Ok, i've had a quick chat with charlie and although it may seem like it is a bit of a way away........it is!! :D:D:D

As a preliminary thing, we suggest that the Derby/Notts/Leics folk, meet at a central place and then we head up the country in a fairly direct manner (Maybe a charlie type detour ;) on route ) I anticipate that the Midlands scoobs will account for maybe 30% of the NORTHERN BIG ONE totals

Can you let us know if you want to travel with the Midlands group by posting on here. Don't worry about a list, I'll sort that

Who's in? I also appreciate that the list will be VERY loose for now, Christ, I don't even know what i'm doing THIS weekend ;)
Mikey & Charlie :cool:

It is Fathers Day, but I'll see what I can do - maybe drag him along for the ride :D:D:D:D

And we're off!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Mikey :cool:

Stick me name down, I might be available :)

I'll be up for it :D

I'm up for it :D

Mikey & Charlie

You ditched Ame for Charlie m8 ? :)
Ill get my coat

Anyway yup im/were up for it.

Andy/Michelle

Attu, you truly are a..........;) anyways, hows about this for an idea?

Travel up on the Saturday and do a camping thing in Yokshire somewhere :D:D:D You know, travel up, do the BBQ and a few beers thing and then after some kip, leave in the morning onwards to the meet.

Just an idea incase folk don't fancy 3hrs driving, 3 hrs meet folled by 3 hrs driving :(. Also thought that it would make it more attractive for folk who are coming from even further south than us lot!

Voice ya opinions here and if there is enough support for the idea, then Charlie will check out what campsites we can over run nearer the meet destination.

Mikey & Ame & Charlie :rolleyes: (That looks even MORE suspect ;) )

Mikey, I'll see you all there, me and the missus 'll probably go up the day before and stay with my folks before coming over on Sunday.

:D

Mikey & Ame & Charlie (That looks even MORE suspect )

Much as I love you both ;) I cant see her agreeing to that! :eek: ;)

Let's just concentrate on making this into a weekend rather than a day event ;)

What, you want me & Ame to keep you entertained all weekend :eek:

Seriously though, who else is up for the camping/week end thing?

Flat 4, you don't wanna go and visit rellys on a weekend full of scoob stuff! Do you :( Join us dude, you know it'll be more fun :D

Mikey :cool:

Yeah, I'm up for a weekend thing.. and I can recommend a campsite.. just a couple of miles from Lightwater Valley.. and good local pub. We use the place every year :D

Let me know if you wnat me to get the details and I'll try to post them on here:D:D:D

http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/ymca.gif Camp as a row of tents :eek: lol. Aint dun that since i were a nipper sounds tempting even if in deepest darkest northern land :p
Si

Shaggy, can you e-mail me details? Remember that there may be as many as 50 scoobs and 100 people to accomodate :eek:


Scooby Si, C'mon.You know you wanna :D Don't forget that it will be mid June so it won't be that dark and is shouldn't be as wet either :rolleyes:

Mikey :cool:

Camping.... haven't done that for many a long year. Wonder if my tent is still in one piece? Will have to look it out - I think it's in the shed with 4 wheels, an exhaust, a mower, a strimmer, a wheelbarrow, 10,000 dead spiders, assorted other junk.
Any B&Bs nearby?

I know of one of those too Tony - actually, come to think of it....
:D:D:D:D

Mikey. That should be ok.. its quite a large place and we've had 30 tents / caravans there before with no issues :D

I'll get hold of the details and mail 'em to ya :)

I could be persuaded to do the weekend thing. :D Not sure if the missus'll go for camping tho' likes her creature comforts. ;)

Might be able to tempt her if a B&B's on offer. Let you know nearer the time.

Chris :)

I am right in thinking it's at Light Water Valley aren't I? I reckon it's about a 2 hour drive max. Easy do it on the day rather than faffing about with camping. IMHO of course. I'll probabaly be there but can't be bothered with all this tents lark. :D

Steve :D

You miss the point entirely!

The Saturday would be a drive up by the most interesting & scenic route :D

The Saturday night camp is a way to drink & get to know other Scooby peeps without just standing in a car park sipping coke & staring under each others bonnets :rolleyes:

Then not have to get up early to get to the meet and enjoy the day & not be too tired for the '2 hour' trip home' :D

(btw I usually get back from York in 1:15 ;)

We will have to drive up the morning of the meet as our soon to be arrival will only be 4 months old or so.
Then again if we havnt had any sleep for 4 months we could pitch a tent next to you lot and he can keep you all awake as well :)
TBH i think our only option will be to drive up pthat morning and meet you there.

Andy

I like pitching a tent ;)
Si

i love camping it up in the great outdoors ;):rolleyes: if nothing crops up (like a proper holiday) then i'm in :D

do i need to add my name to list or something?
