Re: 2013 Foreign "Get together with the Russian Bongo Club"

Hi Helen,
What is an Origo Stove ? If it heats your awning, you will not need it in Hungary in July!

Re: 2013 Foreign "Get together with the Russian Bongo Club"

Hi Helen and Spike,

We do not have any plans yet for the end of July period. We called in to the east end of the lake on our way back from Bulgaria in 2011. We enjoyed all the campsites we stayed on in Hungary.

Re: Yorkshire Dales

Ice cream in Skipton sounds good for us in February. Brrr.... the first blast of winter hit our side of the Pennines on Friday.
Hope to be there.

Re: Autumn Bash 30th Sept - 2nd Oct (Eliot's birthday party

Harry, Thanks for organising the event. Hope you raised plenty of money for Kendal Mountain Rescue. It was great to meet up with everyone. Thank you all for being so friendly and making us welcome. We also tried the take away curry from Silverdale since our BBQ skills are not too good. Excellent mea...

Hi all, Thank you all for your advice. I have put some of our pictures on Picasa, so now all I need to do is transfer them to these forum pages.

Re: The Trip, photos, and reports

Help! It does not look very easy to put my photos on the forum site since they are on my PC. I don't understand the suggestion in faq. Any suggestions for a quick method of achieving this?

Hi everyone,
At long last we have sorted out our photos from the trip.
However I am not sure how to post the pictures on this forum page. I will look for instructions, so watch this space.

Chris - We are on for any trip next year.

Re: Autumn Bash 30th Sept - 2nd Oct at Silverdale

Re: Final Arrangements

Hi all, We have already set off and reached Austria yesterday (14th July). We had a good run from the ferry terminal at Dunkirk except for roadworks north of Brussels on the RO ringroad. This caused about 30 minutes delay, so I suggest you all add in this to your timings because the work will will s...

Re: Trip Details

Hi Helen, I have just checked the Forum site and I think that you may have indicated that we wanted to book night 4 at Salisteanca. In fact we do not require this booking as we have already made arrangements for this night elsewhere in Romania. We hope to meet up with the other Bongos en route betwe...
