    Hi all

    First off, Kev, with the wet weather (Wot rain you say!!!!) I think it will be the chimney site (GT make sure he has his brushes) as the corner bit is somewhat soft where you got stuck last time!!!!!!

    Yes for the snorkers, those the same old Tesco finest I hope?

    I will bring some french bread and something, Gt will provide desert as always, I wonder what little gem, I await in anticipation!!!!!!!

    Hi Rabbitrex, I don't personally have an issue with you bringing your little uns with you, as its your first visit maybe you should see for yourself before they come along as we will have plenty of meets during the year for them to have some fun, GT's lad is a lot older and has been before. where we are going on Saturday has a lot of hidden holes and disused air raid shelters, so bring a torch and you can decide if you feel its ok for the two, I don't want to spoil your day, just be safe and you make a educated decision. The other site we use is very safe with no hidden hazards which we can show you on the day.

    Meet at Thickthorne Park n ride, this is just off A11/A47 roundabout on the 1172 slip road heading for Hethersett, I will be at the top end of the car park in a grey Freelander from just after 9 and leave about 9 30 to the farm, the site is not secret as Monkiboi thinks just a little off the beaten track to find.

    Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, those making there own way see you in the farm yard

    Kind regards

    Hi everyone

    Just a reminder, mainly for the first timers, remember to bring your own water as there is no facilities at the farm..

    Sorry couldn't make it guys, I had the kids so thought it might be best not to bring them this time. I'm more likely to be able to come in future if it's on a Sunday rather than Saturday but glad you all had a good time. Good to see photos. Shame there aren't anygirls though! I'm a girl by the way

    Someone at the meet wanted to see my hobo stove in action cooking using Dave's cast iron skillet. So check it out.
