Just phising for interest about a camping trip up in the lakes next summer?

Would anyone be interested?

Theres a really good campsite up at lake coniston that we've been to a few times now, and thought that this would be a good trip up there.

Im sure they could do us a special deal on a group booking.

Heres a link to a site with reviews of campsite:

Coniston Hall Camping Site , Coniston Campsite review

I could be persuaded on this, but that campsites seems abit steep! £12! per night! Last campsite I went upto in the Lakes was £5pppn, and that was in Cockermouth!

Thats what i mean... could see about a group deal, and if they're not willing to budge, then go somewhere else!

But they are a good site... very clean.

Theres a good pub nearby too!! hehe

But as i say, just asking around for interest as i think it would be a good weekend and would need some forward planning!

£12 per night was for a tent, car, 1 adult, 2 children and a dog though.

Many campsites these days seem to charge on a menu type basis.

Ah but does the pub serve real ale? :-P

Yup yup... its a little pub in the lakes... of course they sell real ale!! hehe

So is that four Briskodians in a car with one tent then?

Better hope its a big enough tent you've got there too.... 4 Briskodians in one tent???!!! hehe

Nearer the time, will drum up some more interest and get some rough figures of how many we expect and see about some special Briskoda deals!!!

Well I can also recommend a decent campsite, which is in Cockermouth, which is nice but less touristy, but still really close to some idyllic parts like Loweswater etc.

Plus Cockermount is 5 mins drive away or 20 minute walk!

The campsite we ended up in for this years Keswick meet was ok, open field, allowed fires and as much noise as you liked

Anyway interested in a camping meet, date time etc etc dependant

I'm interested

yes

there is the famous black bull in the village where they brew bluebird which is rather good on draft:P

I live in Keswick (as postman pat ect know ) and I f we could get a deffinate date and people AGREE to come, I could convince the rugby club to give us field right in the middle of town, they even offered to open the club showers, and bar for us, and they'd let us take the cars on, and be loud (ish) .. (we have loads of great pubs in the town, and the rugby club is right in the middle, and a stones throw from Booths...)

I tried to organise this last year, but no-one would commit without a date, and I couldn't get the club 'board' to agree to give me the field without garunteed numbers and a deposite!

If we get a list going, and some suggestions for dates, I'll see what I can do!

1) sharkrider. (+mel and HC)

EDIT!!! if someone else wants to organise it in a different town I would be quite happy with that too!

I think i know where that rugby field is..

One the corner before you turn off to keswick or something i think... right on the main road in the 20 (i think) zone???

That would be absolutely fantastic.

Obviously people would chip in and the rugly club would recieve some money for the use of their field!

its right in the center of town... behind Booths (supermarket) carpark, they have two pitches, a proper one, and a secondary one that they often hire out..... its the same field they use for the beer festival...... next to the CCC site.... stonesthrow from the lake too

as for the money, I think I said £10 per person , per night, and they seemed happy with that......

woo yay! camping meet!!! Although I think we should do bury again, then I can be a wuss and sleep in the bunk house

we should deffo do bury again.... I'd miss it if we didn't go next year! lol....

I know where you mean now... was thinking of another one somewhere else.

That would be pretty cool i think.

Like i say will see closer to the time and get some numbers of people and see how we stand.

Thanks Sharkrider (lets see if your car will be clean this time, tehehe).

lol... I'll just park it near Gilly , and see if he cleans it

the bury one is at an activities centre (a private field) and we've been the last two years, has been really good fun

my highlight of this year, was the 'drunken' "How many people can you get in the boot of a superb, and still shut it?!" It was 4 lol...

lol... sounds fun!

Think we should do a 'drunken' "how many people can you fit in a Felicia"!! I'd bet on 10/11!

We could have a fun pact year then, if the Bury and the Lakes camping is organised!

lol that was funny. I'm so glad no one shut it when I was in there. I'd have **** meself lol

I wasn't there so you can't blame me:D

I would be up for another camping meet, but it would have to be quiet 'cos I go to bed early, and I don't drink, so no pubs for me......
