+House Of Boo Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 The site has been confirmed, the dates have been finalised... CARRY ON CAMPING 2006 IS GO!!! more details to follow....oooh the anticipation is killing me! House Of Boo Quote
+Alibags Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Count me in. I have checked out the dates in my diary and I can deffo make it. I will book some time off work (travelling/recovery). Quote
+daleswalker Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I haven't made it to an event yet, something always crops up at the last minute, but rest assured if I can make it I will!! it all sounds too good to miss, I've even persuaded Mrs DW that we need a new tent! Quote
The Royles Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 We hope to be there, depending on exactly where it is Quote
+little-miss-naughty Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 will be there if work permitts. prob just me going all on my own scary!!! Quote
+House Of Boo Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 *Bing Bong* Hello campers! So here are the basics so far: 58 people are allowed to camp (60 including the House Of Boo) this is the maximum number of campers allowed on site due to facility restrictions! Dogs are allowed, but they must be kept under control and supervised! Caravans are unfortunately not allowed (but there will be a contingency plan for cachers who will only stay under a solid roof, but we wil have to do more research - oooh mysterious). The nearest cache is a pleasent one and a half mile stroll away. Theres 50+ caches within a 10 mile radius (meaning cars will be needed...but then again when arent they)! More information will be posted soon... House Of Boo BTW -prelimanary bookings are already being taken via email so we can get an idea of numbers at an early stage! *Bing Bong* Quote
+Alibags Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 email sent, time booked off work, caravan spoken to nicely and re-assured that I still love it, tent checked out.... count me in!!! Quote
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 is it a campsite you are going on? or just a farmers field, is there a leccy supply? can us vanners not go in the next field? like last time if we are going to be on a seperate site altogether from everyone else then we wont bother, tis a shame cos we were really looking forward to it M Quote
+House Of Boo Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 Before the west side story of campers vs caravaners begins, let us make some more enquiries about whether we can wangle some wagons on site... No promises but we can but try! House Of Boo Quote
+Alibags Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 My caravan is actually SMALLER than my tent... and I don't require any special facilities. It is well used to going 'off piste' in muddy, sloping tussocky cow fields. If you wangle it onsite, I will let you keep yout booze/milk in my fridge Quote
Deego Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 My caravan is actually SMALLER than my tent... Well put your tent over the caravan then Quote
+Alice Band Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 All being well I'll be there Will there be a tent size restriction? I only ask as I have a monster family tent with East and West Wings, servants quarters and an extensive wine cellar... Or do I bring my basic four man [read two] sized tent? Quote
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 if you can wangle caravans on site and Ali is going to keep the milk and beer in her fridge we will charge up the laptops, pdas, phones ect ect lol M Quote
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Come on , tell us which site it is as we used to regularly camp on a site that was tents only at Monsal Head. Oh yes email sent early this morn for me n Joan Quote
+Alibags Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Get that cache page up, <lash lash> I notice that there is a July event page already up. The 'hide the caravan in the tent' wheeze sounds good. Unfortunately, my tent is a bit shorter than the van, I was referring to floor plan and overall volume. Am I giving you a lift then, Alice? If so bring the SMALL tent Quote
+The Cache Hoppers Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 First to book some space in Alibags fridge if she gets to bring her caravan along! Quote
+Alice Band Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 If so bring the SMALL tent The four man folds up teeny Why do they always put tents in such tiny bags that you spend half an hour wrestling with to put a rapidly unfolding tent into? Will bring large expresso maker and 'real'coffee for the coffee monsters Quote
+GAZ,NES and LAYLA Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 AGGGGHHHH Laylas GCSEs are right on these dates....including the FRIDAY and the MONDAY..............BUT we are hell bent on sorting summit out.....Just cant miss this event !!! IT WAS SO FAB last year we GOTTA get there this year too. I hope Big brother aint around that time!?!?!?!?! ********MANDY*********** Are you taking the tele?????? NES xxxxxxxxxxxx Quote
+Us 4 and Jess Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Nes we aren't going if there are no caravans allowed You will have to find a hill to climb and put the telly and aerial on your back, till you get to the top, to watch big brother M Quote
+GAZ,NES and LAYLA Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 AGGGGGGHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO !!! We better hope HOB can sweet talk the site owners to allowing caravans then. Mandy.....you have to come ......who else am I going to have coffee with at 3am ????? Lets keep our fingers crossed caravans are allowed. Nes xx Quote
Sparticus Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Looks like my caravan is staying at home then. I'll have to rough it with the riff raff. Email sent. This is a must do event. Quote

+Laughalot Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Looking into getting time booked off work for this one - missed it last year as I was on holiday - can't face missing another. Oooooo excited already. Cheers, Laughalot Quote
Da Rubber Chicken Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Wont be able to make it due to a certain person saying they dont wanna see me/talk to me ever again you no who you are. Have fun, It sounds like the best cache event in the world lol. Da Rubber Chicken Quote
+Team Vorvik Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 We hope to be there as camping is our other hobby/craze so count us in. one tent, two people plus new addition due in May (unless granma can have her) so count us in either way will be nice to see new and old faces with caches in with the bargain Quote
+House Of Boo Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 Hello Geocampers Just a quick note to let you know that we hope to have a proper cache page up and running shortly. We have spoken with the campsite owner and they are unable to accept caravans - sorry!! We have looked into alternatives and we are hoping to offer use of a camping barn to those who dont want to spend their weekend under canvas. More details to follow!! In the meantime we are just confirming who we have pencilled in as attending. We have received email confirmation from:- Us 4 & Jess Bizarre Matt Waggie Cachehoppers G Force LordElph Alibags Philimore Clan Pengy & Tigger Gaz, Nes & Laila Snerbe Cavetroll & Eeyore Aliceband Moote Beddlington Duo Sparticus Laughalot Team Vorvik Browni The following individuals / teams have expressed their interest on the forum only (if you do wish to attend - please can you email us - as we are very close to our limit for the campsite):- Golem Wozere YorkyPud Deego Alma Lizzardman The Hancock Clan Daleswalker The Royals Little Miss Naughty BareClawz The Northern Invaders A huge thank you to everyone for their interest in this event!!! House of Boo Quote
+BikerKats Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) We expressed interest too! We are still keen to come, but daughter is taking one GCSE this year, and we still don't know the date(s) for that. If she has completed her exams by then, we will come; if she hasn't, we won't. If we do come, there will be four of us in a large tent. Would still like to know cost and location, before we are able to confirm. Many thanks. Edited February 10, 2006 by BikerKats Quote
+The Hokesters Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Doubt we will be able to camp anyway but its in our area so would like to pop in - is that possible? Where is the campsite? Quote
Deego Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Doubt we will be able to camp anyway but its in our area so would like to pop in - is that possible? Where is the campsite? I am hoping to pop in as well (I am in the next county so doubt I will be caming either) , but dont let that put anybody off Quote
+THE COLLIE WOBBLES Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 The Collie Wobbles will be in attendance. After a fab House of Boo Lakeland cache bash last year how can we not attend this one. 1 Tent. 2 Adults. 1 Border Collie. Quote
+rutson Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 In the interests of our fellow campers, I suggest a 'one drink per person per night' policy at the event: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Quote

Sparticus Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Just got my computer attached to the internet (temporarily after the move to Wales). Just wondering Pete if the dates have been finalised. Is it the 6th June? Quote
+stora Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) The site has been confirmed, the dates have been finalised... CARRY ON CAMPING 2006 IS GO!!! more details to follow....oooh the anticipation is killing me! House Of Boo Sent you an email about a week ago, 1 tent two ppl.

johnzissler Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 *Bing Bong* Hello campers! BTW -prelimanary bookings are already being taken via email so we can get an idea of numbers at an early stage! *Bing Bong* Hi, As we are Geocachers of only 2 days standing may I ask a simple question. How do I book a place at the Fun Palace, otherwise known as Carry on Camping in Derbyshire. ? Regards Red Squadron (John& Ann) Quote
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Bump. Any updates on which site it will be? Quote
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Bump. Any updates on which site it will be? Any news ? Quote
+The_Westies Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 BTW -prelimanary bookings are already being taken via email so we can get an idea of numbers at an early stage! *Bing Bong* Hi there. Are there any camping places left for a family of 3? Would love to combine 2 hobbies together at once. Quote
+BikerKats Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Is there any more news on this? We are still hoping to come but still waiting for confirmation of our daughter's exam dates. We would like to know the location and cost if possible. Many thanks. Quote
+Alibags Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I don't know if House of Boo are around and online at the moment. They have not logged the caches they did in far away parts of the country last week, so perhaps they are still away? Quote
+House Of Boo Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 Evening Campers Sorry for the delay - but things have been hectic at the House of Boo!! We have carefully checked and double checked the emails we have received from people wanting to book their slot on the camping event and therefore can confirm the following. At present we have a list of teams who are attending and a reserve list. As we have had such a fantasic response we have had more people applying then we actually have space for. Therefore if anyone drops out from the main list we shall contact the first name on the reserve list to fill the space (I hope this makes sense). So the teams / individuals who are booked for the camping event are:- Bizarre Matt Waggie Cachehoppers G Force LordElph Alibags Philimore Clan Pengy & Tigger Gaz, Nes & Laila Snerbe Cavetroll & Eeyore Aliceband Moote Beddlington Duo Sparticus Laughalot Team Vorvik Browni BareClawz Kiwi Gary & Tulip Ma The Hancock Clan Little Miss Naughty The Collie Wobbles Team Stora The Northern Invaders Wozere Bud Lightbeer Drums4Monty Ryker Us 4 & Jess Scooby, Scrappy & MP Yorkypud (visiting but not camping) In the next few days an email will be sent to all of these teams / individuals confirming that they still wish to attend, and if they do what they need to do next. The reserve list is currently The West Viewers Red Squadron DavyBoy If anyone from the main list drops out the teams on the reserve list will be contacted (who ever contacted us first will be given priority). The actual event page will be hopefully finished this weekend and will (fingers crossed) be live from next week. We can once again confirm that the event will take place in Derbyshire from Friday 9th June to Sunday 11th June 2006. House of Boo PS: If anyone would like to be added to the reserve list who is not listed above please email us your name and details - thank you!! Quote
