Won't be the same without your little tent in the middle!
Which tent? The juan from Go Outdoors? Or the juan without a flysheet?

Yes. You know which one I'm refering to...

The juan sheet tent!!!! :lol:

I can always bring a small tent for the middle, as long as I remember a mini bar.

Hi all, Sorry to say not going to make this one. Jo and I enjoyed last year but what with the weather and Jo's ongoing health probs it isn't going to happen. Hope you all have a great time and we hope to catch up with you all soon. Cazzyblues and Jo.

Hi All
I’m a new Bongo owner
In fact I have only picked it up today
It’s a 2wheel drive 2.5 turbo with a side conversion

We see that you are having a bit of a doo at Easter and as we was planning on trying it out at the weekend we thought it would be nice to come along to the meet

I have just finished joining the club on line so all that will be sorted

I just have to sort out some insurance which I will do on Wednesday as I won’t have time tomorrow
I was going to try and get insurance with European breakdown cover any Tips?

So if it all works out would it be OK to turn up at the weekend?

Not sure if we will get there Saturday or Friday but we have the rest of the week off after the weekend so we might stay on or have a drive down Devon way just to try it out

Bob

Hi Bob, welcome aboard.

Just book direct with the pub, pretty sure contact details are in Crazy's first post.

Don't think you will have any probs getting in as the forecast isn't brilliant, but be good to see you. :)

Pub looks lovely.

Sadly Easter is a not starter for us as a pair of shift workers rostered on. One Heathrow, the other an ICU Nurse.

Pup looks great though. Hope you all have a great time. :(

Greetings Easter folk
Sadly Neil & I can't join you after all - Bongo has gone back to Rupert on a breakdown truck. :(

All the coolant disappeared - luckily Neil noticed steam and stopped before doing any damage =D>

There is a hole in the radiator and the cam seals are leaking.

Rupert says he'll fix it all under warranty - but meanwhile, no Easter camping for us.

Those of you that make it - I think it's the Devizes to Westminster canoe race today? May be worth a look.

Have a great time, and hope to see you some other time
