Agreed Daz, probably a good idea to start a 'Newent 2010 Confirmed List' thread with the usual 'do not reply' heading.

Don't mean to hijack things, but should now read:

1. baron von Drunk-a-lot (Tent)

Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 26 January 2010, 22:28:43
The Site has been booked again for the first weekend of September, Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th.

This family site is lovely and we have been there and enjoyed it for the last three years.

The Site accepts both Caravans & Tents.
 
Prices per pitch have gone up this year, but with us going for the Fourth Year the price to us is still £16 per night for both Tents or Caravans. A deposit of a £10 cheque made payable to    Mrs. G. Davis   dated 3rd September 2010 will be collected by myself (PM me please for my address).  I will then collect the remainder of the money myself from everyone when there and set up.


I have sorted with the Owner that all bookings will go through me again for this weekend, NOT people booking themselves over the phone. Sorry about this but it caused alot of confusion in the past.

If you are wanting to go for a week like some members did last year, please will you only then contact the site directly.

As soon as I recieve deposits I will make a "Confirmed List" as a separate thread.
So if you fancy going please add your names to the list below.

Cheers
Daz

1. Sethsmate - Caravan
2. Dad1uk - Trailer Tent
3. Entwood & Mrs E - Caravan
4. Loo-knee - Tent

Lets face it, I've turned up to Newent in the superior Rover before (due to Mrs TheBoy nicking the MV6 for a girlie weekend).

I do hope to turn up to Newent in the MV6 this year, but only time will tell  :-/.  I certainly aim to turn up in something, even if I have to scrounge a lift!!

Same here, infact I have done a few times. I love our little 25 Diesel :)

Well, as it turns out it looks like I'm going to be touring Scotland in the Westfield the week following Newent. That makes Newent a handy staging post on the journey. Maybe Alton->Newent Friday night, try to get the serious p*ss up over with on Friday, early night on Saturday, Sunday Newent -> Glasgow to meet up with the nutters from www.se7ens.net then onwards into the highlands.

It's a great plan, with only a couple of flaws:
1) Early night on Saturday...  Hmm. ::)
2) Westfield is currently in too many pieces, but will be fixed by then.
3) Camping setup is going to be a bit minimal with a weeks' luggage as well.

Got to be a winner, though. :y

1) being the complete flaw in your plan ;D.  Is Mrs KW insured to drive the Westy at least part way to Scotland, whilst you sleep it off (if you drink enough, I bet you could sleep in it)


3) I guess you only need a small 2 man tent and a couple of sleeping bags.  There will, I'm sure, be enough kettles/gas/cookers/knocking around there?

You will insist that Mrs LD spends the days leading up to Newent in the kitchen.  She says they keep for 2 weeks or so (not tested that claim myself ::)), so as long as you keep your gob away from them ;D


There, problem sorted :y - just don't bring anything with handles on to Newent that Mrs LD can use as a weapon to batter me ;D

Just looked again at this. Unfortunately I'll have to take unpaid leave from work (something else came up and needed the time I had available :() and with our holiday a couple of weeks later I don't think we'll be able to make it :'( :'(

Oh well... Next year

It's a shame as I was going to get the gnome to do my handbrake and also going to fit front discs and pads and give the car a thorough check over for the 3000 mile plus road trip a couple of weeks later ::)

No need to rub it in :'( :'( :'( :'(

I may well be a late addition. I'll have to take a view on it much nearer the time but if I/we do come we may need to scrounge some sleeping space in someone's tent (we have an offer already but not sure if he'll be going either) and some cooking facilities. Sure we'll manage though!

TBH, I doubt we'll come. We're off to Italy 10 days later and that has to take priority :y

There will be plenty of cooking facilities I'm sure.

Depending which tent we take, we have room for 0 or 1, so can't help on that front ;D

Must get a cheque in the post. :-[

Still hopefully on schedule to appear, in the Westfield, en-route to Scotland. Will also have absolutely no facilities other than (hopefully) a tent and a couple of sleeping bags due to lack of boot space. On past experience that won't be a problem, I'm sure. ;)

That will not be an issue :y. At worse we will have to send out to top up supplies on Saturday, dependent on whether I bring the decent fridge or just the electric coolbox.

If it packs small, I'm sure I can find room for your camping gear in the car if you don't want to lug it around Scotland.

The Site has been booked again for the first weekend of September, Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th.

This family site is lovely and we have been there and enjoyed it for the last three years.

The Site accepts both Caravans & Tents.

Prices per pitch have gone up this year, but with us going for the Fourth Year the price to us is still £16 per night for both Tents or Caravans. A deposit of a £10 cheque made payable to    Mrs. G. Davis   dated 3rd September 2010 will be collected by myself (PM me please for my address).  I will then collect the remainder of the money myself from everyone when there and set up.


I have sorted with the Owner that all bookings will go through me again for this weekend, NOT people booking themselves over the phone. Sorry about this but it caused alot of confusion in the past.

If you are wanting to go for a week like some members did last year, please will you only then contact the site directly.

As soon as I recieve deposits I will make a "Confirmed List" as a separate thread.
So if you fancy going please add your names to the list below.

Site Link

Cheers
Daz

***  Please remember to add your forum Username + Real Name + Tent or Caravan in a note so I know who is who ***

*** There is no charge for people coming for the day ***

[size=12]If anyone remembers, try to bring a bag of logs for the Saturday night burn-off. [/size]

One like this will do!  ;D

(http://www.woofwoodfuel.co.uk/images/Bulk-bag-large-kiln-dried.jpg)

Last year we had two of the wood burners that you can see below:

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4885161146_9ac548e114.jpg)

If enough people bring a Small bag (they only cost a couple of quid) it'll save us having to go on a 5-mile wood finding trek through wet fields again, plundering stocks form the back of garden centres!



Last year the flames were reaching about 15 feet!  ;D

Is there a list of "jobs" being compiled anywhere ??

I'll put in a bid for "someone who knows" to give my front suspension/steering a good look over and tell me if/what needs replacing please .. :)

If this is possible would axle stands be needed /useful ??

I'll be bringing my tools which includes locking kit, ramps and stands.  Chris is going to help me do my rear bushes and I'll be doing my rear shocks/springs while I am at it.  Hopefully someone will be bringing a spring compressor  ::)

Will be there during sat, but a little unsure if we will stay overnight or two, is there any problem paying on site accordingly? Fri and Sat night looking most likely though tbh.  :-/

Is there any way of adding the camp site address to the first page of this thread? Saves reading the whole thread to find it? Or is it somewhere obvious already?

You want to drag her off a sun bed in sunny Cornwall your a brave man, it is her holiday first and for most which she badly needs, so I will be cutting it short to play cars, I'm getting away with murder tbh. Although she is a people person,  so won't want to say no, and will enjoy the chat no doubt. We both knackered tbh.

Found the tent btw, but it's lashing down, too wet to check for moth holes etc

Thats the plan..

I saw one of these at a friends BBQ a few weeks ago, very unusual, took me a long time to find a thing about them on google.

Anyway, he has made me one to bring down, and I hope it will work as well as the one he did.

Mole holes were a problem at the Lakes meet. The hazard at Newent was ropes holding the tents up. For confirmation of this ask Mr. Dent ::) :D

I know Mike Dundee's doing his famous Thai curry on Saturday but I'm going to try and squeeze the gas barbie in which is going to be tight as I'm bringing a set of alloys and tyres with me for a member who's dropping in Sunday to collect them.

Doh......plans keep changing faster Ashley Cole's girlfriends!! Was coming down Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday but now son Greg can't get time off work Friday so looks like we'll be arriving Saturday late morning /lunchtime. Ah well, it's one less hangover I'll have this weekend!! ::) ;D
I know Mike Dundee's doing his famous Thai curry on Saturday but I'm going to try and squeeze the gas barbie in which is going to be tight as I'm bringing a set of alloys and tyres with me for a member who's dropping in Sunday to collect them. Anyway, if I can fit it in it'll be fired up as usual for most of Saturday afternoon and evening for anyone getting peckish (supply your own grub). :y
Bob - check with people onsite if BBQ needed before packing that, as I believe someone was bringing one :y

Really gutted we can't come... Even today I was considering taking the weekend off unpaid and coming anyway! :'( :'( :'(

SWMBO did talk sense into me though... It would have eaten into our holiday money! ::) ::)
you getting tempted then paul. ::)

Yep... Very tempted. But can't justify losing 2 days money this close to our holiday, especially with the other works going on at home and the expense of that. :'( :'( :'(

How about a 2003 3.2 Elite estate for £400? Would that tempt you to come?  ::)  :D If you reeeeeeally twist my arm, I might throw in a Mars Bar.

That would certainly tempt me! ;D ;D ;D

Drive safe peeps, I'll be leaving about lunchtime also.

Gutted though, properly whacked my thumb with a hammer yesterday so gonna have an uncomfortable time spannering.

I was sorting my tools and found a screw-loop I'd bought. It's to fit to the side of the garage, to attach the dog lead to when I'm getting my bike out. I didn't need to do it yesterday and tried to bodge it by stretching up rather than getting the step ladders out...and paid the price.

Bloody typical! >:(

Yes, as per usual was a cracking meet.

I love having a chat and meeting old and new faces

Good to get some jobs done, and nice to do a few unscheduled fixes too

Fixed her door checkstrap I thought was beyond repair, entwoods trackrods etc.

Excellent meet (as all the OOF meets always are  :) )

Thanks to Loo Knee for arranging the meet and all of us as we arrived.

Thanks to Mick Dundee and Mrs Dundee for the excellent Curry and Tony H for the excellent burgers.

Thanks to Dad1UK for the use of his BBQ and Bob Dent for the replacement gas bottle (followed by my Mrs with another one just in case!!!)

Thanks to everyone who tidied up (I feel guilty for not being vaguely alive / human this morning and poking my head round the hedge to find everyone else had cleared up  :-[ )

And thanks to everyone else, as I have no doubt I will forgot a few!

In true VXL style we managed to break something on the cars on the return - Front N/S bearing is noisy on the 3.2 and the DTi has a nice crack in the windscreen!!!!

Oh yes, the firewater, Micks and H21, both very different brews and both very moreish, and later noticed my legs starting to disobay me, most amusing, as I felt I was handling it well otherwise. I started to develop a bit of a giggle walk...... ;D


 Meybe should not mix with lager.  ::)

Excellent meet (as all the OOF meets always are  :) )

Thanks to Loo Knee for arranging the meet and all of us as we arrived.

Thanks to Mick Dundee and Mrs Dundee for the excellent Curry and Tony H for the excellent burgers.

Thanks to Dad1UK for the use of his BBQ and Bob Dent for the replacement gas bottle (followed by my Mrs with another one just in case!!!)

Thanks to everyone who tidied up (I feel guilty for not being vaguely alive / human this morning and poking my head round the hedge to find everyone else had cleared up  :-[ )

And thanks to everyone else, as I have no doubt I will forgot a few!

In true VXL style we managed to break something on the cars on the return - Front N/S bearing is noisy on the 3.2 and the DTi has a nice crack in the windscreen!!!!

At least we'll have plenty of gas for next year!! ;)
(mind you there was plenty of gas around the following morning ;D)
Many thanks Andy for fitting the door lock solenoid and getting my central locking working again - top man. :y :y
A fantastic meet again, they just keep getting better.
Also as already said, many many thanks to those who cleared up in the morning, I was a little late in rising and I'm blaming Dundee for plying me with 65% falling over water! ::) I came over to assist with some clearing up and washing up but it had already been done. :-[ Good to see plenty of old faces again and a few new ones. :y
Had the apprentice OOF BBQ chef with me this year so well done to Greg for giving me some time off. :y

Thumbs up from us too.  Good meet.  Getting there, slowly, with everyone - another few meets and we should get to know you all better still.

Thanks Loo-Knee for persevering with the cooler sealing on mine.

Enjoyed the site but must take less 'stuff' - still tricky repacking it all.

Mostly away now, tent covers to dry - later ....

A big belated thanks to all who organised, fed, watered and transported gear for us this year. I'm aware we sponged a bit due to the limited provisions we could bring this year.   ::)

Was good to meet all the friends old and new. :y

I am sitting in a hotel near Aviemore - watching the rain. ::) Decided to give the driving a miss today.

The Westfield did the 330 miles from Newent to Motherwell on Sunday with no problems at all. Weather was kind to us too after the initial showers at Newent. Arrived about 7 pm just in time to prop up the bar. ::)

Monday saw 250 odd miles up to Aviemore, most of which was pretty hard blatting, culminating in an awesome stretch over the Cairngorms. Again, car didn't miss a beat.

Tomorrow we're taking a suitable scenic route up to Brora where we'll be staying for a couple of nights.

Cheers for now

Kevin

Sadly two things came up. One being work and the other tearing my ligament on my knee.  I would have loved to have gone but there's hopefully next year.  Still glad I was missed even if it's only for being the fool ;D

Always good to see you Jcb, and Mrs G was asking, think she was hoping to see Mrs Jcb at Newent as well.

All the best with the knee or knees? TB fell over at Newent as well, too early in the evening to be pessed I think.

That was my knee giving out.  Somebody did tell me what might be wrong with my knee, but can't remember what/who.  I do remember them saying if is swells badly in next couple of weeks, I need to register with a quack  :'(

If it was the conversation we had, I said you might have damaged one of the fluid sacs, if that gets infected then, you will have biger problems ....

Long article on the problem here ..

http://www.medicinenet.com/knee_bursitis/article.htm

the uninfected problem is "aseptic bursitus"  .. if it gets infected   "septic bursitus"

Of course I haven't registered, only been here 9yrs.

Quacks are a bunch of gay poofters anyway, I ain't letting them fondle my balls.

I suggest you get down there sooner rather than later.  Scar tissue can be avoided with physiotherapy now or surgery later

I guess I need to avoid aggrevating it - trouble is, as it doesn't hurt until I kneel on it, I keep forgetting about it, kneeling on it, squealing like a girl...

...any tips to prevent kneeling on it....

I use a support bandage and try to keep the weight off it.

TB that's what was originally diagnosed at the walk in centre - then a visit to the quacks told a different story, it's exceptionally painfull and requires rest and no weight to be placed upon it, I'm on crutches at the moment and I would advise you visit your gp. You do not know what long term damage you are doing by avoiding the inevitable.  All the best and drinks copious amounts of whisky accompanied by mind altering medication, well helps me sleep ::)

Same here.Don't get dispondent though I had suffered from bad Knees since my early teens, My dad had arthritis and rhumatism so I thought it's just the way it is genetically. My knees got really bad in my late thirtys and early forties, however I'm now the wrong side of fifty and the Knee problems have dissappeared with no treatment, surgery, drugs or change in life style. I don't know why but long may it continue
