I'm booked! Swapped my Tough Northerners for Southern Softies. Not because I'm soft but because it won't cost as much for the diesel and I'm away 12-14 March already, and Easter, and now end April. Then there's the Bash, then there's Minehead (combicampers), then there's Cropredy Festival in August. OMG! =D>

bummer - I was really hoping to go on this but saw the medics on Monday and they reckon I'm liable to be having my hernia op. around mid April, so can't plan anything :(

You could take my place at Tough Northerners - unless you're already booked. Ian did say there was a waiting list though.

Will you make it to the Bash?

Ian says on Bongo Fury Homepage "Please note that we are going away for a long weekend. We will close at 4.30pm on Thursday 28th January and will reopen at 9.30am on Tuesday 2 February"

Hopefully someone will be along to send you a reminder at 9.29am on Tuesday unless you know how the alarm thingy works on either your computer or your mobile then you can send yourself an audible reminder. Good luck!

Expect to be at the Bash if at all possible. Not sure about Tough Northerners as its so close to home - I like to have a scenic trip to somewhere new if poss. Anyway I think they are booked up :roll:

Think there was 8 or 9 left when I booked just before 4pm (probably 9. then there was 8 after I booked - then of course there was another half an hour before the lines closed (as they say on TV))!!
