Well we are all packed ready for the off tomorrow after school :D :D , should be at the site around 6:30 to 7:00 pm ......Looking at the forecast that means we should miss the rain and the wind will be dying down.
Here at the moment it's 19c, sunny and will a little breeze, we did have some wind and a little rain overnight :shock: but today has been dry ........again..... :D

hi all,
sadly,due to health issues,we are about 99% sure that we`ll miss this one :(
as we weren`t coming until saturday anyway,there is a chance that all would be fine for then,but i`m posting this now,in case there is anyone out there who could take our place.i think you would need our booking confirmation to do this,so you would probably have to collect from us.
the bongo curse strikes again........................... :(

Sorry gonna miss this one guy's (working all weekend) :x

Anyway I've seen enough of the east coast this year as I've just finished a 7 week stint camped up and working in Skeg-Vegas :lol:

Might try for the peak district meet if it's still on around 16th of oct?

Enjoy it regardless of the weather and I doubt it will be as cold as last time.....

Crack out the bbq's,spam,brollies......

Cheers Steve n paula

Hi All,

We have just arrived home. Thanks for another Anna (and Jim :D ) spectacular weekend. We had a really good time and are all knackered, funny what a bit of fresh air does for you. It was fun to meet up with some familiar faces and some new faces too. Thanks all for a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all again along the way. We are wondering if we should have one more weekend of it before winter. For all those who told us about November camping trips or even New Years Camping trips until we have central heating fitted it seems unlikely.

We took a few photos on Skeggy beach but always forget to take any around the camp....I guess that probably due to the BBQ food Anna and Jim laid on...I can only carry around burger and beer can or camera and beer can not all.... maybe I should invest in a neck strap. The dogs are being bathed at the moment due to having enough sand for a patio in the coats.

See you all soon.

Tony n' Jitka

Thanks also to Anna and Jimmy for arranging another fab weekend and laying on a fantastic spread. Want to also say thanks to Ray and Christine for helping us put the new awning up on Friday teatime and also for cooking us breakfast Saturday morning. It was lovely to see those familiar faces again and also meet some new faces too. We had a great time so thank you to everyone who came and made another smashing meet! Now for a few pics!
