E2E 2010 camping

[stemll]

OK, following Justin's mail this afternoon, we have the shed in Plas Gwyn.

We also have rooms in the Seaview for John O'Groats (I'm breaking myself into camping gently rather than a full week at a time)

[Justin]

big girls blouse!

got a new tent for this, new camp bed, new sleeping bags, new cooker, all for this. (And because myself and K are camping at the end of CRX when we head to Romania).

or, i just might use my leaky 1 man pop up tent, which doesn't fit the new camp beds, and won't use the new sleeping bag as that'll just turn them to mould before K gets here.

really looking forward to E2E.

I've bought a new tent and a self-inflating sleeping mat.

I didn't think the massive 5 man tent, double inflatable mattress, duvets, pillows, gas bottles, cooker, etc etc, etc that we normally take camping would be a good idea for this trip!

[Justin]

a self-inflating sleeping mat.

So, sleeping on the ground eh?

I had one of those. Rubbish. Even when it is inflated.

[robtpb]

It'll be fine. I have an extra layer of flab that acts as a natural mattress anyway.

We have an 8 man dome but Nigel decided there wasn't enough room so he's bought himself a 3 man He is also really chuffed with the sleeping layout in the shed

Ah well, lots of room for me and Tim and Nigel gets his own campsite bill.

As for camp beds Justin, we don't all have a van and Nigel needs room in the boot for his suitcase with enough clothes for a month and all his make up.

Yours had a puncture though so it was also self deflating

[custardavenger]

Do we need to be booking stuff for this year then or is it going to be the same a last year. odd campsites with no reception

It wasn't the lack of room Steve, I seem to generally wake up at 6:30 these days (even weekends), so that will be fun for you guys when I get up and start moving about when we stay in the shed.

[robtpb]

6.30? Camping? Are you planning on a lay in then? I'm up as soon as it's light under canvas - sleep deprivation FTB

[stemll]

Right, that's it sorted. Car is now MOT'd, Taxed and Insured. Can we start tomorrow please

[custardavenger]

So seriously. What are people doing for camp sites? Just about to book ours but last yeah we ended up at different sites to those booked.

Have I missed an e-mail about camp sites?

[robtpb]

Yup. Pm me your email address and I'll forward it on.

Sent you the email a couple of weeks ago.

Book the campsites we stayed in last year, although, not many need booking other than the Carnarvan campsite. All the rest are turn up on the night jobs.

[custardavenger]

Fair enough, And the night we stayed in the damp field? Can't even remember the name. Is she really going to take a booking from us?

[stemll]

If you're referring to Rachel near Keswick there was a specific note NOT to book that

[custardavenger]

ok so keswick, the place with the worst mobile reception, we're going to wing it?

or do we dress as hippy's and gate crash the fesival?

[robtpb]

Festival? Now you're talking.
