For the Devon RSOC show, May 22nd [re weekend away, Friday 20th to Monday 23rd]

Right, had a crap couple months but back on track now.

As much as is possible for me anyway

For those of you that put your name down to come to the event, Focus Boy needs payment for tickets asap and I probably need a lift cos the RS is a bag of sh1te unless I cut the floor out and we arrive "Flinstones" style

But I digress.

I have spoken to a campsite [bird sounded fit too, so I've got first dibs ] 10 minutes from Crealy, tent pitches are £10/night for 2 man and £12/night for 4 man, we can turn up and pay on the days for them.

They have some 5* static caravans still available that will need to be BOOKED in advance, the fitty said it would be £146 for 2 nights, but I think they're 4-6 man sleeping? I know some of you [AHEM MRSFROG COUGH] think they're too good for a tent

This site sounds good because you can keep your cars next to your tents [although its in a field] OR they have a car park with CCTV too, so should be no problems

PLEASE let me know again that you can make it and to anyone else interested, see this post for details and contact Focus Boy with regards to paying in advance for the show, although we can pay on the day

This is gonna be a good 'un

 

I AM NOT TOO GOOD!!! I AM JUST TOO OLD for that camping thing!!!!!


So... we're booking one of those caravans for the 3 of us then Paddy?

 

lol, ok mum

Nah, I got a munchy double blow up matress that fits snugly in my tent with 12 duvets. Its like a harem

 

Chicken.....

I might surprise you..... and buy a tent too....

 

Sounds like it's going to be a right laugh. If we get a tent I am using your shower Nat!!!!

 

PMSL theres gonna be a huge queue for the Frogs shower

Halfords are doing the "festival" deal again, 2 man tent, 2 sleeping bags + 2 sleep mat things for £49.99 bargain

PMSL @ Anna.... Maybe I could make a few pounds!! renting out the shower I mean....

If we DO do camping, I'll have the biggest pack of wipes you've ever seen!! I am not baring any bit of flesh !! Might scare the campers!!
and a triple height blow-up mattress.....
and a 15 tog feather duvet......
and gas BBQ.....
and real coffee....
and portable TV.....
and fridge......

the LOT!!!

 

I'd love to be there but unfortunately the inconsiderate oafs at work have all booked holidays right through May and I have no chance of getting the time off

 

That was a bucket of cold water in my time...


It's devon darling, not the north pole
No, no, no, we go in the woods, pick up some branches and make a real log fire, much more in keeping with camping.
Complete with 5.1 surround sound system, DVD player, etc...


PS: The cossies are staying at home, we are renting a long wheelbase transit van for the week end to carry that lot

 

im still up for it i live local so will be spendin the night in my bed

if not many of u cum down as im only 15 mins away ill put on a little barby for thoses who wish to pop over i only have a 2bed house with small garden

ill pay on gate if thats ok but i dont mind payin in adavance if u want if u get wot i mean

 

5 star

Quoted from the english tourism council:
"There will be a restaurant or other eating area open to you for breakfast and dinner. Alcoholic drinks will be served in a bar or lounge. A majority of the rooms will have en suite facilities."

"Will offer a more formal style of service with a receptionist on duty, room service and a laundry service."

"All bedrooms will be en-suite. Spacious public areas and will have a strong emphasis on food and drink. Room service should be available 24 hours a day."

"Spacious, luxurious establishments of the highest international quality throughout. There will be a range of extra facilities and be amongst the best in the industry."

That's gotta be worth £146 for 2 nights surely

 

I'd keep all that quiet if I were you, or all the ladies will be round in the morning for a shower

But then again, you may want to put signs up from the camp site to your house

 

i went to landram bay with the scouts years ago!

 

lol Greg, 5* caravan sounds the dogs 24hr room service

erm quick question, are going up on the friday and coming back on the monday aye, if so what times ish?

ie. do i need to book the friday off work!?

thankyou please

 

Not sure about actual times rich, I would have thought friday mid/late afternoon should be ok for pitching up, no need to be there for 08:00 am...

If you fancy a bit of a laugh looking for camping gear, these guys have got it 100% right: http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/, there are loads of funny inline jokes in their descriptions.

 

cheers mate,

its not my weekend to work which is handy, and ill book off the friday tomorrow hopefully

 

I'm not sure whats happening with me and work as yet so will keep you posted nearer the time.

Paddy dont worry about a ticket for now as I can always buy one on the day

 

Nath, no worries dude, fingers crossed for ya

Nice one Rich, does this mean you'll be taking the S2??????

 

yea i would mate

just checked at work ive already got the day booked coincedence!!!
im actually doing my physicals for berks fire rescue that day so not sure what time it will all finish
might have to let you know much closer to the event, so will also buy a ticket on the gate if i can make it!

 

Rich

We bought a tent and put it up in the garden last night.

Doesn't come with a plug for the hairdryer though, so it's going back

 

will be leaving soon

 

Unfortunatly due to weather conditions we will not be going, a friend lives in croyde bay, and he said the weather is poo, so its a long way to go for nothing
