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...

[Elite Pete]

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....  

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........  

[Chopsdad]

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.

[Markie]

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  

[TheBoy]

dont ask

Sorry, I've got to.

Why?

[Markie]

dont ask

Sorry, I've got to.

Why?

cos we (me and her) are not speaking to each other

[Markie]

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   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.

Little OOF's = 10

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....  and a tent or sleeping bag or something...  

Max

[MaxV6]

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...
