+browni Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Are you able to supply any info on the Saturday part of the event for day visitors yet i.e. pub, time and location. This was mentioned on the event page. I have tried emailing you (the The Morgan Mob) but have had no replies yet, email problem? Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I noticed that you have suggested that we bring a BBQ for the Sat night... bearing in mind this is October, and we can't guarentee the weather, are there any contingencies planned in case of bad weather? Quote Link to comment
+Papakas Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 In case of bad weather the event will be held in Phillimore Clans tent! Quote Link to comment
+TMM-Sarah Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi Everyone, Gareth here. Sorry that we have not been very responsive but we are having a few problems in getting hold of the campsite, I can only get through to the central helpdesk and they will not give me the number for the campsite, it is ex-directory. There comment was "If you want to have a chat with the manager of the site then you should pop in and see him!" I have sent a fax asking them to call but as yet they have not called back. We are currently looking at organising a pub for the day event, but we will keep you all posted as soon as we know any definite answers. Sorry for the confusion caused, please bear with us just a little while longer. Gareth Quote Link to comment
+browni Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks for the update, much appreciated. Hope you get everything sorted out with the site. Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 In case of bad weather the event will be held in Phillimore Clans tent! We can all go around my parrents house, they only live a couple of miles up t' road. I'm sure they won't mind Quote Link to comment
+The_Westies Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've been talked into attending in the hopefully not too freezing cold! Just need to get hold of the site to book now. Does anybody know of any shops still selling disposable bbq's at this time of year? If we can't find one we may have to try and borrow a corner of somebody elses if that's OK. At least we'll once again have a proper sized tent for the event but unfortnately that means I can't use the size of the tent as an excuse for crawling / staggering into it late at night!

+The Great Redmondo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ... bearing in mind this is October, and we can't guarentee the weather.... Our receipt and booking confirmation states '1 Qty - Sunshine - 3 nights'. (Would obviously prefer sunshine during the daytime but at least I'll be able to find my glass/ bottle of wine).

+TMM-Sarah Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 After speaking to the campsite today, it has been confirmed that day visitors are permitted on the campsite. A decision will be made this evening (when Gareth and I can actually get together) on times etc. It is known that day visitors will need to be off site by 10pm to respect the peace of other campers though. It was our intention all along to hold the day part at the campsite if at all possible cos we understand that most of the cachers camping will be wanting to cache throughout the day. Keep an eye out for the adjustments to the cache page this evening. Many thanks for your patience Sarah xx Quote Link to comment
+little-miss-naughty Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 day visitors will need to be off site by 10pm to respect the peace of other campers though. does this mean that we all have to go to bed at 10pm an that we have to behave ??????? lmn Quote Link to comment
+TMM-Sarah Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) I think that refers to vehicles coming on and off site and not to giggling geobabes! Sarah x Edited October 11, 2006 by The Morgan Mob Quote Link to comment
+browni Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 This this mean the pub in the day is a none starter then? Quote Link to comment
+TMM-Sarah Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) The pub was never an idea suggested by us! If you look it was never mentioned on the cache page. Cache page is now updated. Sarah (edited due to being in a terrible mood when writing the original) Edited October 11, 2006 by The Morgan Mob Quote Link to comment
+browni Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sorry to hear you are having problems, but I thought I saw the pub mentioned when the event went live, sorry If I misread the page. Please do not give up on arranging events. Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've got a feeling the campsite owners are right about the sunshine ... I just did a 10 day forecast on the area and it's showing that on Friday there is only a 10% chance of precipitation .... that's pretty good for October. Will wait with interest to see what is forecast tomorrow for the Saturday. It's peeing it down in Berkshire right now! Quote Link to comment

+studlyone Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Got my fingers crossed here that it will be a nice weekend. I'd hate to be stuck in a tent with both my sons for a whole day if its raining - the sound of their PSP's would drive me up the wall. Ian Quote Link to comment

+Gralorn Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 This has the potential for two classic LE videos, 'Geobabes in the Forest' and Jeepers Creeper's 3. Hope that you all have a great time and the weather stays dry. Lovely part of the country and some great caches. We'll be watching for the videos!! Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I know the pub idea hasn't been mentioned on the cache page, but I am wondering if there is anyone local enough to suss out a fall back position in case it is persisting down? Quote Link to comment
+TMM-Sarah Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 There is a pub very local...which we will use as a fall back plan should it be required. However. I am an optimist and feel the weather will be fine! I was out caching late last night in nothing more than a vest top!! Sarah xx Quote Link to comment

This is definitely the furthest I've been for an event, and it was worth the 4.5 hour journey!! The funniest moment was whilst we were stood in Sainsburys in our full Halloween costumes and the lady on the kiosk asking if we were going to a party - I replied with a puzzled look on my face.... NO!! Quote Link to comment
