Looks like I might be able to make this one :)

I'm still toying with the idea of coming down for the wee drive. And maybe travel lodge it in penrith for one night.

thats fine... just get one of us phone number, and make sure you turn up at the campsite before we go driving ;)

I've just been hunting through the photos of the first (2006) bbq meet in Bury to show Katie the pics of the five yellow Fabia vRSs.

It reminded me that I hadn't seen bryand on here for a long time, and I said we ought to try to get hold of him and tell him about this meet.

I pulled up his member page, and was amazed to see he is online now and viewing this thread - what a coincidence!

So Bryan - if you are still reading this by the time I've finished typing it would be great to see you in Keswick. Would send a PM but yours doesn't seem to be working.

He drives a Volvo now and has probably retired, so why should he bother with us commoners....

It would be nice to see him again though.

I believe Bryan still drifts about in here from time to time, but he in with the Volvo crowd rather than us lot these days. :)

Would be nice to see him again though, that man was a walking encylopedia when it came to VAGCOM, general car knowledge etc.

Yes Bryan , please come and see us

Would be good to see you :D

A thoroughly nice bloke :)

Seconded - helped me out a few times and asked for nothing back.

We are thinking about trying to come to this one, a lot depends on money because we are on holiday the week before for 2 weeks. Is it Ok if we let you know nearer the time Mr Sharky?

I camped once when 12. A guide camp. Yes pitching the tent will be fun. I can see it crashing down in the night.:rofl::rofl: But we may me good campers. Not sure how these morden tents work as we used old opens. Will be interesting.

Get yourself to Asda - they've got pop-up tents for £20. :thumbup: We just bought one for the HCs. :D

Still to buy a tent yet, but swmbo's sister has camping gear so we might just borrow that to get a feel for camping and save some cash lol.

Dunno if we be up on the friday night yet or just the sat/sun it all depends when i get my holiday requests accepted at work.

and those pop up tents are cool! nearly bought one for our HC... but she has her own room in our new huge tent now :)

and rememeber, it doesn't really matter how many tents you wanna bring, as you are being chrged per person, not per tent :thumbup:

So if I bring 72 tents and set them up like an Arabian Bazzar will that be ok?

That won't leave much time for drinking!:eek::eek::rofl:

I know Mrs Grupmy said she was going to clear the garage, but how much stuff has she found in there?

Just to confirm I have now managed to get the friday off so should be down in the lakes about 5 or 6pm depending what time SWMBO finishes work at.
