Whilst in Brackley a few of us said how much we would like to meet a few of our nothern friends, obviously easy to say but much harder to organize and find a suitable place to meet. A few ideas were thrown around and Carlisle/ Lake District seemed to be a fairly obvious choice. Would anybody be interested in a weekend meet in this area around June :question
-
Yep im up for that one, just tell me when and where :y
-
Pencil me in :y
-
Could do, but it depends on dates as I'll probably be going to San Diego for a few weeks in June.
-
I am up for that, i think Lake district is probabaly a better venue though, and good drive for the scottish lads, but more traffic for us driving from the south. there would be more camp sites in the Lake district, with quite a few windee roads. Oh and we could to a quick easy climb up scafell pike :y ;D

we could to a quick easy climb up scafell pike :y ;D
Will you carry an oxygen tank up for me?

Better still Marks DTM could help with mods to a wheelchair, and set motorised pulleys up every 70 feet, and weld the oxygen tanks to the back of the chair :y

Only way I'll make it ;) Actually I did make it to top of Snowdon once...
-
Count me in :y, are we going to make a night of it' ie: B&B, camp site, BBQ :y
-
Aye, would be willing to have a go with this, date dependant.
Quite happy to camp / BBQ / B&B / whatever.
Being a tight git, camping would be cheaper, leave more cash for beer!! ;D
-

Think that would be the best idea :y
-
If we pick a day which is likely to be decent weather, camping sounds like a plan :y, that way its cheap, and we can bbq and beer it. Have to pick a campsite that allows this though....

Nice site I know just outside Keswick :
Scotgate, Brathwaite, Keswick, CA12 5TF http://www.scotgateholidaypark.co.uk
Stayed there a few times, reasonable facilites, good for tents or caravans.
North end of the lakes as well, so quieter / nicer than the windermere type places

Sounds good, providing.............................there's a pub nearby ::) ;D
I'll be up for this depending on dates. :y
-
pub, nice ale, very nice food, 2 minutes up the lane
All Jennings ale around there
'That will be a pint of Sneck Lifter for me please landlord'
-
I'll be up for it dependent on date :y
-
I've added a poll so we can get a better idea of when's best.
When you've decided have a vote.
You can chose more than one (I hope!).

Going to a wedding in Greece in the second week of July but if its before then just let me know where and when and I will be there :y
-
First three weeks in June suit me. Any later, and I'm getting set for the off onto the Continent for 4 weeks... ;D
HtH

-
Early June may be a problem for me...
-
Any of the first 4 weeks suit me :y
-
Early to mid June is good for me :y
-
in principle count me in any of the dates ok so far.
Depends nearer the time on wifes shift rota. :y
-
likewise in principle count me in... however weekend of 23/24th june is RIGHT out of bounds for me... it being our wedding anniversary, and date of our annual summer BBQ this year....

Thats easily sorted, combine all three up north, im sure your wife will be well pleased :D
-
i'd probably get away with combining them by inviting you all to the BBQ, but no way would going up north be acceptable to SWMBO..... I've got more chance of a cambelt lasting 400000 miles

I ve seen your garden theres loadsa space for tents there :y....£2.50 a pitch could be a good one :y
-
Oh don't worry Mike.... when the time comes, Invites will be sent to all , I couldn't miss you guys out....
(although we don't normally charge for tent space ;) )
the current garden is less than 1/3 the size of our old one.... (we only moved in october of last year) so we're going to have to try and adjust our ideas of what will and won't fit....
for starters, my 9m x 3m Party marquee/gazebo thing will now occupy the majority of the lawn space...
We're wondering about seeing if it will go on the back driveway , like a massive version of what we did at Jaime's with our little gazebo-tent thing...
Max
-
Great stuff...no need to bring tents then, just some bivvy's and go alfresco :y
-
If this gets off the ground I think I will take the Friday and Monday off and make it a long weekend ;)
-
If this gets off the ground I think I will take the Friday and Monday off and make it a long weekend ;)
Which weekend?
Just curious, unlikely I'll be able to make it.

The eldest step daughter gets married in Greece so I will be away from the 3rd to the 17th July so any of the other weekends would be good for me.

Oxford to Bowness - 230 miles
St Andrews to Bowness - 188 miles
Not too much in it, so it would appear..... 8-)

I think if this is going to happen we need to get somewhere to stay sorted soon :)

Lake District-ish is fine by me, weekend camping (Fri/Sat) is also OK. Easy to do a bit of walking or sightseeing as well as partaking of a dry sherry or two of an evening in friendly company, without a jukebox or darts match in the local pub to disrupt the gags.
Reasonable driving roads there and back (excluding M6) for me, centralish location for most?
B
-
Is it worth getting a list going of who, when and where the person is from so we can find somewhere central :) ie
Elite Pete Northwich Cheshire any weekend in June

One of these could be a possible for me but I'll need to check and see if the sprogs have broken up from school by then. ;)
All I will need to do then is convince SWMBO that Carlisle is a good place to spend all day shopping. :-[
5 - 6 hour drive for me to the lake district ...... so put me down as a possible. :y

Hi all,
This sounds like fun, and I should be up for it, depending on what date drops out of the discussion.
What's the general concensus about bringing "other halves"? Are there going to be a few coming along or are we thinking more of a lads' weekend?
Emma would love to come, I'm sure, but she'll probably get a bit bored if it's a load of blokes drinking, kicking tyres and peering at engines. She has to put up with enough of that as it is! :y
Normally camping trips for us entail a car boot with about 3 cu. ft. of space (enough for tent, sleeping bags and airbed). I think she's trying to work out how many luxuries (multiple shoes and handbags) she can fit in the boot of the Omega.
Cheers,
Kevin

Mrs TheBoy went to Santa Pod and I think Mrs Loo-Knee is coming to the lakes so I dont think it would be a problem but at night when the beer is flowing conversation is bound to be male orientated :)
-
...but at night when the beer is flowing conversation is bound to be male orientated Smiley
That won't be a problem, trust me. She'll hold her own on that score, and we've managed a good few Le Mans trips without bladdered petrol heads being an issue!

the only weekend in june I DEFINITELY CANNOT do is the 23/24th , and the 16th/17th isn;t ideal either...
(our Wedding anniversary and annual BBQ party is the weekend of 23/24th , and the Wife's birthday is the 15th )
leaving the last weekend (30th-1st july) or either of the First 2 (2nd/3rd, or 9th/10th) as being ideal for me.,
So the best looking date all round , so far, would seem to be the weekend of he 9/10th of June.
max .

Well so far it looks like the 9/10th is the best option.........

Lake District in June... well it is a bit far but ok count me in :)
Speaking as the nearest thing to a local... Keswick has easier access, quiter roads and is less touristy than Bowness. And the site is on the back of Honister Pass - tight, twisty and fun for those that like that sort of thing ;)

-
This place is only 10 mins away from Keswick too http://www.rookinhouse.co.uk/adultactivities.php
They also have a camping barn - http://www.rookinhouse.co.uk/groupaccommodation.php £200 for 10 people for 2 nights - ie £10 per night. No beds, but it does have showers and a kitchen. Prefer tent/caravan myself but it is cheap as chips.

I agree, set a date and stick to it. If people can make it and want to come, it makes planning easier. If people cannot make those dates, so be it...

Been away for a few days, just back.
9th/10th June is grand for me, just give me a campsite to throw our tent up and jobs a good 'un. Not really fussy where, happy to go with local thoughts. Prefer less kids running around rather than more (its the old fart, pre-granparent gene present in most of us!!) but not really that fussed. Used to camping in a green field, so no real probs with spade, paper and a box of matches. And she says the same as well.... Warm showers is a bonus, granted! Thats what happens when you have been Scouting for too many years...... :P

We should be up for this too.

Park Foot is a very popular site and one thing we havn't considered is availability for such a good turnout, in June is going to be very difficult. I used to store my Caravan near here and they used to have a Rally field. Some electric hook ups, showers near by and nice and quiet. The owner also runs his HGV from a shed on site and it we need any tools he'll have them. I'll call tomorrow and see if its
free on the 9/10th and feed back when I know. And yes, the pub is less than a mile away :)

I thought he was talking about using peat for fire fuel.
Bit of a Shame, as i thoiught we all generally liked Pete, but on the up-side, that would leave a spare meega should anyone need one :D

And burnt botty hair?
No Man in Black fans here then??
For those that don't know, thats Johnnie Cash, famous singer of the song 'Ring of Fire'... ;D
and yes, matches are for ritual burning of the used paper. Starts the decomposition process off a treat.... :y

Anyone seen the film Jarhead? Star of a Vietnam war moovie gets a punishment detail where he has to remove the cut 45 gallon drums full of assorted cr*p and paper etc (known as Honey Buckets, apparently....) from beneath the stalls of the latrines (or bog stalls, to us Brits... ;)) and then put a good splurge of diesel inthem and set them on fire. Has to put one back when the C.O. wants to go for a dump, then has to do the deed later. Ends up getting rat arsed, then dancing around in a santa hat??
Same idea, but the santa hat is an option... ;D

Sorry guys, Stonefold Rally site now has statics on it and has gone forever. :( I'll start badgering the local farmers next and see if I can find somewhere suitable and available. ;)
-
Been a few times to Motocross in Great Salkeld farmer there might let us use the field there that they use for parking the vans etc? or is that not close enough?
-

TB, Mrs. Loo-knee is coming with me but she did ask if any other women were going... not going to take the girls as i think they will be bored if there ain't any other children going, but perhaps it could be an idea for another met up? :y
-

Shes got to come to make breakfast and do the washing up ::)
-
Me and her will be there, but probable that she will want to go walking/shopping rather than peer under a car bonnet or drink beer and blab cars all day.
Anyone want to take her away for a few hours? ;D

Without wanting to sound like a wido, I can supply a couple of tents for those that dont have, to prevent uneeded costs?

I am in the Caravan Club and at the back of the Site Handbook they have a Commercial Sites Section, there are three sites in Kendal and two sites in Keswick. Prices range from £7-£12 per night.
I know in Keswick there is "Cars of the Stars" http://www.visitcumbria.com/kes/kesmot.htm
I can contact the sites and see if they could accomadate us all if you want me too?

I have spoken to the Lady that owns a Camping Site in Keswick.
I asked about 9-10th June for about 15 tents. I told the Lady we were meeting the Scotish members of our Club half way and wondered if they could put us all up, also told her we were all about 40..... that some of us were bringing wives and children.
She said that it would be £5 per person per night children would be less, but asked if i could call tomorrow with a more definate amount of people then she could give me a price.
So fellas could do with knowing if you think this site is suitable...
It has a toilet block and laundry facilities, didn't ask how close the nearest pub was but will ask.... Anyone think of anything else that need to ask?
As anyone else booked a place as don't want to double booking!
Cheers Daz

Sounds OK to me, "Cars of the Stars" looks good too....
-
Found this site too a little more expensive than the other but there are showers, a licenced resturant and bar and childrens play area (for us who take are kids).
I was only going to take our girls who are 11 and 8 if there are any other children going.

We went to the Cars of the Stars about 12 years ago and the new Bat mobile was there but not on show, so i said that we had come from Stoke-on-Trent to see it, so this women went off and came back with a bloke with dark hair. I told him the same and he took us over this rope fence to this Huge wooden door and into a big garage sort of thing with a cover over something in the centre.. he pulled back the cover and there it stood the New Batmobile!!!!
It seemed so long but very narrow, and the bloke who turned out to be the owner was tell us how it is difficult to see when driving, and i am pretty sure he said i was bumped up when filming.....
Just thought I'd share that with ya!! ;D :y

Nearest Travel Lodge to Keswick is off J40 at Penrith - only 15 miles away via A66 direct. Also lots of B&B in Keswick too.
Nearest hospital 20 miles - only 10 mins if you let The Boy drive :y

The missus doesnt drive and i'd fancy a few pots of Boddingtons / John Smiths or whatever the local ale is is Keswick :) so local B&B sounds good, although might need a doggie sitter then :D
Will havea think over the next day or so as might just be me and wee fella ( he's 9 ) in a tent :)

also told her we were all about 40..... that some of us were bringing wives and children.
**cough** I'm only 31 :) lol

Mentioned this to the Mrs, and she is up for it,
So probably Me, Her, 3 year old and a 3 month old!
Providing I can swap my callout at work.
As for Ale, get a nice pint of Snecklifter
Mainly Jennings ale's there, Sneck is the niceist IMO

The two of us are definately up for it too.
Mmmmm.. Jennings Ale :-*

The Lakes Eh Been Telling The GirlFriend i would take her there for sometime now its only 40 odd mins from my home town which i should give a visit to.
Only Thing About the Lakes is I got Married There in Bowness, Not go memorys now that i am Divorced lol

Mrs TheBoy is insisting (quite rightly) that there are some facilities! After Santa Pod last year, she would like proper toilets and some (preferably hot!) showers....

I've done a search on the Caravan Club website and come up with this alternative.
http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/Planning+your+trip/UK+Trips/Site+Search+and+Book/Club+Sites/Site+Detail.htm?csid=PARK+COPPICE&site=-1®ion=Cumbria&county=Cumbria&facilities=TentCampersWelcome%3bToiletBlock%3b&arrivalDate=9-Jun-2007&departureDate=10-Jun-2007&dateFlexibility=0
It has toilets, showers, washing machine, tumble dryer, and its 400 yards from Coniston Water with it's own launch point for dinghys etc - or my 2 man inflatable canoe 8-)
But don't get excited cos the office is closed until 11am tomorrow so I dont know if its free or available to non club members. I'll ask and update tmz. And yes I am a member :-[

No tents at Park Coppice - but spaces for caravans no problem that weekend. Owner suggested this:
Within 1m though there is a site called Coniston Hall - tents only, no caravans.
http://somewherenear.com/idx.cgi?sessionkey=4620a8e84c88&rlimit=10&east=330801&north=495952&unique_id=3919&placetype=3&o-east=330401&o-north=496297&a=show&zoom=1
Both have showers, toilets and access to the lake and the Tent site is specifially ideal for groups - owner just asks that quiet after 11pm.
So, plan could be to spilt sites but all meet up in Tent venue, have BBQ etc and then walk back up the road to caravan for bed. Map of Tent site has reference to Park Coppice, which shows how near it is.
Spaces availble at both, I'm looking at bringing my daughter 11 with me in van and staying over Friday 8th and Sat 9th at Park Coppice. I obviously won't book until we decide where we going as Keswick and Bowness are still options. So lets decide soon or there may be nowhere to stay. :)

Do they allow bbqs - some campsites prohibit this...

June is a bit late for me :(
However I am going to Scotland late May just after my exams, for a mini-road trip in the Senny! :)
Early June I shall be a tad busy in London...

Much prefer Keswick to Boness, much less touristy, the Scotgate Site i mentioned earlier may well fit the bill.
Seen groups there before, and bbq's, and pub 2 mins walk away.

TB - BBQ's Yes - Open fires No.
Jimbob - Is the site at Keswick free for about 10 tents and say 2 caravans? I assume you are staying in a van rather than tent with the nipper. Coniston as mentioned above is quiter than Bowness but has enough going on, as does Keswick.
-
As I dont have caravan or tent......does the caravan site rent out static vans for weekends?
Also are dogs allowed?

Dogs are allowed but no statics. IIRC Broocie has 2 spare tents up for grabs.

If I remember correctly, they dont take bookings, but is a large site
I will be tenting, lots of space for tents and vans, and they rent out as well, presume they are bookable.

Worth a call Jimbob and then we're sure we have a choice and can book somewhere. Both are on my doorstep so I'll go with the flow 'cos I can (and do) visit both for a day out.

Just checked the website, and they dont take bookings
They also state they dont take groups, although last time I was there, a motorboke group was there.
I guess if lots of people turn up individually, you are not a group as such, ie not the scouts or guides etc.
Dogs are allowed though
Rental vans appear to be weekly, and not cheap.

Isn't it going to look a tad suspicious when a dozen or so blokes turn up at the site all driving the same sort of car :-? ;D

Hi there,
If there is anybody still requiring a tent for the meet then feel free to contact me. I have a 4/6 man three section tent, I got it from a friend and I have never used it, don't know what it is like but should be good because said friend is v keen on camping. Could also get Chopsdad to pick it up because he is in Carlisle aswell. I wont be able to make it to the meet because that is my weekend working. My numbers are 01228 540758 or 07723 356424. Probably have to leave a message as I always seem to miss phone calls. One day I will turn up for something.
Thanks

No problem from me picking this tent up - I may even ask my daughter if she fancies canvas vs caravan? I'll ring Coniston site tomorrow and ask if we can pre book and all set up together - with option of larger tent for some quiet repairs etc and see how she reacts. I may also be going to Keswick at the weekend and if so I could drop in and take some pics of the site etc and ask the same q's. I'll PM Jimbob for details.
-
Silly me. There's only 1 in Keswick http://www.scotgateholidaypark.co.uk/facilities.php
I'll call them tmz ;)
-
:y for the booking thing. We need to get something fairly concrete so all can arrange around it.
The marquee thing was a wee bit tongue in cheek, but can certainly bring a smaller (20' x 10') mess tent. That fits in the car but the marquee needs a trailer and half a dozen blokes with an hour or so to put up. Don't think a site owner would be too happy for largish scale works on her site and the pitch fees for a chunk of canvas that size would be a fair bit, methinks...... ::)

OK here's the latest.
I spoke to both site owners today and have the following to add:
Keswick "No lad, no groups!" but I did manage to talk the old boy around and he said it might be ok, but we'd be on the 'alternative' site, which is adjacent to the A66 - tents only. It does have showers and toilets. Probably free 9/10 June no no pre-bookings and not keen on the size of the turnout, so would not commit to booking.
Coniston "That's a lot of people and I'd need a guarantee that you would be quiet after 11pm as we have a lot of families here" "Of course, we're bringing some kids too" I replied :-X "In that case no problem, you can pre-book and we will arrange to site you all together - just give me a ring with numbers of pitches needed and people per tent"
My big concern regarding Keswick is the uncertainty - tbh if I was driving as far as you guys I'd want to know I defo had somewhere to sleep, rather than driving 15 miles in any direction looking for another site after 5 hours behind the wheel.
Coniston is tourisy and busier, but is in the heart of the Lakes and very picturesque. It is queier than Bowness and Windermere and fine for a base to explore. See map http://www.aboutbritain.com/maps/coniston-map.asp
As a "local" I'd plump for Coniston Hall, for 3 reasons. 1: Pre-booking available. 2: Owner seems more tolerant of our group and 3: I haven't been for ages :y
I have emailed another Keswick site http://www.burns-farm.co.uk/pageController.php just to keep our options open

Coniston Hall sounds good to me :y Its got some very good reveiws http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1693

My big concern regarding Keswick is the uncertainty - tbh if I was driving as far as you guys I'd want to know I defo had somewhere to sleep, rather than driving 15 miles in any direction looking for another site after 5 hours behind the wheel.
Coniston is tourisy and busier, but is in the heart of the Lakes and very picturesque. It is queier than Bowness and Windermere and fine for a base to explore. See map http://www.aboutbritain.com/maps/coniston-map.asp
As a "local" I'd plump for Coniston Hall, for 3 reasons. 1: Pre-booking available. 2: Owner seems more tolerant of our group and 3: I haven't been for ages :y
I have emailed another Keswick site http://www.burns-farm.co.uk/pageController.php just to keep our options open
Sounds great but are caravans welcome as well as tents??

Sometimes it pays to be less than honest..... :-X
Conniston or wherever..... As long as we have a pitch with a shower and a bog within walking distance, we're happy. Not so happy if its within throwing distance of a main trunk route or the local pubs outside smoking area or toilet.... ;)
You looking for deposits up front? I certainly would be!

OK here's the latest.
I spoke to both site owners today and have the following to add:
Keswick "No lad, no groups!" but I did manage to talk the old boy around and he said it might be ok, but we'd be on the 'alternative' site, which is adjacent to the A66 - tents only. It does have showers and toilets. Probably free 9/10 June no no pre-bookings and not keen on the size of the turnout, so would not commit to booking.

that sounds great to me and Mrs. Loo-knee, will you be booking for us all? do you need a deposit?
Are you taking your children too?
-
OK after a long think I propose KESWICK as our venue at Burns farm.
The owner can site us all together with tents and vans, it ticks all the boxes asked so far and transport links are far easier than Coniston and the owner is the friendliest so far.
The nearest pub is 1m away - along a country lane and the only condition is that we are quiet at night, which seems par for the course.
So lets start a rolling list of who is coming, how many in your party, tent or caravan, which nights and I'll then collect bookings and secure the site.
Please keep next post simple for me to understand :y

Unfortunately, supermop (Greg) can't make it as he's off to Ibiza that weekend. Also, I can only provisionally say yes at the moment as it's about the same time I'm due to pick up my new car (more about that another time) and I may have a long journey to go and get it and a lot of money to part with ::). If I can make it, I'll probably bring a mate.

Won't be able to make this one guys.... I'll be in San Diego. Shed a tear for me :'(
;D
-
OK, just added my name to list.
Will you be bringing your Tech2 ?
Don't know yet...
OK, it's just that I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks.
Not sure if/when I can get down to you...
Anyone getting a leccy hook up? The lappy I use with Tech2 has a borderline battery, and about 30 - 40mins is the max... ...or I'll have to bring the invertor and flatten your battery ;)
Free electricity at my pitch 247 :y
-
Chopsdad - my tent is just over 20ft long, presumably this will not be a problem?
Not to me, but as it's 4" longer than my caravan it may cost a few pence extra. I'll let you know when I book the site. And I'll be there about 5pm so I'll give you a hand if Mrs The Boy want's a rest ;)

As I dont have caravan or tent......does the caravan site rent out static vans for weekends?
Also are dogs allowed?
Dogs are allowed but no statics. IIRC Broocie has 2 spare tents up for grabs.
Might not be a good idea then..... :( ....my mutt will find a way out if she wants....shes too nosey....plus i like a bed....my days of sleeping on the ground are long gone ::)

Hi guys.
Regarding things to bring, i do have a large gazobo thingy with sidewalls etc that i am more than willing to bring along if the site owners have no objections to use erecting and providing some folk will help in the erection department................of the gazebo that is :o I also have a largish gas BBQ as previously mentioned. If needed that again i am more than willing to bring along, maybe someone could bring an additional gas bottle? Let me know if either are required.
Cheers and heres to a wobbly weekend, Jez :y

Make that 3 woofs as my two westies are coming too

I think M_DTM said he could bring a friggin great tent. Trouble is, what the site owners say...
I am possibly going to be tight for space, as those who know Mrs TheBoy know she like to take the kitchen sink.
I will be bringing most of my usual camping stuff, including cooker and fridge... ...won't have room for BBQ, though could always get some disposable ones locally...
-
I know the campsite owner might whing but hes making alot of ££££ off us that weekend and where are we going to go if it persisting down. mmmmmmmmmm Pub ::)
Might be worth a phone call.
-
Ive just been on the Burns Farm website and it says Gazebo low season (which June is) £4 bargain.

OK. Tentage.....
Previously half serious and half joking, but...... I can supply a Big Boys gazeebo.... If there is a DEFINATE need (Judging by the numbers, yes there probably is), I can bring a 20 foot by 40 foot white marquee which will take ALL of us easily for any evening get together and, if required, be able to accomodate loads of cars under cover for essential repairs. Could also bring a few tables and benches as well as cooking range etc?? It would need someone local to sound out the site owner as its a LARGE tent, the kind of thing your local village has on the cricket pitch for the annual Fete that you sassenachs always seem to have.... ;D
Will need a fair bit of muscle to erect and unsure of what it would cost, site fee wise, but it is a viable alternative and a free hire to the forum, within reason. Would include a small propane jet burner (needs 240 volts, have small 2 stroke genny needing refurb) and a couple of gas hot water heaters so boiling brew on hand 24/7 as long as someone (not me, doctors orders!) ensured the water bottles were kept refilled....
I would need an answer sooner rather than later as I would need to arrange trailer etc.
Over to the masses for comment and I will go by the general feeling.
ps - Not bringing it would keep my fuel consumption into the twenties or thirties, rather than the teens as it needs the twin axle trailer to hump all that kit........ :y
-
I'm planning on paying a visit to the site soon, just to remind her that we OWN the farm for the weekend and she may as well turn everyone else away.
That way we can be noisy after 10 and not get told off :-[
If not this weekend it will be next. :y
-
i think we maybe need to start a thread of whats needed and who is bringing what......i potentially may be bringing 2 cars ( dont ask) so free space for extra tools etc.
Theres not much on that front i dont have...
otherwise its going to get stacked with stella :y
-
dont ask
Sorry, I've got to.
Why?

seriously - apparently some Horsey auction going on in Carlisle on Friday so MrsMarkie going there en route and will make her own way to Lakes.
So she may turn up with a stud :o or a mare :-/

Drop her off Markie and she can come down with me later - if it's at the Racecourse I'm 5 mins away, and if its at the Auction site J43 that's 5 mins the other way. I'll be setting off about 4ish if that's any good. :y

In the increasingly unlikely event that i'm not working , I will attempt to appear as if by magic , possibly along with the mrs...
I'd much rather be able to be definite about it one way or the other, but work load and production deadlines have well and truly thrown brown sticky smelly stuff at the rotating cooling device of late....
i'm still in the middle of building my new Studio... and am having to juggle contracted delivery obligations between editing in the middle living room, and mixing in another studio near Banbury.... as well as try and build my place...
if Sony (or anyone else) (sorry TB) ask for so much as one bloody more edit and mix change because some director or producer has suddenly had a creatively "inspired" insight... I won't have a single full day off between now and august....
I'm tired, and the Meega is still sulking with a mysterious slight coolant leak....
Should it be possible to appear at all., then i will of course bring some stuff to throw at a BBQ.... :D and a tent or sleeping bag or something...
Max

Oh, and apologies for not being around and sociable much.,... just too damn many things to do, and apparently God won;t let me make the day 36 hours long and the week 9 days...

I'll try to book the Sunday off work. If I can we (me & Mrs B) like to tag along. I'll try to book it the beginning of next week. I'll let you know.

I/m defo going to the site on Sunday (even if it's raining) and will check out any unanswered questions and see if there is anywhere we can use as a workshop (barn?) if needed.
It's not far away now and I have a few PM's asking what to bring etc and some very kind offers from Gas BBQ's to steak so I've started another thread for just such a list....http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1179354052/0#0

You can always cancel it now and get a refund, and travel inthe new luxosupermop barge carrier passenger seat, anyway the lakes will be a lot better than ibiza, you won't know what your missing, you may just regret it ;D ;D

So is this panning out to be a camping weekend in the lakes?
I might be in and I could bring a big tin tent - with a beer fridge ;).
Though i may be dragged along by a Saab as the Omega is still MOT-less.
I will not choose a date as I'm such a new newbie, I'd rather go with the flow [if I can].

Or how about....the most upgraded Omega? ie adding upgrades that your model didnt have....ie cruise/ice (but must be vx upgrade)/auto dipping rear view mirror/electric rear blind/etc/etc......ok you stand no chance if you've got an Elite .....but might be a bit of fun.....and shows that the owner has spent time/money upgrading their omega.....couple of free shandies to the winner? ;)
I wont win, coz the only thing that ive added is cruise ::)
Wot you think? Can you think of another idea? im open to other ideas

Me and the 3 year old are coming up in the wife's car on Friday.
She and the 3 Month old will join us on Saturday, in a hire car
My car won't be coming at all :(
Most of it's engine is in the boot, and my mechanic has buggered off to the TT
I've only heard 2nd Hand where he is up to, he thinks the leak is a pipe under the thermostat he can't seem to get out. Make sense to anyone?
See you then!
