Hill Of Oaks, Windermere - May 2010 anyone?

[mikeonb4c]

The hard ground pegs needed for hill of oaks are the knock in ones ok or do they need to be screw in type, thanks all,
Carlo

I got by fine last year with the hardened steel knock in ones and a mallet to bang them in. Most of the site is quite sheltered too so with luck there shouldn't be too much of a 'wind tugging' problem

Not sure how easy it would be to use the screw in (doggie stake is what I have) type

[where's Wally???]

Thanks mikeonb4c I'll get some ordered tomoz.
Cheers carlo

On previous visits to Hill Of Oaks we have found that these have done the job nicely. Jamie tends to use a lump hammer rather than the rubber mallet though

I use these on most sites~i knock em in with a claw hammer which i've widened (the claw bit) with an angle grinder then you can pull em out as well.

I will PM you all in a couple of weeks with the code for the automatic barrier should you arrive after 9PM. I will also give a list of pitch numbers to head for. Some of the pitches are huge so have been doubled up on, so if you have a friend you are happy to be pitched up with please let me know
Right then - its time to get those dinghys dusted off cos I've ordered nice weather for this meet

Cheers for now
Di

Only 4 weeks to go now

I think you can put me and Dabs on one of the big pitches.

[Diane]

I've already had message of Dabs to make sure that he is no where near you

[mister munkey]

I'll try to turn the thumbscrews on Stilldesperate - He has connections in the sailing fraternity on Windemere, could get a cushty ride out on the water . . . .
