lol at steve , thats a good idea i never thought of that, if you had charged us 50p per squirt of your avon potion that you had with you could have got your drink paid for lol well maybe a small portion of it anyway
hate the little buggers defo Midge net for me and a big fire would do the trick also i recon
Love a good fire! The smokier the better for keeping midges away, but that makes it not quite so nice to gather around - every silver lining has its cloud!
The Border Reivers consisted of English and Scottish folk from the late 13th century, they raided the Borders of Scotland and England sometimes as far as Yorkshire. They rode using horsepower and ponies and were kitted out with body armour and tin helmets, and were considered among the finest light cavalry. During the summer they lived in tents beside the lochs and at night even today if you listen carefully, their cry can still be heard after dark, ''Gie's a break midge bugger'' !! and '' Oh look twa flying pigs'' !!! pmsl!!
aye good story scotdick. lets nominate sd as our bard :-) we will be coming up to tibby's saturday morning, but as i expect you will all be catastrophically hung over we will no doubt be in time for a ride. if not someone text me the route and we will catch up with you.
Hi Steve, I have your number from the Dent weekend but I'm sure others have it too. If we head off before you arrive we'll put down breadcrumbs. Of course you'll no have a tent to pitch when you arrive, which saves time.
'fraid very little is free these days and the camping isn't an exception: Single Person£7.00 pnSmall Tent (2 people)£10.00 pnLarge Tent (3-6 people)£14.00 pn
but, in the scheme of things, it's good value for a weekend with such great company! I'll be over on Friday afternoon too and I'll put the kettle on as soon as I'm pitched, might even start a fire!
Hiya Shaz , sorry about forgetting to mention the charges . The reality is that the charges seem to vary according to Al's hangover and the weather. At easter he charged me a fiver for the whole wknd. I'm looking to be there around lunchtime friday . Dusty x The weather forecast is outstanding , could be another wet Tshirt wknd xxx
hi dusty good to hear from you mate, yea the air conditioned t shirt is a great idea and it looked to work a treat lol, prices no probs just wasent sure , sounds fantastic as up north was soo hot the whole time we were there so fingers crossed , see you there chears
Where're you getting your forecast Dusty? I don't even believe what they say about this weekend let alone next (that's if I can find one that far ahead)! No matter, it's the company we gather for and I'm looking forward to it.
Hi Izzy, The Weather Channel . 10day forecast . Coz it's always sunny on a 10dayer, lol Of course if the weather is atrocious we can always sit in the pub all wknd. Dusty x
