I'm back
& well up for it - any one thought about sponsorship (or did I miss that ) - I'm willing to look into that.
May be a good time to resurrect the 'grapes garment' idea we talked about last year
Cheers

VERY good point SW!
We'll also have room for a couple of passengers with luggage too.
I really hope this happens, and that everyone doesn't whimp out! Actually, I'm usually VERY unsociable, but when some of us met up at Wisley earlier this year, I really enjoyed it. RedThorn and Irie Jan were great company to and fro (if they managed to get a word in edgeways LOL), and Hashette, Stormin Norman, HilaryB, BarleySugar, Dottie, and the others (REALLY sorry (I've had a drink or 2 now) I can't remember everyone I met ) were really interesting to meet, and we all (I think!) had a great day.
It's not long ago that I used to laugh at people who met 'friends' on the internet, but I suppose it's progress, innit?

So, sensible spacing of tents is a must for happy camping, please. I adore you all, but I don't want your feet in my tent thank you.

It did kind of ruin the weekend, and we left early the following morning coz we just couldn't bear such close neighbours - there was a whole field she could have pitched up in!!

That is simply appalingly bad manners. No excuse for it, and putting up with it is not my way!

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.
What would Vedder do?

Can't see Pops being ecstatic at the field getting chewed up
And I really don't want to have to start applying for permits if I can get away with not doing... I don't think we're the type of people to start sueing each other are we?!Kirsty b xx

Still waiting to hear back from the council And I still have no idea how to work out how many tents (and cars, and people) will fit in the field
I've done a screen grab of the Google map, if anyone has any clues how to work it out, I'll be glad to hear
The red out line is the space we can use. The long blue-dashes line is the route cars will take into the field, and the short blue-dashes line is the path to the barn (water, and the loos will probably go next-to (because of the hard-standing
))Attached FilesLast edited by SarzWix; 21-08-2009, 06:04 PM.
