I'll be the same on the day. I know I've got clothes, a tent and a sleeping bag though which is basically it at the end of the day.

Oh, and alcohol

Takhisis · 17 Jul 2005 at 18:59

Ahh thats the missing thing

Going to wait until we've moved to get that else I can see our movers getting too much of a tip

Why is it I'm getting more excited about this than I am moving into our new house

Cos moving house is stressful and camping is fun!

Oooh looks great Daz! I can't wait! I promise not to snuggle too much (just in case I get scared!

).

Mozzie don't bother me or like me anyway - they tend to aim for Gilly anyway

I'll hold you to that - I'm one of the "camp virgins" in the group

Lopéz · 18 Jul 2005 at 09:17

I'm getting excited!

Otacon · 18 Jul 2005 at 09:18

Indeed

Ok, lets do a booze check, no point in us all bringing the same thing

Who's bringing what?

I will be bringing Cobra, Tiger and Grolsch. Oh and either some Sol or Corona, whichever I can get.

Matblack · 18 Jul 2005 at 09:33

A few bottles for the Friday and then I'm going shopping on Saturday morning. I will also find some bacon and have the barbie set up for breakfast on Saturday. Can't promise I'll have enough for 40 people but I will make sure we have fridge space for those who wish to bring their own.

At worst we can head down after work on the friday - we'll be a little late but we'd be there! Main thing is the transport. If I can get my car in a reasonable state then we'll be there. I should know in the next couple of days if that's possible.

We still both really wanna come so let's hope it gets sorted soon!

Gilly · 18 Jul 2005 at 10:05

I'll be bringing everything I can get my hands on that has alcohol in it.

Ooooh, I'll bring my STROH 80 and some Gin in that case.

I shall do the same then

Everyone's gonna bring beer, so I might turn my attention to other stuff. Got a little bit of Absinth left, a bottle of Vodka, will get my hands on some Cider (super cider Sunday \o/).

Actually, I must remember to bring some blackcurrant so we can whip up some snakebite'n'black.

Kell_ee001 · 18 Jul 2005 at 10:13

mmmm.... I'll be getting in some shots me thinks

Matblack · 18 Jul 2005 at 10:14

NB

Vomit does not make good fertiliser, make sure you know your way to the toilets

Not sure on this one.. Was thinking about some bottles of Adnams or other ales, depending on whats on offer closer to the time. My main concern was about keeping drinks cool, to be honest. I don't want to be drinking warm / hot ale on Friday evening after they've been stuck in my car for 6 hours :eek:

I've got a cool bag kicking around somewhere, but I'm not sure its up to the job, its not particularly large, and rather dependant on those ice packs to help keep the temps down.

Hopefully, if I'm there mid-afternoon (all being well, and assuming the Beserker pickup goes smoothly?) the drinks will have had a chance to cool down a bit. If not I'm happy to go off and do a bit of shopping for/with folk when I arrive?
