hi all,
is everyone definitely ok with the site being a bit basic?as i said,there`s toilets,showers,water points etc,but i wouldn`t want people to turn up and think`bloody hell,there`s nowt here` :lol:
if you look on the google map link that i posted,and zoom out a bit,there`s another site a few hundred yards north east,but very busy,definitely would need to book and pay in advance there,but with the site we were thinking of,there`s no booking,and as many or as few of us as we want can turn up,we can pitch where we want,and some folk could visit for the day with no problems at all.
let me know what you think,is basic ok?

I am sorry to say, it is looking less and less likely that we will be able to make it :(
BBQ could be easy sorted, if you just put a few together and several people cooking. The men like doing BBQ's anyway!!! :) and If it is only one night, I don't think you will need a Marquee either. As well you know, If there is any way that we can make it... We Will. I'd hate to miss it.

I'm sure you will have a great time and the BBQ size isn't a big issue. It might even be more fun with a few BBQ's doing different things. I am trully pee'd at not being able to make it, but I will be thinking of you all.
