You not off up Thursday Lindsay? It's a double bank holiday you know to celebrate the Royal Piss-Up.
HRH herself will be down Wetherspoons for a breakfast pint or three before joining Ebeneezer Goode for a weekend of partying doing the 'big fish, little fish' thing In Da House.
You can't be working on a day like that.

🙄Eek! Thanks for the heads up Steve, I completely forgot about Thursday 🤦🏼‍♀️ It would be rude not to join HRH. Any opportunity for a small sherry will be smashing!

Long range forecast for the weekend (T minus 9) posted to event photos. Not looking too bad, we'll see how that changes day by day.

Yay, and Anita too!
First ones there are to pick a nice spot and hold it so'z the rest of us can camp alongside - might be easier said, eek!
If we're first I'm gonna try for the patch on the left as you go in the field, between the garden and the shelter - but who knows what'll be available.
Getting giddy now

What sort of cash? Have you lot declared independence yet and adopted your own currency? The Sporran I believe it is to be called.
I'm not sure how many Sporrans there are to the pound, but the way Boris is f***ing things up we're going to back to barter anyway.
Based on that can recommend any trade goods we might have that would be wanted north of the wall?

Anyone travelling from the South, we will be in Squires carpark no later than 9.30am, and due to meeting up with Steve H in Middleton-in-Teesdale at 11am outside the Teesdale Hotel, we will be literally in and out of the carpark, making sure that we pick up anyone who wants to travel up with us. I know SusiPop n perhaps Karnage are.

If you want to join us, please let me know, then we won't leave you behind, in the car park!

The journey will be straight up the A1, as it's the quickest route to get to Steve in time for the onward journey North.

Well, given that it is her Platinum jubilee we'll accept anything (not home printed or minted) with Lizzes picture on it. Shops and petrol station take plastic, so it's mostly just for the camping and bags of logs, or to make a contribution if we pool catering efforts one evening.

We already invented whisky and haggis so don't really need trade goods from your side of the wall, sorry.

What about blankets? Glass beads? How about Gaviscon? Its a magic potion recommend by our best shamen as a cure for overindulgence.

Oooo, shiny things! Danny's a sucker for shiny tools 🔧 . Go on, bring your trade goods and we'll see what we can barter them for.

@Lindsay, I have a small jar of rhubarb and strawberry gin on the go, at your request, so you get to be gin-e-pig.

@everyone, no fruit cake this time
