Men are like a fine wine.
They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh * t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Today is my monthly 'admin' day, so i'm booked in for the 2 nights.
Just to clarify, it is not allocated pitches, just a large grassed area/field so there will be no problems with pitching together (or seperately if you want to avoid Graemes snoring
)
I'm aiming to get there about 4 ish - what sort of times are others looking to land????

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Oooo. I'll probably not make it till 6/7.
Hopefully enough time to pitch, banter and get over to the curry.
Please save me space! Or I'll defect to any other Lotus campers that maybe there

Mine was £12 a night?????
tenner for the pitch, and £2 per adult - yours should have come in at £28 for 2 of you for 2 nights (unless you're going for electricity in a marquee).

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

Mrs Turpin asked me if it was a 2 man tent or bigger. I said bigger. "£20 per night please, and if you stay past 12pm on Sunday I'll part you of your hard earned cash even more". So we'll be leaving 11.59am latest on Sunday.

Ah, thats yer problem - if you are taking a big tent, and haven't got the gumption to say it's a 2-man one, then you pay the premium........
....of course, it all goes pete tong when you complain to the management that you and Sades' tent is actually smaller (in ground area) than my 'one man tent'
