update:

I have been out on the search today, and i now have a venue secured...

Dalebottom Farm,

Naddle,

Keswick,

Cumbria,

CA12 4TF.... DalebottomFarm.co.uk

friday 27th, sat 28th, sun 29th June.

(you don't all have to stay all these nights of course, and no-one has to pay in advance of arriving there!)

prices are £6 per person, per night (bargin!)

when you arrive, just report to reception, say you're with briskoda, so they put you in the right place, and pay for yourselves, and for how long you're staying

I've been to see the dude in charge, looked around, and chosen a field for us... this will be on the proper campsite, all being well.... If its a very busy weekend, we'll get a field just off the campsite, all to ourselves. He knows its a car-club meet, and he knows we'll be sticking a couple of gazeebo's together for people to gather under, we are also allowed to BBQ at our hearts content. all normal facilities, with showers/toilets ect.

at this point we are not limited to numbers, although, if it gets to about 28 cars, he wants me to ring him, and check.......

this is the list so far...

1) Sharkrider, Mel, HC.

2) Gilly, Wibble, HC

3) Loz

4) apd007

5) Mr Grumpy ( subject to Loz bringing a towel, and Gilly bringing his drinking head.)

6) smog monster (subject to dates)

7) Philje123 + OH

8) AwesomeSarah and Mark no HC (yet anyway)

9) PPat + t'wife + sprog (disclaimers apply - see terms and conditions)

yeah, one of the reasons I'm not at the m-sport tour, but there is no reason why you can't do both, dalebottom is only about half hour drive from the m-sport place and I'm sure you'll be ok in the same place, just mention "briskoda " when you get there

Thanks for organising this! You've done a great job with the price etc! £6 is a bargain!

Should hopefully be able to make it over... we shall have moved to york by june but it isn't that much further than lancaster!

Phil

EDIT: The gazebo's of which you speak... we can bring one.. a pop-up one that only takes a few minutes to put up/down! (Good ol' Aldi!)

We'll come.

Is it OK with everyone if we bring our 2 dogs along? They're well behaved and we'll keep them on leads.

1) Sharkrider, Mel, HC.

2) Gilly, Wibble & 2 HC's.

3) Loz

4) apd007 :- interested subject to dates etc.

5) Mr Grumpy ( subject to Loz bringing a towel, and Gilly bringing his drinking head.)

6) smog monster (subject to dates)

7) Philje123 + OH

8) AwesomeSarah and Mark no HC (yet anyway)

10) Vix (if I can get annual leave)

I'm looking forwards to the Gilly and Wibble efforts on putting up a Gazebo . . they didn't seem to realise the poles were of more than one size last time.

Came in handy though.

Can't wait. Nice one Dave!

well behaved pets are allowed, so the dogs should be no prob (as long as they don eat the chickens that run round the capsite!) and the more gazeebo's the better

an told you I'd sort it Rob... it's looking good so far, most of the people who have previously attended the 'normal' camping meet that Andy has organised for the last two years, and I'm sure the list will grow

That also includes the dinner off the BBQ which went missing due to canine intervention last year in Bury.

My faith never wavered for a moment, Dave. :thumbup:

Woohoo, cheers Dave!

Pure skill :P

are you planning on a drive in the laes on the saturday?

davy

are you planning on a drive in the laes on the saturday?

davy

Dave is a driving instructor. It will be sedate and sightseeing

I might pop down on the saturday, as off that week from work , so if there was a wee drive would not mind meeting up.

Davy

lol...

there will be a drive on the Sat..... I was planning to put the two drives together, that I did at the other two meets up here, and will probably be sedate, due to speed cameras and tourists! however Gilly, I will include the special rally stage you enjoyed last time

and as for sunday... some suggestions? we could try and find some way of "messing about on the water..." i know they do stuff like raft building on windemere, or if you're all mad enough we could climb catbells :eek: lol....

Davy

all are welcome, just add your name to the list if you're interested

Going to keep an eye on this one as I'd like to come but it might just be a little too far to convince the family that it'll be worth it Will try though

and as for sunday... some suggestions? we could try and find some way of "messing about on the water..." i know they do stuff like raft building on windemere, or if you're all mad enough we could climb catbells :eek: lol....

Wouldn't mind a stroll up Catbells. As for a drive on Saturday . . . for me that will depend on Friday night.

...or if you're all mad enough we could climb catbells :eek: lol....

Wouldn't Sharp Edge be more exciting, it would certainly make for some interesting stories...

I generally end up in the Lakes early and late on in the summer, might try and make one of those date coincide with this weekend

Do you realise just how hungover everyone is likely to be the next morning?:eek:

Best watch your step then

Seriously, is there a plan for the weekend, or just BBQ and beer (It sounds like I'm against that... lol). Wheres the campsite? (edit - huh, even I can read)

The weekend is basically a massive social do, but there are lots of activities going on if the Bury meets of the past are anything to go by.

There will no doubt be at least one, probably two drives, perhaps a fell walk by the sounds of it, possibly something water-bourne (raft building? was fun last time!) . . . it's a great laugh, no matter what time you come at! (apart from very early morning:O).

I'm sure Dave will be along shortly with any further details.

Yeah, what are the possible activities? They are always fun

Hopefully I will make it for at least one night, as long as I don't get lost etc.....

Will there be any drinking involved?

I only ask because I am thinking of becoming tee-total, and don't want to be tempted........
