Added

OK its getting busy at the house now, from experience I suspect we are getting to the base line figure so I am going to say that with the extra loos we can handle what we have but spaces at the house are starting to get limited.

I'll be as flexible as I can but I don't think we can take many more in the garden now.

You rang? Unfortunately I'm going to have to put me and Lynne as a no for this, we've both got a lot on and don't think we can make either meet in August. Will let you know if anything changes

Lmao, the images of that made me giggle

Yeah....I was thinking more along the lines of charging phone

No need for charging phone, no signal

Mind you girls with probably want power for curlers and hairstraightners etc eh?

No signal?

Erm.....not that it's important to me.......*coughs*

I can get a signal in two places near my parents house, 200yrds (llalth) up the road in a layby and by hanging out the bathroom window

I don't mind roughing it without most things, I just like being able to text bf once in a while
But hopefully he'll be coming and if he is then I won't care about my phone at all then

You'd better get him on here then, all those coming must have a log on!

Even Heather has one now

I always seem to be able to locate a pub, strangely enough

Good luck with that in St Petrox! Nearest one is at least a couple of miles away over a few cow fields!

I know it's only may, but struggling a bit.

Cant seem to get hold of the person who'd be the best person to have megan for the weekend

lol, looking like it might have to be +1 in mine and 8I3ALL's tent unless a miracle happens and Megan magically becomes happy with sleeping at someone else's house without me being there.

Dont worry, I wouldnt really bring her along, if all else fails I'll just have to not come such is life.

If you would like to bring her then there is another area of garden where you can pitch a tent away from the masses and noise in either direction should not be a problem, its something to consider. PLus I am sure that Ma and Dad would be happy to make the house available to you for bathing her etc.

Just to let you know Nanny Matblack is now on the mend, she has Diverticulitis which is a digestion issue but she will hopefully be there to dance with Gilly

We're treating her hospital stay like an MOT and she should be AOK now

i'm confirmed in the st.davids area of wales from the 6th, takin the scouts camping for a week and i'm required to assist with the transport, but after that i'm free to do what i want (does anyone know how long it takes to drive from st.davids to this place?)

otherwise i have my own 4man tent and will happily take a lodger (eyes up creature ) i'd like to come but i'd have to see what i can do about my transport issue

St Davids > St Petrox = 30 miles

map - www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=51.6404&lon=-4.9288&scale=25000&icon=x
500m from the farm

Blimey thats close, if that is where it is (postcodes aren't too accurate in that area, its too far from civilization) however people who stay there WILL be stigmatised!

Matt, whats the situation in terms of toliet / shower facilities?

i'm no stranger to going "primitive" for a few days camping, but just wondered what the situation was

I am organising two commercial portable toilets from a local company (local to my parents) these will have hot water, there will be a small charge just to cover the cost of this which is about £150. Showers I am afraid are not available
