Camping 21st-24th August

[ShaunM]

Nick, glad your car is better

You mentioned ideas. I'd like to visit a national trust place if possible - I think they would make good leg-stretch breaks! Near to theelanman's place there are the following:

Penrhyn Castle

Bodnant Gardens

I've got a National Trust map with hundreds of places on, if anyone is interested, you can get a free map from here:
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w- ... _guide.htm

Hope that helps and doesn't add to the workload for organising this!

Thanks

Sure you can, just turn off the M56 at the wormhole & you're there!

Sounds like you've made some good plans there, Nick. Maybe a bit busy though. Things usually take longer than you think.

[ShaunM]

Nic, nice one again for putting the effort in on this.

Just to add my 2 pence worth. I'm quite happy to get up and drive at 6am when the roads will be clearer. I'm not saying that we should all do that, but I'll probably do a bit less drinking on the friday night and get up early on the saturday morning, go for an hours drive, then return to the campsite for breakfast and packing up, etc.

Saturday night, the vodka will be flowing though

[ShaunM]

Oh, and by the way, I MUST get a picture of me next to a road sign that says Capel Curig. (Half Man Half Biscuit song)

[G UK]

Right, thats my Airfield Fire duty swapped with somebody else as it happened to fall that Sunday so the weekend is now clear. The IoM problems should also be sorted by then with the possibility of a couple more upgrades also if I get time!!

[nicowalker1]

right im back from holiday now so ill crack on with plans over the next week, I agree Shaun the driving would be better earlier, if everyone is up for it then thats what we'll so. Ill give you the task of getting kim out of the tent!!!

[ShaunM]

Hey Nick, hope you had a great time on holiday. Think your comment about Kim maybe a little unfair she did lots of organising and was being "mum" for everyone last time

Anyways, if all else fails, you could tell her she can drive

[nicowalker1]

hehe Shaun i entered the relationship promising never to lie, so to tell her she can drive would end that straigt away... (only joking i would let her drive if i didnt want to so much)

[nicowalker1]

Hi, could i have a list of confirmed people as i need to start ringing round to book etc...

Cheers
