Maria.... get yourself in a tent hun! You'll love it!

Will be probably bringing the 8 manner so there's plenty of sitting room......

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well i might have to if you cant pitch tents where the pods are!!

 

I don't mind tents at all, the only ones I can't be doing with anymore are the ones you can't stand up in..... gone are the days when I wriggle around trying to get into mi clothes....

 

bump! for all the nighties!

 

Can we make it on Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th 2009 please?

(July is good cause of weather, and it doesnt clash with any of the big ford shows on that date as far as im aware )

Plus its 2 months after the May ring trip, and 2 months before the September one, so nicely slots in the middle there too

If so, Im definately up for it

 

aslong as work does not throw a spanner in the works 11th and 12th is good for me

 

and me

 

T In The Park weekend for me!

 

Bit later would suit me personally, but ya gotta please the majority!

I'd have thought early September would have been ideal as it's after all the main shows that I know of, and should be a little quieter, but weather still good. In fact, early to mid September seems to see the best weather in this country, I can't remember it raining during that time for many a year!

 

sep would be cool as i'll be a pikey student by then so no time off issues!

 

Hmmmmmmm

 

lol maria!!! Still not too keen on a tent???

 

Tell u what M u can share a tent with max and/or maddie if u want?!!

They make ermmmm nice company

 

i think i might hire one of those static caravans

 

I want one of them kennel things!

 

what do you hate about tents Maria??? Are they ok if you can walk about properly in them???

 

I hate tents as well. I don't mind the actual being in a tent kind of thing, that's fine. Always liked the idea of camping, I just don't like the idea of all the farting and frigging about erecting the bloody things! And lugging all the ridiculous amount of gear everywhere!

I've stayed in a tent twice. Once at the 2004 Download Festival, and once for a night's "dry run" a couple of weekends beforehand. Lovely big 8-man tent with 4 of us in. Me and my other mate (who feels the same way about tents as me) left all the erecting to the other 2, who were brothers, and LOVE all that kinda stuff and are shit-hot at it, and had it up in no time. But the size and complexity of that tent meant you really had to know what you were doing to get it up.

That's why I love the look of those kennel things. All the joys of camping, but with none of the pissing about!

 

Oooooh, the wonders of sleeping under canvas. You wake up feeling dirty, sweaty and horrible and God forbid it rains or you end up damp too.

 

erm if your really lazy you can buy the really simple pop up tents or the "under 60 seconds" tents that even a muppet can build

 

I have a 9 man tent and know how to put it up. It's tall enough to stand in as well. I'd think I'd be up for it, date dependent

 

Like mike said... the thought of pissing about putting a tent up... taking it down.... folding it up...

On the other hand i think id enjoy it someone did all the hard work for me

 

isnt that what always happens when camping?? the boys set up the tents and generally mess around while the girls do the serious stuff like buy food??

 

I should be so lucky!

 

I leave Dave to do it all

 

If i buy a tent will he put mine up too?

 

Im sure theres enough of us who know how and will still be sober to do it

 

He will if we ask him nicely and give him beer

 

Just buy a cheap tent off ebay.Put it up then just leave it there when you come home.

 

Thats not a bad idea Glen!

Or

Get a pod

 

Your room for the night awaits:



3 pods, each sleeping 3 people. We find 1 in each pod is usually best though, got to have loads of personal space

 

Thats a palace Si!!!

 

Thats not a tent thats a mansion!!!!!

 

Palace? Mansion?

Nah, I prefer to call it my Stately Home from Home.

Although I'm upgrading shortly to this one, mainly cos rather than Pods, it has actual rooms!:



Looks like a right cartoon orgy going on here:



Although if it's an orgy you want, this one looks even better
18 people baby!!



I've got all the caravan electric cables, refigerated cool boxes and strip lights you could ever need, so no roughing it when I go camping.

Got any dates in mind yet M?

 

AWESOME!

Well.... i was thinking August!

 

They call me billy not silly lol.

 

 

Just take your car and sleep in that.

 

No... Victors seats dont fold down completely flat so it would be uncomfortable!!!

 

Well just fall asleep sitting up.Just get pissed then you will sleep anywhere.

 

Plus car seats are pretty uncomfortable for sleeping in. I remember having to sleep in my last puma because the travelodge gave my room away despite me ringing up!!! I had to sleep with harness' on so that i could stay in a semi comfortable position as pro2000's dont recline and otherwise you fall forwards when you nod off
