Am toying with coming this year myself after chatting with Andy yesterday

Hope you can make it, Pinky. You're an ugly sod, but I do like to see you.  And you make me look even more handsome.

Not seen any mention of a Lakes meet this year .. looks to have slipped away as only about 6 folks went last year and most of those traveled rather a long way.... 

[Darth Loo-knee]

Ok maybe not then...
Will have to go on my own then

[VXL V6]

Sure there was some talk of a Scottish meet at one time.

I was thinking about the Lakes meet yesterday. Newent falls right around when I'm expecting to be having major surgery so I can't commit and probably won't be able to come Lakes would (probably) have been ok

Its not ruled out yet. I was going to look into it again last week, but I had a bit of a sense of humour failure with OOF 

It would probably be around the forum's birthday, as usual, 1st weekend un July.

5-7 th July ?? A possibility .. but would have to purchase a new tent ... last years one now officially wrecked !! and its way too far to take the tin tent for a short weekend

[Andy B]

.... last years one now officially wrecked !! ..

Did I miss something?

Well you missed the Meet ...

I took a small tent that is was some years old, had been well used, and not in the best condition, but with a shelter over the top I stayed warm and dry, and had a good time ..

Said tent was also used in the autumn last year ... much, much stronger winds were giving it somewhat of a hard time, but the final straw was an inebriated idiot gentleman tripping over an extended guy rope on the way back from a very early "hedge ticket" and landing fully on top of the thing. Couple of tears in the fabric and a very bent pole - but said gentleman was unhurt although the bruises came out a day later

I believe the correct phrase is "beyond economical repair" (The tent - not the gentleman)

Ah! I read tin tent on both occasions! 

We missed the Lakes meet again because we were in French France towing our tin tent   ....... 



as I think we might again this year
