+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 3 weeks to the day for swinging in the trees Only 6 pitches left on the NT camp site so grab em whilst there is still time. Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) A quick update for those attending: Unfortunately, we could not get a booking for Go Ape in the morning, so the booking has been made for 3.30pm. This should give enough time to do some local caches first. The following people are booked in for Go Ape: Pengy Tigger Cave Troll M1EYO Seasider Inukshuk Mini Inukshuk Kiwigary Kiwitulip LordElph Anyone else who wants to swing will have to arrange their booking themselves. This can be done through the Go Ape website. We still have 6 pitches left for camping. You don't have to be taking part in the swinging to come camping.

+lordelph Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 You missed me off the Gorilla list, was I missed off the camping list too? Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 You missed me off the Gorilla list, was I missed off the camping list too? Sorry, I missed you off the list by accident, but you are booked for both! Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 So a boat trip on Coniston and a swim in Windermere are on the cards for Saturday morning then?! I've got details about the cost of boat hire at home - will post tonight. Cheers! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+marinor Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) A boat trip sounds good but a swim? how deep is it? I swim like a true sailor, would rather drown than float as shark food when the ship sinks will see if I can buy a crewsaver lifejacket or similar stay safe Bill Edited August 2, 2005 by marinor Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 A boat trip sounds good but a swim? how deep is it? I swim like a true sailor, would rather drown than float as shark food when the ship sinks will see if I can buy a crewsaver lifejacket or similar stay safe Bill The cache I am referring to is this one... Ling along a lucky ... where you can wade across as the water is only knee deep (unless you are John Stead or Cave Troll or Joan!! ). The Conistion cache is... Swallows and Amazons .. and the cost of boat hire is... Cost of Boat Hire on Coniston ... we would need a good couple of hours on the lake as the cache is about 3.25 miles away so if 8 of us got in a motor boat then that would be £70 between us or £8.75 each. If we can do a list of who is interested then I'll make a booking for the Saturday morning. I should add that there are a couple of cracking real ale pubs in Coniston for some lunch afterwards - will be just perfect preparation for Go Ape later in the afternoon!! Cheers!

+badger Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Is there still room on the boat Seasider? If so can you put me and Bizarre down for a place? Ta Matt Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Last call for any last minute wannabe campers. Plenty of space still available. T Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I would like to go boating if Seasider promises to drive carefully! Not sure about wading though if its going to be over my knees and I don't fancy a piggy back from any of you - perhaps I could bring stilts but I don't think I could learn to stay on them in less than a week.

+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 It's okay John, I'll take a snorkel and you can stand on my shoulders Quote Link to comment

+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Has everyone got their loin cloths ready for this Saturday ? Quote Link to comment
+marinor Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 even the thought of me in a loin cloth has my family in apoplexy, reality would be too much, may one just wear shorts? Quote Link to comment
+Bizarre Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Loin cloths...yuk. I'll bring my whacky pants instead.... Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Loin cloths...yuk. I'll bring my whacky pants instead.... The wackier the better We can't wait for tomorrow to arrive. See y'all there Quote Link to comment
+Inukshuk and Arwen Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 We're packed up and ready and will be on the road at about 1pm so should be there by 3 or 4 all being well. c ya l8r Quote Link to comment
+badger Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Still at work but will be leaving at midday, then on the road shortly after... Oh, and my whacky pants have also been packed... Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Time has crept up on me and I'd forgotten the event was this weekend!! I'll be able to nip up tomorrow for the Go Ape but no chance of making it for camping tonight (and will probably have to come back Sat eve). Let me know if I owe anyone for a camping deposit and I'll sort them out tomorrow. I'll get up tomorrow as early as I can for the boating. Current plan is to do Windermere by motor launch but we'll play it by ear and see what everyone wants. See you tomorrow!! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Well done to all the gorillas and baboons that atttempted the Go Ape course. Although not everyone completed the whole course they all deserve a pat on the back (not just to remove the grit sand ) for giving it a go and entertaining the spectators below. A special mention must go to the baboons as they were only just tall enough and found some of the obstacles quite challenging but dug deep and went the whole way round with true grit and determination.

+Seasider Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 A thoroughly enjoyable weekend! Many thanks to P&T and CT&E for organising such a superb event. A great camping spot made even better by having our own private part of the woodland! Congrats to everyone who finished the Go Ape course - don't know how you did it - Stage 2 was more than enough for me!! Can't wait until next year - if I get more organised then perhaps we can do some boating! Cheers! Seasider P.S. Good luck to Marinor at Starlight Castle! Quote Link to comment
+badger Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 STOP FRETTING... the pictures are ready... A quick visit here will reveal all... Enjoy them, just don't take a contract out on me once you've seen them... Quote Link to comment
