Firepit found, bongo mostly packed. Can't find my hoard of cracklelogs. Anyone got any can you bring one or two please. These are the slow-burning compressed things.

PS Gazebo packed!

Sadly we are bowing out too as we've still not got our bongo back from France :(

I'm sure you'll all have a fab time. Look forward to some pics :)

Mrs B picked up one of those logs in Poundland today, by far the cheapest I've seen, and we can probably scavenge some dead wood.

We have as much firewood as we can sensibly pack, too.

Guessing about 14.00 - 14.30 arrival. :D

Good. Look forward to seeing you then. I'll try to pick up one of those logs on the way. Garages usually sell them.

Sadly not for a quid though.

Seriiously Jilly, I recon we can run both for the w/e, and send runners out if we get cold.

Remember, we have a whole group of DofE girls to entertain, so I'm sure we can swap a song or two for some firewood and use of a loo. :lol:

We have almost unlimited wood at home so PM if you need me to bring 'Loads'

Also, further to my post in Off Message, if anyone does have any old bedding or spare tinned food our supported charity is the Julian Trust in Bristol.

The forecast looks dry for Ledbury for the weekend, so you should be OK. Just hope it is moe accurate than the one down here which is also supposed to be dry, but is actually chucking it down.

Wish I could join you, but although I am much recovered sitting out in the cold is still definitely not a good idea. :cry: :cry:
