Been told the boys are not coming now, long story , so work permitting, i might mosey on down on Friday and have a long weekend.

[Simon H]

Spike I've got next Friday free so if you fancy an early start I'll meet you over there in the morning.Have a good holiday Dave!

[jackcbr]

Am on the train to Gatwick as I am off on my holiday but hope to see you all Sunday morning.

You should have said mate. You could have parked at mine. Would have been cheaper than the train

[Hugo]

I'll be there on Friday, well someone has to keep Simon company.

Not sure what time im likely to get there, will know for definate later in the week, im going to aim for around lunch time(ish) though

[spandit]

I think my +1 (the lad I brought along before) might be there on Friday night but due to a prior engagement, I'm expecting to arrive Saturday morning

[Simon H]

I reckon I'll be there mid to late morning.

[jackcbr]

Going to be a Saturday for me.

[Simon H]

No Jack or Spandit until Saturday? It won't be the same for so many unprintable reasons....

[spandit]

I'll text you some dirty things to say...

[jackcbr]

Enjoy the peaceful woods, listen to the bird song and eat all your sausages while you can.

No, I'm saying I know how annoying I can be. We all love your northern humour and tails of whippets and working down t'pit.

Only kidding. I'll miss you too.

[spandit]

I won't... I'm used to looking down at you (in more ways than one...)

[Dark Horse Dave]

Been trying to work out how to do this weekend, what with Mrs DHD being away. I think I should be OK but will probably have 2-3 kids in tow (might need to bring a friend for my daughter).

Should be down on Friday late afternoon / early evening.

I'll put some rope in the car and we can set up a rope swing for the kids to go play on if you like?

Excellente. Ms. Swift did a last minute trip to Ireland, but was ordered by Swallow Jr. 1 they had to be back for the meet.

Anyone 6ft or under.

[jackcbr]

I'm just 6ft. It better be a strong rope.

[widu13]

Spanders sometimes brings some rope for the kids to play with that he doesn't mind being knotted etc.

[Swallow]

I'm just 6ft. It better be a strong rope.

We can thicken it by weaving in sausages around it. When the swing it done we eat it, conforming to the "no trace" policy.

[Kepis]

think we should will be ok with this stuff

Rope Diameter		Minimum Breaking Strength		Safe Load (Safety Factor 12)		Weight
(in)	(mm)	(lbf)	(kN)	(lbf)	(kN)	(lbm/ft)	(kg/m)
1/4	6	1125	5.00	93.8	0.417	0.01	0.02

Mind you, it is a bit frayed in places

[TimD]

Hi All,
If its ok, I'd like to attend this weekend with a +1?
Have access to Scout stores and can bring along more rope if desired?
We'd be arriving Saturday late afternoon/early evening.

Regards,
Tim

[Hugo]

Your most welcome to come along Tim, if you book in at the main office they will tell where we are camping.

[TimD]

Thank you, looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday.
(any guidance on camp etiquette at these meets? General cooking, sharing etc?)

Tim

[Simon H]

Most people cook for themselves Tim but sometimes someone does a communal meal. No one's metioned a communal meal this time so I'd come equipped to cook for yourself. I don't enjoy cooking much so I put more effort in to other things and cater for myself if that makes sense.

[Big Stu 12]

Sound like its all coming together wish I could come again, going to try to make it next month funds allowing.... may even be bringing a freind with me... but it will mean I'll be ground dwelling ..... in a tent ...
