+niknrich Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 How'do folks! I know it's a bit early, but... I'm currently organising a get-together for some friends this summer, and wanted to check in advance whether any events are likely to be planned for the weekends of 4th/5th July or 11th/12th July? We don't want to miss out by double-booking ourselves, so please post here if you have any plans or are aware of anyone else's! Cheers! niknrich Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have a camping event in N Wales planned for the weekend of the 11th / 12th July.... It's perfectly ok for me to move it if it clashes with another larger event, but sorry - I won't move it if it's to fit in with your friends!!! ha ha ha!!! Quote Link to comment
+Snells Pace Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Only one I'm looking forward to, if it happens (hint-hint) is 'Carry Yer Own Camping 09. That's a proper camping event. Not your easy 10ft from the car stuff. Quote Link to comment

+Allanwicker Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looking at taking on the Lancashire event Second weekend in June If that's OK Quote Link to comment
+Skate and Jane Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Carry yer own camping 09 will occur sometime next summer. Not sure exactly when. Haven't stopped laughing since the last one yet. Anyway we have to have another one so Tim can see what he missed Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Looking at taking on the Lancashire event Second weekend in June If that's OK 2nd weekend in June is usually Carry on Camping..... Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I expect there'll be some overlap this year, especially with events at either end of the country. Quote Link to comment
+House Of Boo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Normally we are the 2nd week in June, however due to the way its worked out this year we are holding our 5th COC during the first weekend in June (5th, 6th and 7th). Also this year we are Northward bound (after 2 years "darn sarf") and heading towards Whitby - we can't wait!! As always - pray for sunshine people, pray for sunshine!!

We thought it would be the following w/e and we´ve booked our anniversary trip to the Lakes for the week ending the 7th! We´ll see what we can do about coming across for the Sat/Sun - don´t want to miss out again! Quote Link to comment
+House Of Boo Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Oh no nicknrich - sorry!! Hopefully you can make it!! Thanks for the info Madyokel - this shall be added into the list of campsites to consider!! House of Boo Quote Link to comment
+Madyokel Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Oh no nicknrich - sorry!! Hopefully you can make it!! Thanks for the info Madyokel - this shall be added into the list of campsites to consider!! House of Boo No problem... As I said it's a basic site but friendly. The village is popular due to the "Heartbeat" filming.. Pubs are fine.. The campsite does battery charging and they have a few caravans they will drag up to the fields if you would rather "Tin" tent it withot taking your own.. On a very plus side.. If you are in one of the bottom fields you get to see the steam trains passing by very close. Quote Link to comment

+niknrich Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Oh no nicknrich - sorry!! Hopefully you can make it!! We'll do our best! We're currently discussing how we can fit the camping gear as well as a week's worth of self-catering/walking stuff in our car! We may have to be cheeky and share other campers' cooking facilities etc but we should be able to manage it. It would only be for the Saturday night/Sunday though as we're in Coniston until Sat morning - unless folks are staying on longer. Quote Link to comment

Now you know how us Southerners feel about travelling to most of the other events! It would be great for more cachers to come down to Sam's event, it was fab last year!
