+TMM-Sarah Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) We've been thinking that as we are unable to attend any of the camping events during the summer due to prior arrangements we might organise one of our own in October, but as we are relatively new we were unsure how well it would be received. Would people camp in October? Maybe looking at Ringwood, near the New Forest. Let us know what you think. Gareth and Sarah Edited June 10, 2006 by The Morgan Mob Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Could be chilly, but I've been to two camping events at the end of October (Halloween related) and while I didn't camp myself as they were both quite local, I didn't hear any 'too cold' feedback. Good luck if you go ahead with it Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Having just returned from Carry on Camping 2006 I think we have 'The Bug' - put us down as possibly maybe. Quote Link to comment
+davy boy Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Just got back from COC,we will be there!! Quote Link to comment
+The Hancock Clan Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 If I can have electric hook up and use my electric heater/ electric blanket and anything that may keep us the slightest bit warm then yeah we would come Quote Link to comment
+The Great Redmondo Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sounds good to us but we would have to be wimps and bring the caravan. Can make most weekends in Oct apart from 6th - 8th (Murphy’s law says that'll be the same weekend). Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Possibly... although annual leave is getting a bit tight at the moment. I too have a heater for the tent, so as long as there is a hookup, the temperature needn't be a problem. We'll see! Cheers!!! Quote Link to comment
Icarus. Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Might be possible. Although I've not got a heater, but if global warming carries on the way it is we won't need tents! Quote Link to comment
+BikerKats Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I have camped in October and been very cold, so we probably wouldn't attend a camping event in October, even though we love camping in the summer. We might attend as day visitors though as we have friends who live near Southampton. Ringwood is a lot nearer to us than Derbyshire and we haven't done much caching in that area.

+currykev Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 As long as they sort out the showers this time.I almost caught a cold I did!!!! http://www.uta.fi/~tero.mamia/mylife/kuvat/life/avanto.jpg Quote Link to comment
+4 Badgers Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 We have rellies in Bournemouth and Blandford so could make it as 'day members' (too wimpy to camp in October!!!) (At least Badger #1 - that's me - is!) Quote Link to comment
+Captain Gore-tex Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 well why not put me the corporal and K9 down Quote Link to comment
The Royles Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 We would be interested (motorhomes have great heaters ) Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 we'd be up for it (weekends only - MrsPP is a teacher). No electic hook up required, as we're not girly wimps! More to the point, I have a 4+ season sleeping bag, and even Dartmoor in January hasn't defeated that! (although it did defeat the water bottle, which froze solid...) Quote Link to comment
+alanann&sparky Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 We'd be there - definately as day cachers or if we get a new tent as campers Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Depending on dates the Phillimore's will be their Quote Link to comment
DaBeEm Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 We should be able to make it, even if only as day visitors Quote Link to comment

+rutson Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Unfortunatly, not in a position to organise anything at the moment unless you happen to have a crystall ball handy, looks like you'll have to do it, anyroadup, you're nearer Quote Link to comment
+Windsocker Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hmmm..... camping park..... Dublin.... now THERE's an idea hehe i have taught of it before but didn't think i'd get many takers due to the location I'm a bit far outside the city Quote Link to comment
