Camping at the National

Post by Lou »

Will there be a designated area for us (like last year, ahem :) )? Who else is camping? And will there be enough cake? :o :D

I'm camping. I think somebody said there would be a designated website area.

The cake is a lie!

I figure we'll be camping, though we won't be there until saturday lunchtime at the earliest.

It's entirely possible we'll bring cake, almost certainly of the chocolate variety.

I was planning to travel up on Friday but I am currently away on a two week residential training course and won't get home until Friday afternoon so I'll probably be travelling up on Saturday morning instead. Will be camping on Saturday and possibly Sunday.

This year I'll be bringing with me a large 1970's awning 8) which will be just the job for sitting and eating cake in if the weather is a bit iffy. Plenty of space - all welcome :lol: (might need a hand on putting it up though so if you see someone struggling under a large mound of brown, orange & beige canvas it will be me!)

Will definately bring some cake but due to being away all next week it might have to be shop bought rather than home made :wink:

That reminds me of my time in the boy scouts. Those big old heavy canvas tents weren't just a pain to erect, they leaked like a sieve! ;)

I need to get my own tent out and check it still has all the right pieces.

It's easy to erect, just a lot quicker and easier with more than one pair of hands :lol: Will hopefully not leak like a sieve as cake will get mushy :-?

Never mind the people, it's the cake that's important :D
