Right you horrible lot
Have had a major session timing a decent route and have had to chop loads out
If we are gonna get to do the NYM justice and get to the campsite early enough than we have to be on the case!
Therfore it is 10:00 for 10:30 departure from Woodhall Services! Dont be late or we will leave without you!
I know it is early for some of you, and me! But it will be worth it
CW
btw if anyone wants to revisit the Moors after this 'preview' I can thoroughly recommend it and will be only too happy to point out the numerous highlights (it took me 3 1/2 days last year and I'm still finding more!)

A suggestion to all!
Get a map/road atlas and if you have a passenger, get them to FOLLOW the route as we drive along it, even if you are car three in a 5 car group. Do not rely on being able to stick with the car infront (Not a speed thing but cos of roundabouts, traffic, traffic lights etc) If someone is following the route on the map, then even if you get hopelessly lost, you will be able to meet up at a later point by making your way to an intercept point further along the route. Make sense? Remember it won't be just yourself that gets lost but everyone behind you If you are travelling alone, you really have to have your wits about you. As soon as you are lost STOP. Look at your trip meter, work out where you should be, take stock and come join the fun again.
Also, i found that it helps to accept that you WILL get lost at least once every 50 miles It's normal so don't let it spoil ya enjoyment Besides, it makes for excellent campfire banter "Can't believe you got lost on the motorway!!!"

Is anyone staying at the camp site Sunday night too?
I'm working Sat night so heading straight up after a 12 hour night shift
12 hour night shift + 4/5 hour drive + 5/6 hours of Scooby chat
Don't think I should drive home the same day somehow!!!

Hi guys
Hope you don't mind this intrusion from a REAL Northerner. I am coming down on the Saturday and hopefully camping out with my son. He is only 6 so its all a big adventure for him. Can you give me details of a local campsite.
