get there around 2

I have a small drive planned for Saturday afternoon. It will probably take around 2.5 - 3 hrs (including a country pub stop in the middle).

So we need to plan to set off by 2.30pm (3.00pm latest) in order to get back and get the bbq's fired up before it gets too late - especially the disposable Tesco ones that seemed to take forever to get going.

So please leave yourselves enough time to arrive, unload, set up camp, eat lunch etc etc and be ready for 2.30.

Andy , did the Tesco BBQ get going at all last time?

I will not be with you until around 4.30pm anyway , but hopefully we will be all set up ready for when you get back from your drive.

Sarah

I'll be arriving around about the same time too Sarah, although I worry there might be no camping space left by then! :eek:

Rob,

the space next to the toilets should still be free

I might have to sacrifice the Saturday drive... Depends on what time I can get the cider from Westcroft, and what the traffic is like.

Oh, and I'm bringing the leftovers of my aquapel. See here:

I may be interested in one of the aquapels actually Jason.

I'll be there early to get a nice spot, and I wouldn't miss the drive for the world!

quite looking forward to this now!

I am hoping to arrive in time for the drive but will probably be looking to scav a lift:) (working from 4 am so will be too knacked to concentrate on a 3 hour drive:O)

Another update....

I've been down to Burrs today and met with the contractors on site. They won't be digging any more grass up before the weekend, so I'm hopeful we will squeeze all the tents on. A few more volunteers for the bunkhouse might help though.

Breakfast will be available at 9.00am on both days for

saw a weather report that said it won't be as sunny as today.. cloudy and the odd bit of sun... but still warm... 18 celcius, so good for camping

BBC - Weather Centre - 5 Day Forecast in Celsius for Bury, United Kingdom

I prefer the BBC one!

Are we going to secure a clear area for the gazebo (if there's one?) and BBQ's so we can be in a group, rather than scattered around the tents?

Andy - Will it be possible to build a fire pit on one of the earth mounds to use as a bbq? or as anyone got a half oil drum we can use? then we would only need are a few meshes to cook on

this would be a good idea... the "communal" bit at the end of the night when we were drunk was good fun....

someone steal some police cones, and we'll save a bit in the middle! lol...

I can bring a gazebo if need be, and a stereo (i'll prepare some normal music).

IIRC your music is perfectly normal;)

Might be there in my puma at this rate...... picked up a puncture on the A66 last night, couldn't find the locking wheel nut doobry so had to call out the RAC! Still can't find the doobry, and the RAC chap told me I need new pads too..... looks like I'm gonna be in the puma for a few days!

oh - and I think we've got a gazebo somewhere too..... dunno if it'd fit in the puma tho

Its a shame we can't make the same comment about his dancing :eek:

We'll need a clear area for the auction anyway. I'll bring a wallpaper pasting table to lay stuff out on.
