2010-03-13/14 - Carry on Camping

I thought you meant toes.

Ha! :)

I thought you meant toes.

No, I meant balls.

Just for info: PHD are having a winter sale which starts this Saturday, but I just emailed them to find out what time it will go live as I told them I wanted to get a sleeping bag but I was going on a camping trip leaving at 8am on Saturday and they said I could order one today at the sale price to have it in time for the weekend. So if anyone was considering getting a new sleeping bag but hasn't got round to it, it might be worth asking nicely. Here's the sale page: http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/special-offers.php?cat=79

tricity: Are you at liberty to divulge how much of a saving you got? I am about to go and buy one so it'd be nice to know... thanks.

No, I meant balls.

Freak.

Yeah!

I'm no freak! I'm just a bit mental.

@Scott I'm gutted I can't come but I posted when I first became aware of the situation. I've already payed in full anyhow. I'm afraid paying rent > camping.:(

They're dropping like flies. I'm tempted to fill someones shoes.
I like camping. I don't like cold though and it's hardly balmy out.

Pedalling = warm
Camp fires and BBQ's = warm
Tents and sleeping bags = warm

@scott/tricity: what time's the departure? I have a sat am engagement so may need to catch you up.

"Scott's initial fears about over-crowding the campsite proved to be a little optimistic "

ha! :(

Yeah, bery shit of me, I notice that slots 7, 10 and 18 are quite busy so they may be able to spread out a bit if they fancy.

just wait until saturday morning. it'll be 12 degrees, sunny, and they'll be falling over themselves to join in.

hrumph, bleedin' fair-weather cyclists.

get back to me on the depart time (and route?)

Bump... in case tricity misses it first time...

I got the Minim 500 M1 for £169 instead of £271. I am SO overdrawn. But on the plus side I am going to be toasty warm this weekend.

Bless you! I will be onto that first thing tomorrow, the office is shut after 2pm.

I'm still in. Booked the Friday and Monday off work to have a nice chillax.

Problem: when everyone pulls out and I'm left alone, I'll have nowhere to stay in London the night before, and I'll get bloody lost on the way. I will be able to properly spread out at the site, though.

Maybe we should change the thread title so that peeps who have been ignoring the thread due to no space, know that there are pitches galore going begging?

Scott, I suppose it's up to you?
