Hi Mo3,
Not sure where your Mid-Whales (see what I did there :wink: ) location is - you can PM me if interested in the following:

They are great aren't they!
And situated just off the half way point of my trans-pennine (M62) commute, so a nice detour at Saddleworth if there is a log-jam ahead on the way back home. In fact an attractive alternative to a Motorway service station rest stop.

Re: Use of the Marquee
Hi kbg,
I'm on reception Sunday morning, so if you make it come and say hello so I can give you a proper thanks for your Scottish suggestions :D
Oh, go on then, I will aim to wander over with a bacon and/or egg barm for you. :)

Re: Off to Scotland
My general take on this (after much reading and listening, and a little recent experience):
Well I think roughly speaking, outside of the Scottish (1/7 to 16/8) and England&Wales (15/7 – 2/9) school holidays you should be OK. Within these times then accessible and popular / trendy places (like Skye ...

Re: From one B-word to another
Normal B-words (on a family-friendly forum) would be things like barbecue, bockwürst, bratwürst and burgers. Maybe Bordeaux, Burgundy or Beaujolais if you're into a spot of red and maybe Barcelona, Berlin or Blackburn if you're talking tours.
I think the best word I coined was Bongolianism (do a ...

Thanks. Lots of food for thought there. But also a few weeks for me to ponder the roof vs back box options before the main Summer break.

Hmmmm...new to me...just looked that up....I very much like the look of that - both technically (load spreading / robustness) and aesthetically, and price looks decent too.

From one B-word to another
I have been desperately waiting for the last 3 years for a new B-word to come along.
The old one is tired and jaded :)
Then like the proverbial bus a load of new ones come along at once.
OK so, I was wondering, apart from Bill, Ben, and Bob, what are your other favorite Bongo-words on here?

Re: Roof boxes
Thanks for the extra tips. At 5' 5" I may need two ladders.
Funnily enough I need one of these for some attic decoration - so might kill two birds with one stone.
Scarring not nice - I will watch how I drop it.

Do 'Apprentice Bongonauts' get met as well as 'Bongonauts'? :?
Or do I just have to post like crazy in the run up? :)
And what if they arrive later?
