I will be there on the Sunday, and I will endeavour to drag Mr McB along too! :)

No doubt you'll be fairly easy to recognise by the hood and red flashing eyes!! ;D ;D

I can pretty much see pod (and can certainly hear it!) from my office window and I work with someone who helps out there occasionally - I'll try to get some inside info on camping, group bookings etc.

i am really starting to look forward to this now sounds like this should be fun.

at some point  nearer we should work out who is taking what tent/caravan wise  so we can see who is sharing  how many tents are needed  etc etc and what provisions to take ie bacon/asprins  ;D.

how many will be taking there cars down the track?

this whole meet would make a great dvd for the forum to have,  now would be a good time to have some club  window stickers made up (just an idea so we can see who's who)

Just a thought - those of us that drive estates could quite easily fold down the back seats, chuck in sleeping bag and pillow and.....hey presto! a nice comfy double bed :) Certainly wouldn't be the first time I've had to do that, the only problem is lack of curtains :-/

OK, time to get serious. I can bring at least 2 tents - a 2 man tent and a 4 man tent, so if someone needs to borrow one it's no problem. I can probably also manage a few things like cool boxes for beer (essential!!), gaz stove, kettle and a few pots and pans. Ex-Mrs bob.dent is into camping in a big way so I can also get some bits and pieces from her.

Its near Poddington which is very close to Northampton on the M1.

According to Google Maps: Durham to Northampton is - 205 miles!  :o

On holiday we (meaning ME) have to empty the toilet daily, however the children now do the water cans which saves me one job we use around  40-45l a day but we use the shower.

It can be a bit cramped in ours, but we need 240v for the TV and the PVR
